There are a lot of people who like the taste and flavor of ginger. It’s something that improves the flavor of juices –both fruit juices and vegetable juices.

Ginger juice is also a great addition for helping with things such as upset stomach and other ailments, that’s why you see so many people drinking things like ginger tea. The ginger is not just a pleasing flavor, but it is something that also tastes great and can make you feel better.

Ginger is unique in that it’s not something you normally eat like an apple of in a salad. It’s more often akin to a garnish. However, it is something that can certainly be used to enhance a drink.

In addition to simply juicing ginger to improve the flavor and taste of a drink, it can be used as the main feature. There are ginger shots, which were all the craze a while ago in Hollywood.

Ginger and turmeric shots are a powerful alternative to something like a coffee with cream and sugar or an unhealthy energy drink.

But if you are making an energy drink, what can you do to make it healthy and make sure that you are not getting a poor quality ginger juice extracted from the ginger.

Well, that’s what this particular article is designed to explore. By the time you finish this article, what you’ll have learned is how to expertly juice ginger without wasting most of the ginger. And I’ll also have some reccomendations on the best juicer for ginger here.

 

Does Ginger Need a Special Juicer?

Yes, ginger does need a special juicer. Ginger is similar to a carrot. It’s a hard vegetable and unlike soft fruit, you can’t juice ginger with a cheaply made juicer.

While you might see juicing bars use high speed juicers, these types of juicers are actually the wrong kind to use.

Stores that make juice to order are not going to use the best juicers. It’s just a secret of the industry. The juicer that most stores use is a fast speed juicer because their objective it to make juice as quickly as possible to maximize their profit.

The goal of a store is not to make the highest quality juice with the most nutrition. If that was their goal, they would use a slow speed cold press juicer. They would not use a high speed juicer.

Juicing ginger requires that you use a cold press slow press style juicer. This is because you want to slowly squeeze the ginger juice out of the ginger, you don’t want to dice it up.

It’s important when you begin jucing to know what juicer to buy. Each has their own benefits and drawbacks.

 

Can You Cold Press Ginger?

Yes, as a matter of fact you should only be using a cold press juicer when you’re juicing ginger. Any other type of juicer just isn’t going to work. The manual hand press juicers which are great for things like lemon juice or citrus juice won’t work with ginger.

When you juice ginger, you need to use a juicer that uses a slow press extraction method. These juicers are designed to press the ginger and squeeze all of the juice from the pulp.

Other juicers, which are the high speed style, use sharp blades to mince up and dice…not squeeze. Most of the juice is left in the pulp which gets discarded.

So, in order to avoid this problem it’s advisable to just use a cold press juicer. Ginger is similar to things like carrots, beets, and other hard fruits and vegetables. In the same way you would want to cold press and use a carrot and beetroot juicer when making a liver tonic juice, you should also use a cold press when juicing ginger. You could even use the same type of juicer.

For almost all purposes, a cold press juicer is going to surpass the output of a regular juicer.

When you are juicing ginger, you can use things like whole lemons to make a ginger shot. And if you are juicing whole lemons, you’ll need to use a juicer that is cold press—so it just makes sense to avoid problems and get a cold press juicer to begin with.

 

Does Juicing Ginger Make Sense?

The answer to that question depends on what you’re looking for when you set out to make a juice. Are you someone who wants to make juice because it tastes good? Well, if that is the case then do you like the taste of ginger?

Are you looking to make a healthy drink that will settle your stomach and is ginger something that helps your stomach? If yes, then you should make ginger juice.

It’s something that is totally up to you and is going to depend on how much you like ginger.

I would never recommend that you make ginger juice if you’re not someone who likes the taste and flavor of ginger.

Ginger is a strong flavor and it’s certainly a good food to juice. But it all comes down to whether or not you enjoy the flavor of ginger. If you do, then go ahead and juice it. If you don’t, then you should not juice it.
