How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose carrots that have a deep orange color, bright, with a smooth skin, not rough or have any tiny bumps on the surface.
- Good carrots are of medium size, elongated shape, feel firm when held, and the green top is still fresh and tightly attached to the body, not separated or broken off.
- Avoid choosing carrots with a damaged green top, slimy body, brown spots, or that feel soft and mushy, as these indicate that the carrots have been stored for too long and are no longer edible.
- Additionally, avoid selecting overly large carrots, as these are older carrots that are fibrous and have very few nutrients.

How to choose fresh beetroot

- Generally, beetroots with a round bottom taste sweeter than those with a flat bottom. Additionally, smaller beetroots will have thinner skin than larger ones.

Ingredients for Spinach Pineapple Juice Serves 2
Spinach 300 gr Pineapple 1/2 fruit (thơm) Lemon 1 fruit Sugar 500 gr Filtered water 200 ml
How to Select Fresh Pineapples
- When selecting pineapples, first observe the color. Typically, fruits that are pleasantly sweet will have a very eye-catching yellow color, with some green mixed in, and when pressed, they should feel moderately soft.
- Most fruits that are slightly round and short tend to have more flesh compared to long-shaped fruits. Additionally, fruits with larger eyes are naturally ripe and not artificially ripened, and when peeled, they don’t lose too much flesh.
- Besides that, you can also rely on the aroma to choose. Do not select fruits with a strong smell as they spoil quickly; if the fruit does not emit any fragrance, it is not yet ripe enough.
- Avoid purchasing fruits that feel dented when touched or have uneven or overly green colors, which means they are not ripe yet; conversely, if they are very dark brown, they are overripe, fermenting, and about to spoil.

Tips for cleaning and maintaining the juicer
- To keep the juicer clean from stains, it is best to wash it immediately after use because the pulp from vegetables, when dried, will be very difficult to clean.
- Another note is that for the body of the machine, you should only use a clean damp cloth to wipe it; do not soak or wash it directly with water as that is where the motor operates.
- If you need to use the juicer multiple times in one day, you only need to wash it thoroughly at the last use; for the other times, a quick rinse with water is sufficient.
- In addition, to save time on cleaning the pulp quickly, you can line a plastic bag in the pulp container before use.
