Juicing Tips - Jack LaLanne Fusion Juicer SHL-90 Owner's Manual

The Benefits of Juicing:
Juicing should be done in conjunction with your regular daily consumption
of fruits and vegetables. Consuming whole fruits and vegetables daily
helps you get much needed fiber. Juicing is just a quicker way to get
many of the health benefits you need from fresh food, including antioxidants
and nutrients.
Get the Most From Your Fusion Juicer:
Some varieties of produce are more difficult to process than others. The
chart on page 9 will help take the guesswork out of juicing. The amount
of juice you process depends on which fruits and vegetables you select.
Produce such as oranges, apples, melons and cucumbers tend to yield
more juice and should be mixed with those that don't.
Guidelines for Juicing:
We recommend juicing those produce items that you would normally
consume. Before juicing any produce it is important to wash it thoroughly
to remove all contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Skins, Stems and Seeds:
Skins: Juicing with the skins on is a personal preference
with most produce.
Stems: The only stems that are beneficial to process are
grape stems. All others should be removed as they
have nothing to offer.
Seeds: Removing seeds is discretionary due to certain
health risks associated with certain produce.
Carrots:
Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature
and irregular shape. Do not overstuff the chute. Leave some room
on the sides to be able to maneuver the carrots while juicing. They
tend to bounce around inside the chute. Use the pusher to guide
them to the blade.
Citrus Fruits:
We recommend you remove the skins from citrus fruits. They certainly
can be juiced with the skin on and some recipes actually tell you to juice
with the skin. The reason we recommend you remove the skin is mostly
due to the tart flavor. It is a personal preference.
