Think Again, If You Think Juicing Is Hard. Try The Tips Here!

The process of extracting juice from fruits and vegetables is known as juicing.
Juicing is a great way to get a tasty beverage from foods you enjoy, while gaining
health benefits, such as vitamins and nutrients. Juicing can be done manually or
with a machine. Which ever method you choose, the tips in this article should help
you.

Crumple up leafy greens, such as spinach, into tight balls before putting them in
your juicer. Your juicer is primarily designed to deal with solid fruits and
vegetables, not thin leaves. You will get better results from your juicer if you
simulate this effect by squashing your leafy greens before juicing.

Look into juicers that use the masticating process instead of the centrifuge
process for extraction. The masticating way of juicing preserves many more
nutrients than the centrifuge, the reduction of heat produced during the process. A
centrifuge juicer can still be a great value just do your homework first.

If storing your juice, use only air tight containers to avoid the damage from
oxidation. Refrigerate your juice and as a little helper, add in just a little bit
of lemon juice to help keep your juice as fresh as possible. Following these steps
should lead you to still have tasty, healthy juice even hours after you did the
juicing.

When making carrot juice, make absolutely sure to get fresh, healthy carrots. Signs
of old carrots are rubberiness, limpness, wilted tops, and excessive cracking. Look
for carrots that have a full color, are firm to the touch, and have green, leafy
tops. These carrots will produce the freshest, sweetest juice.

When making home-made juice, it's by far the best to drink it fresh. If you must
store it, use an opaque, airtight container with no air inside. To remove air, you
can either add filtered water or use a food saver to suck out the excess air. Don't
store fresh juice for more than 24 hours, even under these conditions.

When making large amounts of juice at once, make sure to take breaks to clean out
the pulp and let the juicer rest. Not only will the pulp start slipping in after a
while, but you'll also prolong the life of your juicer. One break every couple
pounds of produce is a safe bet.

Buying fruit and vegetables for your juicing can be easy by using all five senses
to find the freshest produce to bring home. Sniff the item and make sure it smells
good, like you would want to eat it. Squeeze it and feel if it's too hard or too
soft. Look it over for imperfections, and then take it home and taste a bit. Enjoy!
