Peels

When using a juicer to prepare a beverage, you do not have to remove the peel of a fruit that is normally edible. For example, scrub the peel of an apple and leave it intact; however, remove the peeling of a banana or pineapple.

Storage

After using a juicer to extract fruit and vegetable juices, consume the beverage immediately to avoiding storing it. Juices lose some of their beneficial nutrients when they are improperly stored. If storing juice, add one squeeze of lemon juice to the container to prevent oxidation.
