Good to know

Tips

A slow (masticating) juicer extracts much more from leafy greens than a centrifugal one.

Common mistakes

Adding too much kale or spinach, which turns the juice bitter.

Food safety

Fresh, unpasteurised juice has not been heat-treated. Wash produce well under running water, use clean equipment, drink it the same day and keep it chilled; pregnant people, young children, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system may prefer pasteurised juice.
Contains celery, one of the 14 major allergens.

Storage

Drink within a few hours.

Variations

Blender green juice: Blend everything with 150 ml cold water (liquid first), then strain through a fine sieve.
