Preparing Fruits And Vegetables For Juicing - Bella Nutripro Instruction Manual

PREPaRInG fRUITs anD VEGETablEs foR JUICInG

• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a
natural bristle brush . If you are not using
organic produce, we recommend using
a biodegradable cleaner to help remove
pesticide residue .
• Remove and discard the outer leaves
of non-organic produce and peel any
waxed fruit or vegetable .
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all organic produce
(including pineapple and melons) except
lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit, and
tangerines . The oil found in these skins is
bitter tasting and difficult to digest .
• Remove melon seeds when possible.
The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears,
and peaches should also be removed .
• Cut produce into pieces small enough
to fit into the hopper . Use the food pusher
to gently direct produce through the tube .
NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED
TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS .
• It may be necessary to cut hard produce
(carrots, beets, pineapple, etc . ) into smaller
pieces to facilitate juicing .

• Leafy greens, parsley, wheatgrass, and sprouts
should be bunched into a small, tight ball
and pushed through the hopper with the
food pusher .
NOTE: FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS when juicing,
alternate between leafy, harder, and softer produce .
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear
juice cannot be obtained from them and
residue left in the machine can clog the
stainless steel juice strainer .
• For best results when juicing apricots,
plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes,
produce should be firm .
• When juicing apples, add a small amount
of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down
the browning process .
• The Cold Press Juicer is not suitable for
processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy
fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane .
• Fruits that contain starch or some fiber, such
as bananas, mango, papaya, avocado, figs,
peaches are not suitable for juicing; residue
left in the machine can clog the stainless
steel juice strainer . However, when frozen,
the pulp spout will eject a creamy, fresh fruit
sorbet that can be enjoyed in moments!
