What is Cold Pressed Juice?
At Pure Green we have 13 different kinds of cold pressed juice (16 ounces) and six different cold pressed juice shots (2 ounces). But what exactly is cold pressed juice and how is it both different (and better!) than other forms of juicing? In this newsletter, I want to go over the basics of cold pressed juice.
Cold-pressed juice is made using a hydraulic press that applies thousands of pounds of pressure to extract the maximum amount of liquid from fresh fruits and vegetables. The cold-press method does not produce heat, thereby preserving more of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes in the juice. This method results in a more nutrient-dense, flavorful, and longer-lasting juice. Cold-pressed juices are often considered superior in terms of their nutritional value and taste, making them a popular choice for health enthusiasts looking for the highest quality juice.
The Cold Pressed Juicing Method
A cold-press juicer or slow juicer extracts the raw juice in a very different way. A hydraulic press essentially uses thousands of pounds of pressure to squeeze raw, cold-pressed juice from the fresh produce. This method eliminates the problems of heat and oxidation and helps retain all the delicious and nutritious elements found within the raw produce.
What you end up with is a fresh, delicious, healthy juice that has retained 100% of the enzymes, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in the fresh produce. It makes an easy nutritious choice or a great on-the-go option.
What Makes Cold Pressed Juice Superior?
The cold-pressed method results in a superior juice. None of the goodies from the original product are lost during the process and you end up with a refreshing drink chock full of all the best parts of the vegetables and fruits. In fact, our cold press juice actually contains 3 to 5 pounds of non-GMO fruits and veggies in every bottle! That’s why it tastes oh so delicious!
Pure Green cold pressed juice has a 45-day shelf life due to our pressure process, in which our cold pressed juice is preserved using High Pressure Processing (HPP). Once the juice is opened, it should be consumed that day.
Who Makes the Juice?
Purchasing the equipment needed to make cold pressed juice gets expensive, and the equipment itself takes up a lot of room. Therefore, in order to save money and utilize a smaller storefront, our juices are made offsite and then shipped right to us.
Next week we will dive into some of the health benefits of cold pressed juices.
Construction Updates
Construction is coming along well. So far, we look to be on schedule. In two-three weeks I should be able to confirm our opening date which is slated for early June.
