Discovering incredible detox recipes: the cabbage juice

A real panacea for the body, the cabbage juice is simple to prepare in one of its many variations.

When it comes to cabbage juice, a world opens up before us. In fact, there are many types of cabbage and, although they all belong to the cruciferous family and therefore enjoy roughly the same properties, the recipes may undergo slight variations. Cabbage juice, between properties and contraindications, can be prepared both with the centrifuge and with the extractor and we will give you all the appropriate suggestions.

Before doing so, however, we would like to list the benefits of this recipe. Rich in potassium , cabbage juice promotes diuresis and helps fight water retention. Also, having a low sugar concentration and very few calories, it is among the perfect drinks for diabetics. Last but certainly not least, this drink is rich in vitamin C useful not only to strengthen the immune system, but also to counteract some diseases related to the digestive system such as reflux. In short, have we convinced you to try the recipe for the cabbage juice?

Preparation of the cabbage juice

1. To prepare the cabbage juice, let’s start by saying that you will need to get a seasonal cabbage , the choice is yours whether it is hooded or red. Remove any damaged leaves and proceed with the preparation.
2. We advise you to start with the red cabbage and apple juice because the bitter taste of this vegetable may be too strong for less accustomed palates. Then activate the centrifuge and little by little add the cabbage leaves and the cored apple (if organic you can keep the peel).
3. The result is a pleasant tasting drink with a beautiful purple color.
4. However, we advise you to use an extractor and proceed in the same way. In fact, to appreciate all the benefits of this health drink, it is important not to heat it, which happens instead with the centrifuge .

Cabbage centrifuged: some variations

Staying on the subject of quick and easy recipes, there are some variations of this basic preparation that we recommend you try. The first is the centrifuged red cabbage and carrot which, like the version with apple, is ideal if you don’t like the excessively bitter taste of this vegetable. Very particular but light and tasty, the cauliflower and carrot juice is obtained by inserting in the machine 1 carrot and 1/4 of cauliflower per serving but I recommend: drink it immediately!

The black cabbage extract, on the other hand, is prepared with 100 g of black cabbage and the juice of half a lemon per serving. Also in this case it is sufficient to insert all the ingredients into the machine, wait for the juice to come out, then drink immediately.

storage

Red cabbage juice can be stored in the refrigerator for a day but keep in mind that many of its properties tend to dissolve in contact with the air.
