Getting the most out of Vegetables with Champion Juicer
I have shared briefly on the benefits of vegetable juice to revitalize our bodies. Now, I am going to share a few tips and tricks on preparing fresh raw vegetable juices using Champion Juicer.
1. Which vegetable should you juice?
-
Good question! It is all up to YOU.
-
To make juicing pleasant and enjoyable, the vegetables you choose must taste pleasant or according to your taste preference.
-
Avoid strong tasting vegetables eg. leeks, onion, garlic etc even though these are healthy choices.
-
Be creative to try mix and match different types of vegetables so that you will get a good variety of nutrients.
-
One good guide I follow is to incorporate a rainbow colored range of vegetables in my juices. Champion Juicer chews up practically any type of vegetables you feed to the juicing chamber.
2. Balance vegetables which are high in sugar content with other lower sugar vegetables.
-
Generally, root vegetables contain higher sugar than those vegetables that grow above the ground.
-
Use carrots, beetroots, potatoes, cabbage etc in moderation and always mix with vegetables like celery, cucumber, leafy greens, lettuce etc. These are choices that are friendly to the Champion Juicer.
3. Use organic vegetables whenever possible and stick to local produce.
-
Even though Champion Juicer separates the mineral nutrients from the pulp where inorganic pesticides may be trapped, it is always wise to spent a little more to buy organic grown vegetables. You will get more nutrients out of organic vegetables.
-
Support the local produce or farm. That way, you will get vegetables that are fresh and full of enzymes.
4. Drink immediately.
-
Even though Champion Juicer can make you high quality juices which are not compromised by oxidation, you will get the best of nutrients if you drink it immediately after you juice it.
-
Having said so, juices made with Champion Juicer can be stored up to a day with a slight decrease in nutrients.
-
Here’s what you should do. Pour the juice gently into a narrow necked glass bottle right up to the very top to keep the oxygen out. Screw tight the lid, wrap the bottle with Aluminum foil to cut out the light. Store in fridge.
