Taste

The flavour is slightly sweet and savoury with a creamy, thick texture.

Ingredients - celery, tomato and kumara

Ingredients

  • 6 Tomatoes

  • 2 Celery Stalks

  • 1/2 Kumara, peeled

  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (optional)

Preparation

Tomato

  • Remove green stems and leaves

  • Juice whole

Celery

  • Chop stalks into small thumb-size pieces across the stalks (this shortens the long stringy cellulose fibre and stops it from wrapping around the press)

  • You can juice celery leaves, however it will add bitterness, so discard if you don’t like this

Kumara (skin removed)

  • Thinly slice of the outer skin

  • Cut in half lengthways then into slices


Method

Start with juicing the tomatoes. Add one at a time and allow the juicer to finish squeezing them before adding more to the juicer.

Add the kumara slices.

Finish with the celery adding one handful at a time to the juicer.

TIP: When preparing this recipe, it's advisable to begin by juicing the tomatoes. Even with the Auto10 juicer, it's more efficient to juice the tomatoes first and then add the remaining ingredients into the hopper.

Tomatoes, being soft, are easily pressed in a cold press juicer. Juicing other ingredients after the tomatoes facilitates the process by helping to push the soft flesh through the juicer. This approach ensures a smoother and more effective juicing experience with your Auto10 juicer.
