Wash and clean your fruits and vegetables, and cut them into pieces that will fit into your juicer. Remove any peels, seeds, or stems as needed. For citrus fruits, remove the skin and white pith to avoid bitterness.

Accepted Answer

Some common mistakes when making juice include using overripe or underripe fruit, using too much or too little of an ingredient, and not cleaning the juicer properly after use. Also, make sure to drink the juice immediately or store it properly to avoid spoilage.

Question 8

How should I store leftover juice?

Accepted Answer

Store leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Make sure to shake or stir the juice before drinking, as it may separate or settle over time. Alternatively, you can freeze the juice in ice cube trays for later use in smoothies or other recipes.

Question 9

When does Juice expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened store-bought juice can typically last 1-2 years beyond the printed date if stored properly. However, once it has been opened, you have a small window of 7-14 days to consume it when refrigerated, though it’s best to finish it within the first week. Homemade juices or juices made with a juicer have a significantly shorter lifespan, often only remaining safe and tasty for a day or two in the fridge. Freezing juice is a good way to extend its shelf life; an opened juice can be frozen safely for 3-6 months.

Question 10

How do you tell if Juice is bad?

Accepted Answer

Telling if juice has gone bad is usually quite simple. Start by checking for any visible mold or discoloration. Changes in texture or color can indicate spoilage. The smell and taste are also good indicators; if the smell is off or it tastes sour or fermented, it's likely gone bad and safe consumption is not advised.

Question 11

Tips for storing Juice to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always keep juice refrigerated, especially once it's been opened.

• Seal the juice container tightly after each use to keep out bacteria and oxygen, which speeds up spoilage.

• For homemade juices, consume them as soon as possible for peak freshness and nutrition.

• If you can't consume all your juice within a week of opening, consider freezing it into ice cubes for later use in smoothies or cooking.

• Don't store juice in the door of your fridge where the temperature often fluctuates, keep it in the main body of the fridge instead.
