5 key points to keep in mind while making Vegetable Juices
1) All vegetables should be juiced raw. Always choose vegetables that are ripe but firm.
2) Choose only the freshest produce for juicing. Wilted greens will produce juices that are neither tasty nor healthy.
3) Make sure that all the fruits and vegetables are cleaned thoroughly as they are to be consumed raw.
4) For maximum freshness, flavour and nutrients, cut or chop the vegetables just before you are ready to juice them.
5) Do not peel or core the vegetables as most of the fibre lies just beneath the skin. All leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce, celery etc.), carrots, apples and citrus fruits (outer peel removed) can be easily passed through the hopper. A word of caution here, seeds of fruits like apple, pear, sweet lime, oranges etc. are toxic and hence should be discarded, so should the top and leaves of carrots.
