Cold-pressed juice is more popular than ever!
You’ve probably seen it on social media, in health magazines, or heard us shouting about our fresh juice delivery! But what exactly is cold-pressed juice? What’s so special about it? Why is it cold?
We’ll answer all your burning questions (and then some), so read on to get the squeeze on what is cold-pressed juice.
What does ‘cold-pressed’ mean?
Cold-pressed refers to how the juice is made.
A hydraulic press squishes the fruit into juice without generating heat. This heat-free process helps the juice retain higher amounts of vitamins because some nutrients like Vitamin C and Theramine are vulnerable to heat degradation. As such, cold-pressed juice is unpasteurised and, theoretically, better for you than freshly squeezed or blended juices.
Cold-pressed juices typically have a single ingredient – fruit – so they aren’t padded with extra sugars or artificial sweeteners. Also, when juice is squeezed from several fruits or vegetables, it’s likely to have a wider array of nutrients per ounce than a single piece of fruit.
What is cold-pressed juice and is it good for you?
The short answer – yes.
The long answer? Since cold-pressed juice is packed with vitamins and nutrients, it’s a great way to get that daily dose of ‘goodness.’ And, since juices often pack in more than one kind of fruit, it’s like you’re drinking the nutrients of a fruit salad!
Like most things in life, juice is best enjoyed in moderation, as it’s still high in fruit sugars without the extra fibre.
What is cold-pressed juice vs slow-juicing?
There aren’t any! Both use the same process of smashing fruit between two metal plates and don’t use heat to treat the final product.
Whereas you can generally find cold-pressed juices in your supermarket or our milkround, ‘slow’ juices are typically homemade.
It’s a fantastic way of saving money while getting optimal juice, but if you’d rather save the kitchen counter space, we can deliver cold-pressed juices right to your door. But if you’ve got excess fruit and are wondering what to do with it, save it from the bin and give it a squeeze – the slow part might become evident. What’s five minutes really when it comes to fighting food waste?
