2 grapefruits
1 turmeric piece (5cm)
Juicing Time: 2 mins
Juice Qty: 850 ml

Grapefruit (30 sec)
Remove the outer skin keeping as much white pith as possible

Method
We want to get the maximum nutrients from the turmeric so start by putting the thin slices into the juicer.
Next juice the apples whole.
Finish with the grapefruit quarters to push all the ingredients and flavour through.
Tip: Make sure you keep the white pith on as the grapefruit pectin can lower cholesterol. Grapefruit pectin also strengthens blood vessels and capillaries.
