Pomegranate juice

deseed promegranate!

easiest method would be to break them (the fruit) open, and use the back of a ladle and knock these seeds off!

original pomegranate juice.

I've never bought any commercial ones so i won't know how they taste like.

pomegranates are too dear here.

i actually transported them all the way from peninsular.

juicing without water.

so the juice is really 'thick' and concentrated.

undiluted remember, if you compare it to the old fashioned centrifugal juicer.

i think almost every household has a centrifugal juicer.

it gives me heartache when i juice using a centrifugal juicer because the pulp is still so wet!

when this machine arrived, my neighbor saw the new technology of this slow juicer and the following day, she went to buy 7smiles from cosway, RM999.

there are a few range available in the market.

this is the ferrari. aiseh.

what do you look for in a slow juicer?

1. after sales service

2. can it produce very dry pulp, hence giving more juice.

3. the input - this is a wide mouth so u save time whereby u don't need to cut everything into small tiny bit.

4. we are looking at juicing more greens (we started off with green smoothies) and this machine can juice leafy/fibrous greens equally well as a horizontal juicer.

thankfully we didn't get Hurom. or Omega.

never considered Primada, sorry.

kuvings slow juicer

Kuvings wide mouth juicer

this is Gabby.

we have no regrets getting this.

their service is exceptional!

they carry a 10-year warranty on the motor, and other parts for a year.

i bought it last Nov.

and just this weekend, i broke the compression silicon. i emailed them on sunday night,

they replied me on monday morning.

and they will mail me the part soon.

isn't that fantastic??

anyway,

between juice and smoothies.

honestly, i prefer to MAKE smoothies.

why?

because they are so much easier to prepare and much easier to clean up!

just wash the thermomix bowl. that is all.

thermomix can do the washing for me.

as for this juicer, i need to prepare lots of veg and fruits before i juice (so that i don't need to always juice).

the preparation can get messy because i need numerous bowls/pails to soak few types of vegetable and fruit. then i need to cut them.

and finally juice them.

finally, wash up!

i store the juice in glass container, fill the juice to the top of the bottle and seal tight.

we drink sparingly and finish them in 3 days time. not sooner ;)

i was SOOOO glad last night when kayjay asked me for smoothies/juice when we were waiting for our Roast Chicken (at home).

;)

he can now drink both smoothies/juices.

he is also trying to differentiate between juice and smoothie.

what to do with the leftover juice pulp?

1. compost

2. dehydrate

3. add into smoothies? yuck i wouldnt do that. too much fibres and the pulp are not tasty anymore. they are without juice, no?

4. add into muffins…maybe i would. haven't try. but i don't think i am desperate for the fibre.

hence, i usually do number 1 and 2 :)
