Ingredients
Materials
- - fruit juicer with worm shaft
- - knife
- - container
Preparation
Sea buckthorn berries are detached from the twigs (with a of scissors), washed by rinsing in 2-3 waters, then left to dry on paper towels, on flat surfaces for about an hour.
We prepare the ginger and lemon for the juicer: we wash and peel the ginger and lemon. We will cut the ginger into pieces of about 1 cm, so that it can be easily squeezed, and we cut the lemon into slices.
Having all the ingredients ready, we will start squeezing with the help of a screw-driven juicer (cold squeezing, recommended at low speeds per minute ~ 40rpm).
Start with sea buckthorn berries, then, from time to time, add another piece / slice of ginger / lemon.
Lemon slices also have the role of decongesting the juicer sieve (fluidizes the juice and unclogs the sieve).
The formed juice is poured into glass containers that are hermetically sealed and stored away from light and cold (refrigerator).
The sea buckthorn and ginger pulp, obtained, is dried and can be used both in the preparation of teas and in the production of sea buckthorn powder (by grinding, after it has dried well). I prefer to remove the lemon pulp from the resulting pulp.
Administration
Cures of 2-4 weeks are recommended, especially in the autumn-winter period.
It can also be consumed in various drinks.
Observations
Store mandatory in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
If we have larger quantities, the juice can be frozen, in containers as small as possible, so that it can be consumed in a short time.
Defrosting will be done only in the refrigerator and not at room temperature or forced by other methods! This way we avoid altering the properties of the juice.
It is recommended to defrost small quantities, ready to arrive for consumption within 3-4 days.
Sea buckthorn, also called Romanian ginseng, is a natural polyvitamin (C, E, F, D, A, B1, B2).
Sea buckthorn contains an incredible number of 190 nutrients and phytonutrients.
The amount of vitamin C is 12 times higher than that of orange.
Sea buckthorn is the only plant on the planet that contains Omega 7, an extremely hard acid to find.
