Juicing ginger: the best tips and tricks

If you juice ginger, you can use the juice obtained in a variety of ways. We have a few tips and tricks for making ginger juice for you. We'll also show you how to incorporate healthy juice into your diet.

Juicing ginger - with and without a juicer

There are three ways to extract juice from the ginger root.

• Juicer : If you have a juicer at home, making ginger juice is quite convenient. You don't have to peel the ginger.
• Juicer : Maybe you don't have a juicer, but an electric juicer at home. You can also use this to juice ginger.
• A peeling of the root is also not necessary with this method. It is enough to chop the ginger roughly before you put it in the juicer.
• Hand blender : If you do not have either of the two household appliances mentioned, you can alternatively use a hand blender for juicing. To do this, cut the unpeeled root into small pieces and puree them as finely as possible.
• Pour the mass obtained in this way into a handkerchief and squeeze it vigorously over a container to extract the juice.
• You can achieve the greatest juice yield with a juicer. Pressing the mashed ginger root by hand is the cheapest method, but also the most complex. In addition, the juice yield is low.

Ginger juice and its use

Drinking pure ginger juice is certainly not a pleasure for everyone. The many essential oils and bitter substances do not contribute to the pleasant taste.

• If you want to drink ginger juice, you should therefore combine it with other ingredients.
• A popular trend drink is the ginger shot. In addition to ginger, you also need apples, oranges, lemons and turmeric for the production.
• Ginger juice is also suitable as a healthy ingredient for other freshly squeezed juices.
• The pure juice of the ginger root is also ideal for seasoning your dishes.
• Pour the freshly squeezed ginger juice into a sealable glass and keep it in the fridge for a few days.
• If you want to extend the shelf life, pour the juice into an ice cube mold and freeze it. So you always have a portion of ginger juice at hand - either for seasoning or for refining juices.
