FAQs
DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
BEFORE JUICING THEM?
Apart from tasting better when juiced, refrigerated fruits and vegetables
will provide a higher yield of juice than room temperature produce. This
is because the fibre in refrigerated produce is firmer when chilled and
consequently provides more juice when crushed compared to softer or
warmer fruits and vegetables, which may also be in a partial stage of
dehydration (losing water content).
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE FRUITS, VEGETABLES
AND LEAFY GREENS FOR JUICING IN THE BIOCHEF ATLAS
WHOLE SLOW JUICER?
Vegetables
We recommend preparing your vegetables by cutting them into pieces that
will simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance.
Fruits
We recommend preparing your fruits by cutting them into pieces that will
simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance. We recommend
removing skins from most citrus fruits although one third of the skin of
lemons and limes may be left on.
Leafy greens
Roll leaves into parcels and then fold them in half, ensuring that the parcels
will simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance. You may
notice with some leafy greens that they can cause the BioChef Atlas Pro to
clog. This can be remedied by adding a few pieces of carrot or other fibrous
vegetables, which will help to push through the leafy green material. Also,
wet leaves will not pass through the juicer as well as drier leaves, so when
washing produce, pat dry with a kitchen towel before inserting into the
BioChef Atlas Pro. The vertical crushing and squeezing mechanism of the
juicer means that the smaller you cut the pieces before you feed them into
the shoot, the less likely that the fibres will become tangled around the
internal mechanism. For best results cut your ingredient into 3 - 5cm pieces.
WHAT ARE THE BEST APPLES FOR JUICING?
We find that fresh and chilled green apples are the best. Nutritionally, green
apples contain various antioxidants, are a good source of Vitamin C and are
considered to be able to prevent the formation of gall stones in the bladder
and help remedy liver and kidney disorders.
