Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hey everyone... Very new to the lifestyle... For christmas I got a great omega juicer and having a great time with it... Question, what is the shelf life of your juices. I have a problem juicing every day, can I juice a couple of days worth and keep it in the frig? will i still get the same benefits? any help would be great, thanks!!! Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 since the juice is unpasturized it spoils very quickly not to mention the loss of nutrients due to oxidation there is a cabbage juice therapy for ulcers that says you need to drink the juice within a minute of extraction for it to work right I highly recommend juicing for each use Sometimes I'll fill a thermos to the top and take it with me, but still drink it within hours On Jan 7, 2005, at 2:18 PM, Kimberly wrote: > > > > Hey everyone... > > Very new to the lifestyle...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 When I juice I do enough for 2 servings. I put my second serving in a glass mason jar and use a vacuum sealer & take it to work w/me. I don't put it in the fridge unless it is summer. It must get all of the air out as the juice does not turn dark at all as it use to do when I just put a lid on it & put in fridge. _____ John de la Garza [john] Friday, January 07, 2005 2:59 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] juicing.... since the juice is unpasturized it spoils very quickly not to mention the loss of nutrients due to oxidation there is a cabbage juice therapy for ulcers that says you need to drink the juice within a minute of extraction for it to work right I highly recommend juicing for each use Sometimes I'll fill a thermos to the top and take it with me, but still drink it within hours On Jan 7, 2005, at 2:18 PM, Kimberly wrote: > > > > Hey everyone... > > Very new to the lifestyle...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 you only save it for hours though right? I think this person was asking about saving it for days at a time I think sealing it in a vacum for a few hours is fine On Jan 7, 2005, at 3:17 PM, Bob & Breezi wrote: > > When I juice I do enough for 2 servings.

At 22 " -23 " of mercury vacuum the liquid juice is de-gassed, meaning that dissolves gasses such as oxygen are drawn out of solution. You can see the gasses bubbling out. I have made carrot juice like this and kept it refrigerated for up to ten days with no noticeable loss of quality. I do immerse the jars in ice water immediately after vacuum sealing them and my fridge is kept close to the freezing point. Also I use a green power juicer which is supposed to do things with magnets and infrared energy that is supposed make the juice keep better.
