The flavour is strong, bold and bitey. It has a bitter sweetness that tastes somehow medicinal. These two fruits are in season during spring so now is a great time to give this recipe a go!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pineapple

  • 2 grapefruits

Juicing Time: 4 mins
Juice Qty: 850ml

Preparation

Pineapple

  • Slice off the outer skin

  • Cut into long thin strips to fit down the chute

  • Chop the core into small chunks

Grapefruit

  • Remove the outer skin keeping as much white pith as possible

  • Cut into halves or quarters to fit into the wide chute

Method

Start with the pineapple slices. Add them one at a time to your kuvings juicer and let the press rotate several times per piece as pineapple is very fibrous.

Next add the chopped up pineapple core to your juicer.

Finish with the grapefruit quarters, adding them one by one. Again let the juice press rotate several time in between each piece.

Health Benefits

Pineapple’s healing compounds act as brushing mechanisms that help clean up and drive out sticky mucus & debris that can build up inside the body during winter.

Pineapple juice has vitamin C like its orange cousin, but it also has bromelain, which helps suppress coughs and loosens the mucus that often accompanies colds.

Grapefruit juice is good for those suffering from high blood pressure, sluggish liver, gallstones, arthritis, obesity, ailments of the respiratory tract and the digestive system.

Grapefruit and pineapple are both very effective artery “scrubbers” that prevent atherosclerosis by breaking down plaque in the arteries. Galacturonic acid (found only in grapefruit) has the ability to break up and dislodge fatty plaque buildup in the arteries and remove it completely from the body.

Tip:  Externally, fresh grapefruit is a natural antiseptic and can be used to help disinfect and heal wounds and abrasions.
