Pomegranate juice is used in both cooking and medicine. Meat is marinated in it, drinks are made from it, used in the treatment of various diseases. It is known that freshly squeezed juice is most useful. Pomegranate juice can be prepared in several ways.
Instructions
Step 1
The quickest way to get pomegranate juice from fresh fruit is using a regular citrus press. Just cut the pomegranate into two halves, squeeze out the juice by scrolling each of them around the axis of the press. The disadvantage of this method is that the pomegranate seeds are scattered to the sides, polluting the space, and very little juice is obtained.
Step 2
You can squeeze out juice with an ordinary electric juicer at low speeds, but be prepared for the fact that at the exit you will have a large amount of unusable cake and quite a bit of juice.
Step 3
It is best to squeeze juice from pomegranates using a technology that has long been used in the Middle Eastern countries. Choose a ripe, juicy and firm fruit. Press it down to the table surface and start rolling, trying to crush the berries inside the fruit. If you are not particularly strong, you can resort to using a kitchen board. It will be easier for you to press on a large board than on a small ball.
Step 4
When the pomegranate becomes soft and pliable, drill a hole 3-5 mm wide in its skin, squeeze the juice into a glass. With this method, you will get the maximum amount of juice that this fruit can produce. Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice should be used right away. The vitamins contained in it decompose in the air, and after a couple of hours the juice extracted with such efforts will be no different from the pomegranate drink from the nearest store.
