The newest fad in the health space is now here. You might be hearing a lot already about ‘Cold pressed juices’ and how amazing it is for you, but before we get into health benefits of such juices, lets try and understand what exactly they are!
Technically, Cold press juices are pressed (hydraulic) to extract juices from fruit and vegetables. This process of apply high pressure (thousands of pounds) allows the juice to be stored for many weeks, while retaining all the important nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The process does not involve the use of heat or oxygen therefore no nutrients are lost in the entire process of making.
So to put it out simply, cold pressed juice are still fresh for upto 10 days (Different for each brand) from the date of manufacturing while fresh juices from other sources (juiced at home and bought from outside) needs to be consumed only fresh before oxidation process kills some of it nutrition value. Seems like a perfect choice for someone on the go and on a lookout for fresh & preservative free options.
