Make Your Own Nut Butters
Using Australia's most-affordable
Cold-press Juicer: The Compact Juicer

Nut butters are high in protein, nutrients and unsaturated fats, low in saturated fats, and, of course, no cholesterol or trans fatty acids - they make important allies in decreasing the risk of heart disease.

General Home Made Nut Butter Recipe

1 cup linseeds
1 cup sunflower seeds

Use homogenising cone & homogenising nozzle on 1 or 2
Drain water from almonds and pat dry
Mix all ingredients together

From Wikipedia: This mix of Linseed (Flaxseed), Sunflower and Almond (LSA) provides essential fatty acids, soluble fibre and other nutrients.
The LSA mix is prepared by simply grinding up 3 parts Linseed, 2 parts Sunflower seed, and one part Almond. It has been adopted in many dietary plans, and can be purchased ready-ground from many supermarkets, typically in 500 gram (pound) or 1 kilogram (2 pound) bags, or as a bulk food. It is usually sprinkled on or mixed into other foods.

The LSA mix was originally developed by Drs Frederick (deceased) and Noreen Steed in 1980. Dr Fred Steed promoted the method in his clinic "Nature's Health Centre" at Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia and also while lecturing at various seminars in Australia in the early 1980s. He promoted LSA as a breakfast food, recommending it be mixed with fruit in place of cereals.

Macadamia Nut Butter

Mmmmm ... macadamia nut butter. It has a "sweet", "buttery" taste and texture. You add nothing to it. It's just raw freshly ground macadamias. It can be described as very smooth and having a mellow flavor. It doesn't have any bite or strong flavor. Macadamia nut butter is a great, far more delicious alternative to peanut butter and a good addition to ice cream. It's easily spreadable for sandwiches, snacks/appetisers and is an excellent addition to recipes. It's also a wonderful complement to jams, chocolate and crackers. Macadamia Nut Butter is particularly known for thiamin, protein, flavenoids (may help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease), and omega 3 (thought to reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure).

Handy Tips:

Homogenise a handful of nuts at a time. Soak
hard nuts (i.e. almonds, brazil nuts etc) overnight
and feed slowly. .

Welcome to the World's most affordable
single-gear Cold-Press LIVING Juicer!

What sets the Compact Juicer apart from other juicers?
The new Compact uses minimal bench space - as the name suggests. The low RPM (75-85) of the Compact and the gentle crushing and squeezing process is similar to a Cold-Press method, therefore generating minimal friction heat.

What about the Quality of the Juice?

Your juice can retain up to 60% more nutrients than conventional juicers and the valuable enzymes remain alive. The Live Enzymes aid your digestion and help your body absorb nutrients, boost your energy levels and immune system.

Most juicers require that you drink the juice immediately. Is it the same for the Compact Juicer?

As an added bonus, your juice remains stable, nutritious and fresh for up to 48 hours. The juice may be stored in a sealed container in the fridge.

Is the Compact Juicer just a juicer? Or can it do anything else?

What sets the new Compact multi-purpose juicer/mincer apart from regular juicers is that it can juice just about anything including wheatgrass. It will grind coffee beans, make nut butters, homus, pesto, salsa, dressings, dips, baby food, pasta and frozen desserts. It even has a completely separate mincing attachment that will professionally mince meat, chicken and fish as well as a sausage-making nozzle.

When I'm in my local cafe I'm often disturbed by the noise of the juicing machines they use. What's the volume level of the Compact Juicer?

You won't believe how quiet the machine runs and how easy it is to clean, making it one of the most versatile and best value kitchen appliances available today.
