Cold Press Juicing Method

It's advisable to always start with herbs to maximise their flavour infusion into the juice. Begin by adding a whole handful of mint leaves into the juicer.

Following the herbs, introduce cabbage pieces gradually, allowing the juicer to process each handful. Don't be alarmed by the squeaking noise; it's a normal part of the juicing process.

Continue by adding ginger slices to the mix.

Finally, incorporate the pineapple. Add the strips one at a time, ensuring each piece is pressed through before adding more. Save the core pieces for last, adding individually to complete the juicing process.

Happy Juicing!

Tip: When selecting cabbage, opt for a heavy-sized head with bright, colourful, and crisp leaves. Ensure that the cabbage feels firm to the touch when assessing its exterior. This indicates freshness and quality.
