Par ticularly suitable for processing in the juice extractor are pineapples, beetroots, celer y stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes. -You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick peels, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples and uncooked beetroots. Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste. -When you prepare apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the apple you are using.The juicier the apple the thinner the juice. Choose an apple that produces the type of juice you prefer. -Apple juice turns brown ver y quickly.You can slow down this process by adding a few drops of lemon juice. -Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits. -Leaves and leafstalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juice extractor. -Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice will lose its taste and nutritional value.
