I have bough myself a juicer. Would like to know how can I prevent the apple juice to go brown. I have added 2 slices of lemon but it is not really helping. I tend to juice about a litre at a time as the cleaning operation is just too much to just juice a glass at a time. Does anyone have some tips please

Hi,
I've just brought an Angel juicer, I'd like to know as well, although it's pretty easy to clean! :DWhat brand did you get? Rachel

you must be juicing last years apples... not so much juice, makes for a slower process. .

All the info I have had or read onjuicing says you are best to juice fresh each time. Juices lose nutrients on standing. My favourite juice is: 3 carrots, 2 apples, 2 sticks of celery and a 5cm chunk of cucumber. Delicious.

i bought the breville juice fountain plus. very nice/not really hard to clean but time consuming if you need to do it a few times a day. I love the taste of fresh juice

LOL. I am now in a habit of emptying and rinsing mine out immediately. Not only is it done and dusted, but stops carrot or beetroot from staining. Carrot in particular can stain plastics very quickly.
I don't know for sure, but I would have thought that the only way to stop apple juice from browning would be to add chemical preservatives - which to my mind defeats the purpose of a home juicer. Freshly juiced is so delicious, and so worth that 60 second effort to dismantle, empty and rinse.

I'll have to try that recipe jaybee! Yep, have to drink it straight away for the nutrients/enzymes still to be alive, they start dying off within a few hours. That's why I got the Angel... for the living juice, and it gets more out... cheaper in the long run :)The centrifugal types cut rather than crush, they also heat the juice & cook the nutrients!

Just got a Breville juicer using my flybuys and it's great. Juicing 3 green apples 2 oranges 2 kiwifruit stick of celery (with leaves) 4 smaller carrots and peeled piece of ginger. Makes enough for 2 large glasses each morning, one for me and one for my son - delicious as the ginger gives it that extra kick! Waiting for some grapefruit to add too. My sister uses carrots apples ginger and 1 beetroot, but the latter is an acquired taste I think, too earthy for me. What does everyone else juice?

Carrot, apple & ginger is my favourite. Hubby likes celery in his instead of the ginger. I also juice up a heap of ginger & keep it in a bottle in the fridge to add to my tea (white tea, that is).
