What does it take to make great juice?
Juice is always a popular item for health-conscious individuals. Fresh, 100 percent juice is a great part of any nutrition plan and is enjoyed by almost everyone, and in the days where America is struggling to address the "obesity epidemic," offering fresh juices is a great way to capitalize on this trend.
So what does it take to make great juices? First, you need the right produce. Juice can be made from just about any type of produce, whether fruit or vegetable. Some of the more popular fruits for juices are apples, oranges, lemons, pineapples, strawberries, pears and grapes. Vegetables that can be made into juices include greens like spinach and kale, or other items like beets and carrots. Herbs like ginger and cinnamon, and other items like wheat grasses and sprouts are also common additions.
In addition to the right produce, you also need the right restaurant equipment. Peelers and pulp extractors can be useful. You'll also need a high-quality juicer or food processor. You may even consider purchasing special juice glasses to give your presentation that little something extra.
