Is raw cold-pressed juice healthy?

When you cold-press your juice, it retains more of the vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants than regular juice. This makes it a healthier alternative to traditional juicing. Cold-pressed juice is never exposed to heat during its juicing process, which is important for producing more fruit per serving.

Is cold-pressed juice better than normal juice?

Since cold-pressed juices contain more of those nutrients, due to the lack of heat and oxidization, they are more beneficial. Cold-pressed juices improve your overall health by providing you with the nutrients that your body requires to operate at optimal levels.

What does cold-pressed with HPP mean?

The term stands for High-Pressure Processing, or a non-thermal pasteurization process. Basically HPP preserves and sterilizes food and juice by using a cold pasteurization technique. The high pressure inactivates certain microorganisms, bacteria and enzymes in the juice, which expands the shelf life.

Why HPP juice is bad?

Heat pasteurization is designed to kill bacteria and extend the shelf life of the product by exposing juice to high heat. This negatively alters the fruit and vegetable enzymes, vitamins and minerals—meaning juice processed this way is less fresh and less nutritious.

Is cold pressed oil better?

From a health perspective, cold pressed oil is the clear winner. Hot pressed oils undergo oxidisation, which can cause complications like cancer and inflammation. Moreover, a lot of healthy compounds are lost from the oils while hot pressing, whereas in cold pressing, all beneficial compounds are retained.

Why is cold pressed juice the best?

Cold Pressing destroys bacteria on a fundamental level, conserves the taste and quality that heat and chemical pasteurization destroy. You don’t need to worry about bacteria, and your juice maintains freshness, taste, and quality. Cold pressing gives the juicer super powers.

Is HPP the same as cold pressed?

The first is through a high-pressure process (HPP). This is when you use high pressure to reduce microbial content in the juice, so it can travel and last longer on the shelves. The second is cold pressing. This large amount of pressure is a form of pasteurization that doesn’t use heat.

Can you pasteurize cold-pressed juice?

When juice is pasteurized, the same high temperature that kills bacteria also helps to prolong the shelf life. On the other hand, because no heat or oxygen is used in the cold-pressing process, nutrients do not get lost as they typically would during pasteurization.

What is the difference between a cold press juicer and a slow juicer?

Slow Juicers are the same as Cold Press Juicers but refers to juicing at low RPM which retains nutrients (as opposed to juicing at high RPM which creates heat and destroys nutrients).

What is the difference between HPP and cold-pressured juice?

Just because juice has gone through HPP does not mean it has been cold-pressed. In fact, many HPP “juices” contain purees, smoothies, powders, or other ingredients which are not cold-pressed at all. Adding to this confusion is the new term “Cold-Pressured.”

What is the use of HPP in the juice industry?

HPP makes cold-pressed juice more accessible. Prior to the use of HPP in the juice industry, it was a mission to find cold pressed juice in most parts of the country, excluding the coastal cities. You had to either hunt down a specialty shop, or be satisfied with juice in the grocery store that had been heat pasteurized.

What is a true cold press juicer?

True cold-press is a two step process: grind the produce into a pulp, and then press the pulp in a filter bag to extract the juice. A real press will create clean, naturally filtered juice that has a much longer shelf life than juice made on other types of juicers.

Are Your Raw cold-pressed juices fresh?

So YES, our raw cold-pressed juices are fresh even though they are frozen. We only use fruits and vegetables. We juice the produce in small batches, bottle it immediately, flash freeze it, and ship it frozen. THE RAW COLD-PRESSED JUICES YOU RECEIVE, ONCE THAWED, ARE AS GOOD AS IF THEY WERE MADE A FEW MINUTES AGO.
