Grapes, Seeds and Parsley in the Juicer?
posted on July 11th, 2007 in F.A.Q'sHow successful is the Oscar Vital Max 900 in processing grapes given that they have quite large, hard seeds? Also Parsley?
The Oscar will handle grapes with seeds without any problem as theoretically, the seeds are ’soaked’ - in grape juice!
The Oscar will process parsley very well indeed and there will be nothing wasted as the precious minerals from this amazing healing herb are extracted.
Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is a bright green, biennial herb, also used as spice. It is very common in Middle Eastern, European, and American cooking. Parsley is used for its leaf in much the same way as coriander (which is also known as Chinese parsley or cilantro), although it has a milder flavor. Two forms of parsley are used as herbs: curly leaf and Italian, or flat leaf (P. neapolitanum). Curly leaf parsley is often used as a garnish. Many people think flat leaf parsley has a stronger flavor, and this opinion is backed by chemical analysis which finds much higher levels of essential oil in the flat-leaved cultivars[citation needed]. One of the compounds of the essential oil is apiol.
Another type of parsley is grown as a root vegetable. This type of parsley produces much thicker roots than types cultivated for their leaves. Although little known in Britain and the United States, root parsley is very common in Central and Eastern European cuisine, where it is used in most soups or stews. Though it looks similar to parsnip it tastes quite different.
The use of curly leaf parsley is often favored, because it cannot be confused with poison hemlock, like flat leaf parsley or chervil.
