FAQ's
Freshly made juice typically retains more vitamins, enzymes, and phytonutrients compared to store-bought juice, which is often pasteurized (heat-treated) to extend shelf life. Once juiced, fruits and vegetables start oxidizing. So, the longer juice sits the greater the nutrient loss—ideally fresh juice should be consumed immediately but recommended no later than within 24–48 hours if refrigerated.
Juicing extracts liquid from fruits/veggies, leaving out the fiber. Blending mixes the whole fruit/veggie, including fiber, into a smoothie.
There are two main types:
- Centrifugal juicers (faster, cheaper, noisier)
- Masticating juicers (slower, quieter, more juice yield and better for leafy greens)
Yes, but you'll need to strain the juice through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve.
Disassemble it right after use and rinse all parts. Use a brush to scrub mesh filters. Some parts may be dishwasher safe (check the manual).
Most fruits and vegetables can be juiced, including apples, carrots, oranges, beets, celery, spinach, kale, and cucumber.
- Yes: Citrus, pineapples, and anything with thick or bitter skin.
- No: Apples, carrots, cucumbers (unless waxed or pesticide-heavy).
Yes! They’re packed with nutrients. Masticating juicers work better for greens like spinach, kale, parsley and wheatgrass.
It’s ideal, especially for items on the “Dirty Dozen” list, but washing conventional produce thoroughly is still beneficial.
Fresh juice is best consumed immediately but can be stored for up to 24–72 hours in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Yes, freeze in small portions (ice cube trays or mason jars with space for expansion). Thaw in the fridge before consuming.
Yes, but moderation is key. Juice lacks fiber and can be high in sugar, so balance with vegetables and drink as part of a healthy diet.
Juicing alone isn’t a sustainable weight loss plan or scientifically proven detox. Use it to boost your nutrient intake instead.
It could be from over-juicing bitter greens (like kale stems) or including citrus peels. Try adding sweeter fruits like apples or pineapple.
Use it in compost, muffins, veggie broth, or dog treats. Or dehydrate it for crackers.
