About Fresh juice

Fresh juice is a nutrient-rich beverage prepared by extracting the liquid from fruits, vegetables, or a combination of both. Its origins date back centuries, with variations found in many global cuisines, from Mediterranean citrus juices to tropical blends in Southeast Asia. Fresh juice is a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, depending on the ingredients. Commonly, it provides vitamin C, potassium, and hydration from water content, while some vegetable juices may supply vitamin A, folate, and dietary minerals. Unprocessed fresh juice retains natural sugars and phytonutrients, though fiber is often reduced during extraction. It’s a versatile addition to any diet when consumed in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Boosts immune function due to high levels of vitamin C (e.g., in orange or lemon juice).
• Supports heart health with potassium content, which helps regulate blood pressure (e.g., in tomato or carrot juice).
• Promotes skin health and vision because of beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A (e.g., in carrot or mango juice).

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains none typically unless specific fruits/vegetables are allergens

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free

Not suitable for: Low-sugar diets (for juices high in natural sugars), low-potassium diets (for potassium-rich juices)

Selection and Storage

Fresh juice should be refrigerated immediately and consumed within 24-48 hours to retain nutrients. Use airtight containers to prevent oxidation.

Common Questions About Fresh juice Nutrition

Does fresh juice have a lot of vitamins?

Fresh juice, depending on the fruit or vegetable used, is typically rich in vitamins like Vitamin C and Vitamin A. For example, orange juice provides over 100% of the daily recommended Vitamin C in a single 8-ounce serving but may lack fiber compared to whole fruits.

Is fresh juice compatible with a vegan diet?

Fresh juice is entirely plant-based and therefore suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. Ensure no animal-derived additives or sweeteners are added to maintain its vegan-friendly status.

What are the health benefits of drinking fresh juice?

Fresh juice can deliver essential nutrients and hydration. For example, carrot juice is high in beta-carotene, beneficial for eye health, while cranberry juice can support urinary tract health. However, it may be high in natural sugars, so moderation is advised for blood sugar management.

How much fresh juice should I drink per day?

It’s recommended to limit fresh juice intake to 4-8 ounces per day to avoid excessive sugar. Pair this with whole fruits to ensure fiber intake and a balanced diet.

Is fresh juice better than store-bought juice?

Fresh juice usually contains no added sugars, preservatives, or artificial flavors, unlike many store-bought options. However, fresh juice lacks fiber found in whole fruits, and store-bought juice may be fortified with additional nutrients like calcium or Vitamin D.
