Cuisine Tips


Everyone And Their Mother Is Juicing, So Why Aren't You?

If you're juicing, you need to realize that each fruit is different. Certain fruits, like oranges or tangerines, often require a different machine when juicing. You'll need to be cautious when using melons, as mixing their juice with other fruits can impair the taste.

Think of your juice as a whole meal. Once you are an experienced juicer and you realize how many fruits and vegetables it takes to make your juice, this concept will make sense. Drinking the juice as a meal will help your body get the nutrients you need.

If you are trying to shed some pounds, drink fresh pineapple juice. You also want to add in apple and berry with pineapple to give it a good flavor. You can lower the calories by adding an equal amount of water. Pineapple juice tastes best when served with plenty of ice.

After juicing, it is always a good idea to rinse the juicer as soon as possible. The inherent qualities of some ingredients can also leave stains on the various elements of your juicer.

If you feel tired, achy and are slowing down because of your age, add juice to your lifestyle to bring back the spring in your steps. There are many nutrients in juice that can keep the body in top shape by repairing any damage and giving you energy.

Try a masticating juicer. Masticating juicers extract juice less forcefully than regular juicers, enabling the juice to retain more nutrients. In addition, the juice has a longer storage life.

To keep dark leafy greens at their optimum freshness, store them in sealed plastic bags in the refrigerator. Wash the greens first and make sure they are thoroughly dry before sealing them in the bags.

When juicing, adding pulp back into the juice may be beneficial. Pulp contains natural fibers that your body needs to cleanse the digestive tract, and it also provides extra nutritional value to your juices. You can vary the amount you add based on your own preferences, but the more fiber, the better.

Juice the entire fruit, and that includes the peels or skin. The peels and skins of fruit include many healthy ingredients such as nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. In fact, in fruits, such as the apple, there are more flavonoids in the peel than in the fruit itself. Be advised, however, to not use orange, grapefruit or other citrus peels in any juice concoction. The reason for this is that the peels of these two fruits contain toxins and possibly pesticides.

When you select a juicer to purchase, make sure you choose one that is easy for maintenance. The longer it takes you to use and clean your appliance, the less likely you'll want to use it. Make sure to clean your juicer soon after you've finished with it, as pulp can stick to your juicer and harden, making cleaning more difficult.

If you have hypoglycemia or diabetes, stick to juicing vegetables until you consult with your physician. Drinking fruit juice may cause your blood sugar to spike. It is important to monitor how much fruit you are juicing in your mixes to allow for your medical needs. Stick to vegetables that will give you plenty of nutrients without aggravating a medical issue.

You can make juice that is extra healthy for you by using dark green vegetables as the base. You will want your juice to be in the range of 50-75 percent chard, broccoli, spinach or any type of similar vegetable in order to achieve ultimate health benefits. Add in some apple or another tasty ingredient to make the remaining percentage taste delicious.

Not only is juicing a tasty endeavor, it will contribute to you having a healthy diet. Juicing fresh fruits and vegetables provides your body with all of the vitamins and minerals that it needs.

Bon Appetit!
