The best way to keep juice fresh

If stored properly, freshly-pressed juice can keep most of its flavor and nutrition for 48 hours. Here are four tips to maximize freshness.

1 | Use a slow juicer

  • High-speed (centrifugal) juicers add a lot of air and heat to juice, causing rapid oxidation. It will separate, turn brown, and get a foamy "head" like beer if you store it. It's always best to make juice from a centrifugal juicer right when you want to drink it. 
  • Slow juicers (single and dual-auger) operate at low speeds(40-120 rpm). They press juice gently, minimizing oxidation. Juice yield and flavor is higher using a slow speed juicer, and juice made with these juicers is suitable for short-term storage.

2 | Add a little lemon or lime

  • The ascorbic acid in citrus slows down oxidation substantially. Adding a bit of lemon or lime to your juice will keep it fresher longer.
  • Lemon and limes have a distinctive taste, but they actually complement other juices very well.  They go well with apples, root vegetables, summer fruits, and leafy greens. A little lemon can make a boring vegetable juice really pop with more flavor.

3 | Minimize contact between juice and air

  • Immediately after juicing, pour the juice into an airtight bottle.
  • Narrower bottles are better than wider bottles, as there is a smaller contact area with air.
  • Even better, store the juice in a vacuum container like this one.
  • Make sure to fill up the juice as close to the top as possible, to minize air contact.

4 | Store the juice in the fridge

  • No matter what container you use, make sure to put the juice in the fridge as soon as possible.
