How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh guava
- Choose guava that has a balanced shape, round fruit, not misshapen, and feels firm in hand. A good guava usually has a bumpy, uneven skin with patches.
- Choose guava that is light green with a slight yellow tint, with green leaves; this indicates that the guava will be sweeter.
- Gently press your finger on the surface of the guava skin; if it feels crisp and firm, then the guava will be fresher and tastier than soft, wilted ones.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright orange in color, of moderate size, not too big or too small, and feel firm when held.
- Preferably select carrots with green, fresh tops firmly attached to the root. These are newly harvested carrots that will have a tastier flavor.
- Avoid buying carrots that feel slightly soft when pressed, are wilted, or have blemishes on the skin.

Ingredients for Pear and Celery Juice Serves 2

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pears
- Choose fruits that are round, evenly shaped, with relatively smooth skin, few blemishes, and light color.
- Prefer fruits with a deep cavity at the bottom, small and smooth size. Those are pears that have more juice and sweetness.
- Avoid choosing pears with unusual shapes, dents, skin with many black spots, bruises, and slightly dark color. Such fruits usually have less juice and are about to spoil.
How to choose fresh celery
- Choose thick, round celery stalks that are bright green and have the characteristic aroma of celery when smelled.
- Prefer celery with evenly sized large leaves, not bruised, with thick stalks and leaves.
- Avoid celery with white stems, unusually swollen stems, dark-colored stems, or uneven sizes of the stalks.

Prepare the ingredients
Wash celery, pear, and jicama thoroughly.
Remove the leaves from the celery and only keep the stalks below, cutting them into pieces about 2 – 3 finger joints long. Then soak the celery in cold water for about 5 – 10 minutes, then take it out and let it drain.
Peel the pear, remove the seeds, and cut it into small pieces. To prevent the pear from turning brown, soak it in saltwater for about 3 – 5 minutes after cutting, then take it out and let it drain.
Peel the jicama and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Jicama
- You should choose jicama that are small to medium in size, with smooth skin, light brown or ivory color, and small stems.
- Buy jicama that has weight corresponding to its size, do not choose large jicama that feels light when lifted; such jicama will be hollow, spongy, and not tasty.
