We prepare our ginger drink using a slow juice screw press technique. We press our ginger and turmeric using this screw pressing technique. Large screws squeeze the juice from the ginger and turmeric, leaving a lot of juice and only dry pulp.
WHAT IS SLOWJUICE SCREW PRESSING?
A slow juice screw pressing technique is a method of squeezing juice from vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. We at Paulies Ginger use a very large industrial screw press machine. The ginger and turmeric are pressed into 90% juice and the remaining 10% is dry pulp that remains.
The juice is squeezed out slowly and gradually by a rotating screw or spiral, rather than being thrown rapidly by a fast-turning basket or blade. This slow, gentle pressing method minimizes the friction and heat created during the pressing process, which can lead to oxidation and breakdown of important nutrients in the juice.
Slow juice screw press technique can also help to extract more juice from the ingredients as it has a higher efficiency than the centrifugal method. The juice produced using the slow juice screw press technique is often considered to be of higher quality, with a fuller flavor and more nutrients than juice produced using the centrifugal method.
There are several advantages associated with the slow juice screw press technique, also known as slow juicing. Below are some of the most important benefits:
More juice: Slow juicing then squeezes juice from the ginger and turmeric in a slow, methodical manner, resulting in more juice. This is because the slow pressing technique removes more moisture from the products, while releasing less heat and air into the juice, which can slow down the oxidation process.
More Nutrients: Slow juicing also keeps more nutrients in the juice because it is not exposed to heat and air. This ensures that important vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients are better preserved.
Taste and texture: Slow juicing not only retains more nutrients, but also leads to a better taste and texture of the juice. The slow, methodical pressing technique preserves the natural flavor of the ingredients while filtering the pulp and fibers from the juice for a smooth texture.
