8 Simple Tips to Make Fruit and Vegetable Juice at Home

“If you want to be healthy, you must eat fruits, vegetables and greens” – this is what we hear as kids and start believing only after we have grown enough to realise what we could have missed out on. Then is the time for repair and we come to the phase where we want to extract all the nutrition from the healthy foods and drink them up rather than eating it. Yes, we use a juice maker and liquefy these nutrients.

To get the most out of your juices, make note of the following tips:

1. Use the Right Appliance

The juicer you choose makes all the difference to the end result. A centrifugal juicer is different from a masticating juicer and you must be clear on the desired end result when making your choice.

2. Know What You Can Juice

It is possible to juice fruits, vegetables and greens and if you prep them right, you can extract almost all the nutrition. Use seasonal foods for the best result.

3. Avoid Ingredients with Low Liquid Content

Avoid fruits and vegetables that have more fibre and less liquid. Examples are coconut and sugarcane.

4. Learn the Right Way to Prep

Chop the ingredients to fit the chute comfortably; remove the tougher skin, peels and the pith to make the process smooth and get the best taste.

5. Make It Easy to Clean

The best of juicers will generate dry waste and lining the pulp collector will make cleaning it a breeze.

6. Don’t Store the Juice for Long

It is healthy to drink the juice soon after it is squeezed as it does not have preservatives. If required, store it in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours.

7. Use Only the Prescribed Tools

Do not use tools such as plungers that do not come with your juicer. This could damage the appliance and cause injury to yourself, too.

8. Clean Up Immediately

Letting the juicer dry up before you clean it is a mistake. It will take up too much effort and time later. The sooner you clean it, the better it is.

Blending different juices can give rise to some delicious mocktails, but make sure you get the blend right. Try different combinations and follow the above-listed tips each time you juice.
