Berries and Small Fruits
Juicing berries may seem a bit challenging at first but once you get the hang
of it you will love the great flavors they add to your juice. Not to mention the
health benefits they have to offer. When juicing berries (except cranberries) you
will need to add something that contains a larger volume of juice such as an
apple or orange. Strawberries contain the most juice as they tend to be large.
For example, process the berries first (you may not see a lot of juice come out at
first), then add an apple or an orange, something that is juicy. Once you process
this you will see the berry juice come pouring out.
Fresh Juice Looks Different Than Bottled
You will be making FRESH JUICE. With no additives, food coloring or sugar, so it
may look and taste different from what you’re used to with store bought juice.
Fresh juice tends to have a thin layer of foam on top, if you don’t like it that
way; use a spoon to give it a quick stir or to skim it off completely.
The Power of Pulp
We like to say that with the Power Juicer, nothing is wasted, that’s why we have
also included some easy food recipes for soups, muffins, salsa, and more. If you
like pulp in your juice, take some from the pulp collector and add it back to your
juice with a quick stir to mix it in.
Keeping the Pulp Collector Clean
When juicing in large volume be sure to empty the pulp collector often. Larger
quantities of produce can cause the pulp to back up into the filter causing the
motor to shut off. Insert a plastic bag inside the pulp collector. When you are
done juicing, the bag can be lifted out and disposed of easily leaving the pulp
collector clean.
Following these tips
your juicing experience
is sure to be a delightful one!
