Does the Green Star 2000 juice apples?
Posted by: Spitfire ()

I'm thinking about buying a new juicer so I can store juice throughout the day. My Breville Compact juicer works well but it tastes awful after about an hour. I would like to juice in the morning and have a juice while I'm at work in the afternoon and the Green Star 2000 looks like it will do this. Does anyone know if I can juice apples with this juicer? Some websites say I need to buy a separate fruit attachment, while others say I can juice fruit in the machine as is. Do I have to stop juicing my greens and add some attachment to make my juice? Thanks in advnace.

That awful Taste is Oxidation. Apples are notorious for that.
No juicer will do Apples very well. You're better off to
eat Apples because they have a good type of fiber. Buy
Organic, or peel them.......WY

as long as you use crisp juicy apples it does fine ...but dont overload by trying to go too fast take your time by putting approx. 1/4 of the apple(sliced) in at a time.

i would say that its pretty much an arbritrary thing regarding how it tastes to you. perhaps you could avoid the oxidation by juicing fresh and drinking.

I juice apples with my green star every day. I only use the cripest types and I keep them in the fridge until I am ready to use them. It is important to take out the seeds as they have a toxic property to my knowledge

Thanks for the replies everybody! You're all awesome. I e-mailed TriBest this question and they didn't reply. I'll probably still buy the juicer because I like the idea of being able to take a juice with me for later in the day. Thanks again.

the answer is yes
but not too many cuz they get mushy then just end up on the top

just a few pieces then i use celery and greens
works

but like the others have said
the crispy ones work best

green star loves soft greens
and it has a penchant for hard fruits

don't ask me why
its just the way the gears roll
