Green Star Juicer Question

[mypinkbow]

Can you put whole oranges and limes and unpeeled mangos through this juicer? The video said yes but I put a mango unpeeled thru for ice cream and the peel came out in the ice cream? Maybe it was because I had the open blank hominozer (sp?) on it vs one of the other ones. I am feeling a little overwhelmed on how to use this machine!!!!!! Help please

Just bumping this up. What do you guys juice in your green star?

I put (organic) lemons through with their skin but would not put a mango with the skin because of it's relation to the poison ivy family (if you search for "mango" you will find this info in some posts from March and April).

I use my juicer primarily for juicing (WG, various greens, apples, oranges, pinepapple) and occasionally for making fresh fruit sorbet (in goes the frozen fruit, and VOILA out comes yummy dessert) or banana ice cream. I haven't had much success with doing nut butters in this machine so I'll be trying that in the Champion later on today.

You could put it through with the skins if you're making juice, but not for ice cream. Everything you put in will come out if you have the blank screen on, but if you have the juicing screen on, only the juice will come out. So to make mango juice, you'd be okay not to peel it, but to make ice cream , you do need to peel it.

If it is anything like the Champion, when you put the blank plate in everything comes out the same only homogenized, or highly pureed. Nothing is separated. You you have to peel and de-pit and de-seed anything that you don't want to eat.

If you are juicing, you can put some peels through and even some seeds, like apple or berries, but if you are making ice cream, and you are using the blank screen, then anything you put into the juicer will be in your ice cream.

So you would want to remove anything that you don't want to have in your ice cream, like seeds and peels etc.
