What is cold press juicing?

First off, cold press juicing isn’t really about temperature. When a juice is cold pressed, it refers to the way it was obtained - by "squeezing" the fruits and vegetables. This is a bit like how wine used to be made (or sometimes still is made) by pressing the grapes (often with your feet!). This is as natural as can be, and in this example, pounding the grapes squeezes the natural goodness out of the grapes to allow the juice to ferment into wine and be further processed.

So when we press fruit and vegetables, the natural goodness is preserved. The insoluble fiber that acts like a broom for our digestive tract is removed and we get the soluble fiber that nourishes and nourishes our cells. All of the vitamins and minerals that we naturally absorb from eating fruit and vegetables remain intact with juice from a cold press juicer.

Benefits of Cold Pressed Juice

Well, for starters, it's better!

you get more.

More juice, more nutrients, more time to keep in the fridge, more benefit from the fruit and veg.

Cold-pressed juice is better than juice from a traditional juicer because all heat-sensitive nutrients like C vitamins and raw enzymes are preserved. It also preserves all of the valuable nutrients that are "blown away" in a machine that uses rapidly spinning blades (which generate heat) to squeeze the juice from the fruit and veg.
To be honest, most people don't give too much thought to juice.

Juice is juice, right?

Ummm, wrong.

Juices are so different.

From sugary juices that do nothing but spike blood sugar levels with processed sugar, to juices that don't look or taste like fresh juice.

After all, there's a reason people drink juice, right?

Yes, of course. Because it's a healthy drink that's good for you, your body and loved by your cells!

SUMMARY

With cold-pressed juices, you get more bang for your buck and it's also healthier to drink.

Slow Juicer vs Centrifugal Juicer

So you've already learned a little bit about cold pressing, which involves pressing (or squeezing) fruits and vegetables to extract the juice. The auger inside the machine rotates at about 52 rpm (repetitions per minute) - which, ironically, is about the same speed as we chew our food. This is what is called a Slow Juicer.

A traditional way of juicing fruits and vegetables is with a "centrifugal juicer," a juicer with blades that rotate at about 12,000 revolutions per minute (RPM).

After all, there's a reason people drink juice, right?

Yes, of course. Because it's a healthy drink that's good for you, your body and loved by your cells!

This way of juicing is super fast, but unfortunately doesn't provide as much nutritional value as many of the vitamins and minerals are lost in transit!

SUMMARY

Slow juicers squeeze and press at around 50-6 rpm. Fast juicers cut and grind at around 12,000 rpm.

What about the fiber?

Well, we don't always sit down to eat 10 carrots, 1 whole beet, 3 apples, 1 lemon and a thumb-sized piece of ginger - we just don't. But with a cold-press juicer, you can drink the juice in no time, and all the goodness of nature will enter your cells instantly. The juice doesn't need to be digested, you've already done that by removing the insoluble (non-degradable) fiber from it. So it can start, and it does start!!!

SUMMARY

Soluble fiber nourishes us, it is digestible and remains in a cold-pressed juice. Insoluble fiber is what is supposed to detoxify us, it is indigestible and is excreted.

Because the juice is slowly extracted by squeezing and squeezing, it has the added benefit of not only tasting better, but also keeping in glass bottles in the fridge for 3 days.

That's because no oxygen is drawn into the juicers to make the juice, so it naturally lasts longer in the fridge.

This is fantastic because you can make your juice in bulk.

Imagine buying seasonal produce at the local farmer's market, then juicing them ahead of time to make your week!

This way you can get the most out of your products while saving time, money and effort.

Cold-squeezed juice can be made in bulk and stored in the fridge so it's always available. It will enrich your life and give you a new way to absorb many important living ingredients that Mother Nature has to offer.

SUMMARY

No oxidation means fresh cold-pressed juice keeps for up to 72 hours
