Juicing Tips and Techniques Purchasing and Storing Your Fruits & Vegetables • Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing. • Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing. • To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruits or vegetables that are in season. • Keep your fruits and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing. • Most fruits and hardier type vegetables can be stored at cool room temperature.
The Right Blend • It is not difficult to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable and fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, color, texture and ingredients are all personal preferences. Just think of some of your favorite flavors and foods; would they work well together or would they clash? Some strong flavors could overpower the more subtle flavors of others.
