Cookworks Signature Whole Fruit Juicer

Advantages: Cheap and efficient
Disadvantages: Quite large and noisy

...I bought this at Argos for £25. This being my second juicer after returning the Argos XB433 (do not buy!). For £25 it is a great juicer. With only a 600 Watt motor it is not as fast as the other more expensive models, but definitely copes well with all types of fruit and vegetables. The rotating mesh is a good size so it can extract as much juice as possible. The pulp is quite dry and collected nicely in the side pulp collector. It does leak though very slightly on the fastest setting. This is due to the vibration and high air pressure created by the rotating mesh which sucks in air from the side pulp collector and blows it out of the juice dispenser. On the faster setting using oranges, the juice does splash slightly coming out. From one orange I managed to extract just under 200ml. To maximise the juice extraction you have...

Juicy fruits

Advantages: juices "whole fruit and veg", easy to clean, quick and quiet
Disadvantages: is perhaps a bit pricey

...JuiceMachine Pro ? Whole fruit Juicer by Moulinex -------------------------------------------------------------------- I like fruit juice very much so does my resident geek. I can?t drink a lot because of my diabetes and he frequently forgets about it consequently I must have thrown away orchards worth?s of half drunk cartons of Tropicana over the years. Neither of us like bought smoothies either. Bananas belong either in a banana split or in your hand not in a smoothie. For me they just spoil the whole taste. I stopped trying them quite some time back and got myself a decent juicer. This one takes the hard work out of juicing: not that it?s something to sweat over but I am essentially a fairly lazy creature and I?m also messy round the kitchen? I use all my tidiness up at work! This juicers going to cost you around £50 so I...

Review of Moulinex JU500815 Whole Fruit

excellent fruit juicer

Advantages: excellent juice
Disadvantages: none

...Details: 600 watts. 1 litre juice container. 2 speed settings. Stainless steel filter. 2 litre pulp container. Easy clean. Safety locker. Dishwasher safe. Non slip feet. have had it four weeks now and used it every day and it seems to be coping fineand is quite quick. It is however very noisy (louder than a vaccuum cleaner!) and juice sometimes escpaes the pulp collector - I think caused by the vibration. The juice collector contains 1000ml -enough to collect juice for one person. Performs very well for about a third of the price of top models, easy to assemble, powerful motor and easy to clean. can't beat your own fresh fruit juices. Good value juicer, 1st one we've owned but easy to use and good results. Cleaning all the bits is the only chore, but then you can't have everything. I recommend to other buyers...

  The Fruit Of The Dragon

Advantages: Healthy, Colourful, Different
Disadvantages: Bland, Watery, Not Cheap Cheap

...My mum bought this item home from Tesco today. She was attracted by the beautiful appearance of the fruit. *~*~*The Fruit*~*~* The fruit itself is a bright pink colour with green scales. It definitely stands out from the other edibles on the shelf. It is an oval sort of shape and about 4/5 inches tall. There are 3 types of Dragon Fruit and they all have very technical names. The Hylocereus undatus, which is what my mum bought, has pink skin and white flesh, the Hylocereus polyrhizus, which has pink skin and red flesh and the Selenicereus megalanthus, which has yellow skin and white flesh. I must stress that I haven't sampled the latter two varieties and therefore this review is solely on the Hylocereus undatus. The inside of the fruit has white flesh as stated above, this flesh is very soft (a bit like a kiwi fruit in appearance...

Review of Dragon Fruit

Shoot the fruit.

Advantages: Handy sized bottle, looks good!!
Disadvantages: Not very tasty at all.

...I came across these orange and peach fruit shoots in my local shop, two packs of four bottles for £2.09, not bad hey!! They come in these flavours as far as I know ,Orange, Orange and peach and Blackcurrant and apple. The reason I was getting these is that my step daughter was off to kentwell hall and they said if it was hot to pack the children up with plenty of drink for the day so she took four drinks with her. Packaging The little Orange bottles came in a pack of four with a cardboard sleeve holding them together. The bottle has a clear lid on the top and a white stopper in the top with two holes in to drink out of once you have pulled it up. The actual lid that screws onto the bottle is blue. The label has Robinsons fruit shoot peach and orange written on the front in white with green edging, there are also slices...

Yummy organic cereal

Advantages: Organic, tastes good
Disadvantages: Price

...I'm quite fussy about the cereal that I eat and have never really gone for the usual cornflakes etc. I recently came across this Whole Earth Red Fruit Organic Crunch in my local Tesco and the description of the cereal seemed to tick all my boxes so I gave it a try. WHO ARE WHOLE EARTH? Whole Earth was started by Craig and Gregory Sams in 1967, when they opened a restaurant in London. They have since expanded rapidly and promote the use of organic and natural foods. They make a range of cereals, drinks, spreads and everyday items like baked beans and ketchup. They are also a carbon neutral company. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The cereal seems to vary in price between £1.60 and £2 in supermarkets. The other day I paid £1.61 in Asda but in my normal Tesco shop it is over £1.90. The cereal is quite specialised and therefore...

Review of Whole Earth Organic Red Fruit Crunch

I'm nuts about whole nut!

Advantages: The taste is divine!!
Disadvantages: Not suitable for those allergic to nuts

...When it comes to Cadbury's Dairy Milk I think it shouldn't be messed with although there are a few occasions where I have thought that the combination of the chocolate and whatever they decide to throw into it, has really worked. For instance the one that had the biscuit in it and the one with the Crunchie bits in it. There were a few others but over all I just don't think the chocolate tastes as nice and a lot of their ideas just seem better on paper. This bar is one that I think betters all the rest. It is a very basic idea but for me it is the best because I absolutely love any kind of nut and chocolate combination although I do feel they ruin it again by adding fruit to it and coming up with the Fruit and Nut bar. What is it? It's of course the best chocolate in the world combined with big, fat hazelnuts all packaged in...

Where's the Fruit?

Advantages: No preparaion needed
Disadvantages: Pretty tasteless, bottles too large, too many additives, not enough fruit

...I am constantly on a mission to lose weight. Not a lot, about 14lbs would do. Unfortunately, as the years pass by my waistline continues to thicken and I have now reached the miserable stage where I have a wardrobe full of clothes that won't fit me anymore!! The trouble is, I love my food just too much! Wandering around my local Tesco a couple of weeks ago, I was spotted a 'special offer' on some Slim Fast Real Fruit Smoothies. Tesco were claiming that they normally retail for £1.29 each but they were on offer of three for two. Not one to let a bargain pass me by, I swiftly placed three of them in my trolley. I wasn't able to read the (vast) list of ingredients before I bought them, as unfortunately, I didn't have my glasses with me at the time. No matter, I was sure that they would be fine and contain no nasty additives! I...

Fruit

Advantages: ------
Disadvantages: --------

...Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles are Nestle's eldest product having being launched in 1881. I don't know about then, but they still have a great taste today and are one of my favourite sweets. You buy them in long tubes for around 40p depending on the shop. They have a very bright and colourful packaging, which stands out from all the other sweets. The Rowntrees logo is on the front with the 'Fruit Pastilles' logo in bold, round yellow letters. The packaging consists of paper on the outside with the design and the inner part is foil. The paper holds together the foil and stops it from opening whilst the foil itself insulates the sweets. You open one end of the packet by undoing the foil. There are several flavour sweets in each pack including Orange, Lemon, Lime, Blackcurrant and Strawberry. They all taste very nice and authentic of their...

Review of Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles

Everyone's a Fruit and Nut case

Advantages: Lovely taste
Disadvantages: Not something I could eat a lot of

...Now I wouldn't exactly say that I am the world's biggest Fruit and Nut chocolate fan but every now and then I don't mind a small bar of this chocolate and Dairy Milk's Fruit & Nut is always what I reach for. When I buy these bars I usually buy them in packs of four, as my mum and dad quite like this chocolate too and purchasing four bars in a pack is much cheaper. Each of the four bars contained within these packs weighs 39g and is individually wrapped in Dairy Milk's iconic purple wrapping, this time with a red band to signify that the bar is fruit & nut. The nutritional information for the bars is contained on the outside wrapping of the four pack and on the individual wrappers of each bar. The nutritional values are as follows: Per Bar 190 calories 3.5g protein 21.9g carbohydrates 21.6g (of which sugars) 10.2g fat 5.7g...
