🔪 How to juice cabbage

You can make fresh cabbage juice two ways, using a large blender or a juicer. See how you can make cabbage juice, either way, followed by our suggested recipe.

How to make cabbage juice with a juicer?

This is the easiest way to make cabbage juice and cruciferous juice vegetables.

You need to wash your red cabbage or green cabbage and coarsely chop the recipe's quantity. Then push the chopped cabbage and other fruits or vegetables and immediately enjoy the fresh juice.

Get an excellent Cold-Pressed juicer; it will be one of the best investments you have made in the year! Trust me! Make sure you check the juicer's instructions before starting, as many juicers have different working mechanisms.

How to make cabbage juice without a juicer?

To make cabbage juice with a blender, you need to put fresh cabbage leaves into a blender and add water using the same proportion and weight.

Blend the cabbage for 40-60 seconds using a high-speed blender, and then strain the puree using a fine mesh strainer. You may need to help yourself with a spoon to pass the raw cabbage juice faster.

If you are using a low-speed blender, you may need to blend first at low speed for 30 seconds and then at high speed for 30-60 seconds, depending on the blender.

Note: if you juice cabbage and other fruits and vegetables, as we suggest in this recipe, apply the same proportions rule. Then you can use the puree for compost.

🥬 How to make cabbage juice

Wash

Separate the cabbage leaves and wash them thoroughly, removing any dirt. Wash the rest of the ingredients as well. Then coarsely chop the cabbage leaves.

Chop

Peel the clementine and coarsely chop carrots and apples. Separate the apple core. We don't peel the fruits and vegetables when juicing them. That saves time, and peeling is entirely unnecessary if you have washed your produce well.

Juice

Pass all the chopped ingredients through the shut, combining all the elements. I always find that it is better to mix all textures to facilitate the juicing process.

🫙 Storing

This Juice, fresh and homemade, thus has no preservatives, making it go not nice quicker than any store-bought juice.

The fruits and vegetables high in Vitamin C, one of the most important antioxidants we can get, start losing their nutritional bioavailability the moment it's juiced.

Yes, you can store juices but make sure you use tightly sealed mason jars.

The leftover from this cabbage juice recipe can last up to one week if properly refrigerated.

Eating cabbage has excellent benefits; these fantastic cruciferous vegetables have potent properties, including balancing hormones, antiinflammation, gut health, body detoxification, and help in healing peptic ulcers.
