How to squeeze lemon juice from a lemon. How to squeeze juice from a lemon: methods and recommendations

“I promised to tell you in detail about cleansing the body with lemons. The program that will be described is exclusively my personal experience, which I acquired this year when I was cleansing my body for almost four months. While the cleansing process was going on, I didn’t create any special programs, like, I’ll only eat this and that. I completely relied on what my body asked. After 10 days from the start of the cleansing, his signals became very clear and understandable - I could wake up and suddenly want something that I had not planned to eat in the morning. If there was no product I needed in the refrigerator, I went to the store and bought it. In this regard, I did not have any clear program at all, because... Almost every day my body demanded something new - or other products, or the combination of products changed during the day - if yesterday I wanted a certain product in the morning, then today I didn’t want to eat it at all in the morning, but wanted, say, in the evening. The only thing that remained constant was my body’s persistent desire to consume lemons. As I already wrote in the article about lemons, for me this desire was extremely unusual, because... I previously ate lemons extremely rarely and very little at a time. But this time I began to consume almost a kilogram of them a day. The body itself suggested to me the most effective way, which became almost a revelation for me in terms of health.

The program for cleansing the body, which will now be described, is, on the one hand, simple, but on the other hand, it contains many nuances that you need to know about. The article will be quite long, so I will divide it into several parts. Now I will outline a list of points that will be a continuation of the article. As they are written, I will provide links to them in this article so that the information is in one place before your eyes.

1 – How to make lemonade correctly

A detailed description of how to properly make lemon juice (pure lemon juice) and lemonade. Rules and conditions of storage.

A detailed description of the system for drinking lemonade (diluted lemon juice) for deep cleansing of the body. Programs for varying intensity (speed) of body cleansing are described. Recommendations for eating during the cleansing course.

A point that I did not pay attention to at the beginning, as a result of which the process of removing toxins from the body in the first weeks of the cleansing course was very difficult for me. I realized the importance of this point only after a month and a half. I really regret that I didn’t pay attention to the intestines right away. I advise you not to repeat my mistake and extremely pay close attention to this moment.

Part 1: how to make lemonade correctly

At the beginning I wanted to describe the cleansing program itself, but I’m almost sure that readers will not wait for the description of the process of obtaining lemonade (second article), and will immediately rush into battle :) Therefore, I swapped the points, because The process of obtaining lemon juice plays a key role in the cleansing system. The effectiveness of taking improperly prepared lemon juice or lemonade will be sharp reduced. I will describe the reasons in detail in this article.

Choosing a juicer

The main benefit of lemons lies in special essential oils and volatile elements, which evaporate very quickly upon contact with air and especially with metal. Contact with metal is also harmful for vitamins and minerals, because immediately after contact, an oxidative reaction begins, leading to a sharp decrease in them in the juice. This applies to all fruits and vegetables. For example, you can take an apple - if you cut an apple and leave it lying on the table, then in about 15-20 minutes (if it is a good natural apple without chemicals), it will begin to turn black. This occurs due to the contact of the iron contained in the apple with air. On lemons, the oxidation process is invisible, but it occurs much more rapidly compared to an apple.

Therefore:

— When squeezing juice from lemon, do not allow it to come into contact with metal. In other words, the juicer should not be metal.

— The squeezing process should be kept to a minimum so that the lemons and the resulting lemon juice have as little contact with air as possible. It follows from this that the most common and cheapest centrifuge-type juicers cannot be used.

Few people know that juicers are divided into many types depending on what fruits or vegetables the juice is extracted from. If you go to a professional juice bar, you will see at least 5 types of juicers for different juices - the technology for obtaining juice will be different everywhere. There are special juicers for citrus fruits, but here I will focus on only two of them. The rest of the juicers that I will write about are universal, i.e. Generally suitable for all fruits and vegetables. Yes, there are such options for home use, unlike professional solutions for the same bars and restaurants.

I will briefly describe all types of citrus juicers that are suitable for squeezing lemon juice. They describe from simple and cheap options to expensive professional ones. I will announce approximate prices in dollars so that the cost is relevant at any time. The pictures are clickable.

1 – Simple manual juicer

I think everyone knows this juicer, its design is as simple as possible. The lemon is cut in half, the pulp is placed on the squeezing rod, and the juice is squeezed out by normal manual rotation.

Pros of the juicer: lowest price – $25-40. I advise you not to take cheap ones for several hundred rubles, because... Their plastic is of low quality, and the reliability of the design leaves much to be desired - they will quickly break. Choose good branded options.

Cons of the juicer:

— The juice is obtained with a large amount of pulp, which will have to be filtered through cheesecloth several times (for lemonade you need juice without pulp).

— The spinning process requires a long time and a certain amount of physical strength. Prolonged contact of lemon and juice with air.

— Extremely low efficiency of the resulting juice (efficiency is the ratio of the lemons consumed and the juice obtained).

Bottom line: the cheapest option. Having saved on a juicer, you will then spend much more money on buying lemons due to low efficiency. In addition to this, each time you will need to try to squeeze out the juice as quickly as possible in order to minimize the time of contact with air. Not everyone is physically able to do it quickly with this juicer.

2 – Press juicer for citrus fruits

More advanced option. Classic press-shaped design. To prepare the juice, the lemon is also cut into two halves, the slice is placed on a press, after which it is squeezed.

As an example, I give an example of a Czech juicer from the company Sana - “Citrus Press”. The price is around $230.

Pros of the juicer:

— High reliability.

Cons of the juicer:

— Due to the fact that the squeezing parts are made of metal, the juice will need to be squeezed out as quickly as possible to avoid oxidation. In the juicer indicated in the example, the parts are made of high-quality stainless steel; the oxidation process does not occur so quickly, but it still occurs.

— A certain amount of physical strength is required to extract juice.

— The spin efficiency is higher than that of the previous model juicer, but not ideal.

Bottom line: the juicer, in my opinion, is not for everyone.

3 – Single screw juicer

Screw juicers are the best options in terms of efficiency. They allow you to get the maximum amount of juice from products. To squeeze a lemon, you need to peel it, cut it into slices and squeeze out the juice.

For our task, we should choose juicers whose screws are made of special ceramics. This minimizes the oxidation process of the juice.

As an example, I will give an excellent vertical single-screw model from the Korean manufacturer Tribest - “Slowstar SW-2000”. Its price is around $500-550.

Pros of the juicer:

— Tribest is a leader in the production of high-quality home appliances. Quality at the highest level. The largest guarantee among manufacturers.

— High efficiency of juice extraction.

— The low speed mode of rotation of the auger prevents the juice from heating up and becoming saturated with oxygen bubbles, which minimizes the process of juice oxidation.

— The juicer allows you to squeeze juice not only from citrus fruits, but also from any fruits and vegetables. You can even squeeze juice out of nuts.

— High speed of work and purity of the resulting juice.

Cons of the juicer:

- Price. Here I can say that this is the best price for a juicer of this class and quality. There is simply no point in taking it cheaper.

- Some skill in cleaning the juicer will be required. This process will take some time at the beginning.

4 – Twin screw juicer

Twin-screw juicers have all the advantages described for single-screw juicers. They differ only in that they have a higher efficiency of juice extraction.

As an example, I will give a model from the same manufacturer: Tribest - “Green Star Elite GSE-5000”. This is the best professional home juicer you can find in the market. He has a huge number of various awards. The price is around $850.

Pros of the juicer:

— The same as the previous model.

— Maximum productivity (efficiency) when squeezing juice.

— Thanks to their design, twin-screw juicers can squeeze juice even from spruce needles, grass or sprouts. This will be especially true for those who love, for example, wheatgrass (wheat sprout juice).

— Among other things, the model has various attachments that allow, for example, preparing fruit baby puree. It's simple gigantic savings on baby food. If you have a small child and you feed him store-bought purees, then the juicer will run out of juice in literally 4-5 months. Very I advise young parents to pay attention to this point. With this juicer you will not only save money, but also get the opportunity to feed your child natural purees, and not the, to put it mildly, chemical crap that is sold in stores.

Cons of the juicer:

- Price. I will write comments on this point below.

— You will also need skill in washing a juicer.

Result: ideal choice if budget allows.

I want to write a little about the price. I was very relaxed about what I had in my kitchen. At one time, I didn’t see any point in spending money on some kind of juicer. The year before last, I became interested in the topic of wheatgrass, as a result of which I bought myself a Tribest juicer - “Green Star Elite GSE-5000”. Very strangled a toad before buying.. :) But when this miracle arrived at my home, after the first day I realized that This is the best purchase I have made in my entire life in terms of household appliances! I was able to squeeze the juice out of whatever I wanted at any time. I'm a big fan of juices that I used to buy at the store. Within the first six months of using this juicer, I completely repaid its cost. And besides this, I get pure juice without additives or preservatives. Lemon juice, returning to the topic of the article, turns out perfect. I highly recommend checking out this model. After a couple of days, you will no longer imagine your life without this juicer.

I don't recommend buying cheap models. Before I bought myself a juicer, I spent more than a week on thematic forums, websites and YouTube. I re-read and reviewed a ton of reviews. The examples of models that I gave above are the best options that you can buy. I advise you to pay attention to them.

A professional auger juicer is the most necessary thing for those who take care of their health and the health of their loved ones. It allows you to make your diet truly natural, removing as much as possible all the harmful chemicals that you previously bought in the store in the form of juices, etc. This is a gigantic field for various experiments for squeezing juice from not only fruits and vegetables, but also from various sprouts (wheat, mung bean, chickpeas, etc.). Many vegetarians love milk made from various nuts. An auger juicer will open up new horizons for you in this direction.

By purchasing a high-quality auger juicer, you ultimately save a lot on food. As I already wrote, the efficiency of these juicers is the highest. This point is not so critical if you were squeezing juice from, say, carrots - carrots are very inexpensive, and the difference in the efficiency of a cheap juicer and a good one (it can be up to 30%, i.e. on a cheap one, say, you you can get 500 ml of juice from 1 kg of carrots, but on the expensive side 700-800 ml). But if you squeeze juice from lemons, the price of which at the time of writing this article is 150 rubles / kg, then such a difference in efficiency will be very significant. If you buy a cheap model, you will end up spending more money on buying lemons over and over again.

Spend some money buying a good juicer for your home.

How to make lemon juice

Everything is quite simple here. I describe the process for an auger juicer.

- Peel the lemon. Do not leave a white layer between the skin and the pulp. It gives a bitter taste to the juice, there is no liquid in it, so it is useless. It is better to peel a lemon with a ceramic knife. Buy a ceramic fruit peeler - it is small in size and relatively easier to use. I do not recommend using metal knives for the same reason - when cleaning, the lemon will begin to oxidize.

— Immediately cut the lemons into slices so that you don’t waste time cutting them while squeezing the juice. Remember that the juice must be squeezed out as quickly as possible so that the time of contact with air is minimized.

— If necessary, strain the resulting fresh juice through cheesecloth. I filter it myself every time, because... I like absolutely pure lemon juice without pulp. If you use the first two types of juicers, be sure to strain. If you use screws, then you can skip this point.

— Buy a liter glass bottle with a tight-fitting cap in advance from the store.

— Fresh juice and lemonade should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature around +1..+4 degrees Celsius. Freeze categorically it is forbidden. If the temperature drops below zero, a negative process will begin in which the amount of essential oils, vitamins and other beneficial substances will sharply decrease. There will be practically no point in consuming such fresh juice or lemonade.

- If you are just starting a cleanse, then you will need to store lemon juice. Fresh juice can be stored for a maximum of 2 hours in a closed glass bottle in the refrigerator. But if you dilute the fresh juice 1 to 1, the shelf life increases to 12 hours. Thus, if you squeezed juice in the morning, you need to immediately break it up with water in a ratio of 1 to 1, pour it into a bottle and put it in the refrigerator on the door - the temperature there is optimal. You can safely use this concentrate throughout the day. Then you can make lemonade from it in the proportion you need. In the next article I will go into more detail about the proportions of diluting lemon juice.

If you plan to take lemonade with you to work, you should also store it in an airtight glass bottle. Before going to work, prepare lemonade in advance in the proportion you need so as not to have to do this in working conditions.

That, in fact, is all that concerns the process of obtaining high-quality lemon juice and lemonade.

Now I’ll answer a few questions about lemonade that I was asked earlier.

IN: Is it possible to add sugar to lemonade?

A: Sugar is bad for our health. In addition to the fact that at the moment sugar is a pure chemical (for example, it is bleached with chemicals on the basis of which washing powders are made, and then people eat it), it sharply reduces the characteristics of lemonade. If you really can’t bear to drink pure lemonade, you can add a little honey to it (you need to add and stir the honey with a wooden spoon). But honey also reduces the effectiveness of lemonade. Literally after 3-5 days you will completely get used to the sour taste of lemonade.

IN: I read that you can add ginger to lemon for better cleaning..

A: There is no need to add anything to the lemonade. I am now describing a system that is based solely on clean lemonade without any additives to it. Options with additives are different methods. I have tried many of them and I can say with complete confidence that this is the most effective. As I often write, you don’t need to take my word for it – try it and see for yourself.

IN: Lemon is an acid. It is harmful to the stomach to eat it in its pure form..

A: Absolutely false. I will comment on this point in detail in the next part of this article.

Of course, lemon peels are very useful. But for our task, the described cleansing technique, they are not suitable.

Answer

Can this lemonade be given to children?

Answer

Is your child somehow different from you in a physiological sense? Of course you can:)
The program I described is nothing more than a certain set of rules, using which you can keep your body clean, which is the basis of health. If you instill in your child the habits of proper nutrition from childhood, his life will proceed at a qualitatively different level.

Answer

Turns out, Getting enough lemon juice at home is not difficult at all.. The main thing is to prepare the lemon correctly. And this can be done using different methods.

Warm to room temperature

Storing citrus fruits in the refrigerator is convenient and familiar. It often happens that when starting to prepare a dish, the housewife takes the food directly from the refrigerator and cooks it, as they say, “under the knife.”

In the case of citrus salad dressing, it is better to be more careful and take the fruit out of the refrigerator and into the room in advance.

The fact is that at higher temperatures, the lemon pulp becomes softer, and the cell membranes in which the desired juice is located are more pliable.

The result of squeezing juice from a warm fruit will be noticeably better than from its cold counterpart.

Place in a bowl of hot water

As the temperature increases, the fruit pulp becomes softer and softer. If you want an even more visible result, then put the lemon in a bowl of very warm water. There is no need to boil the water; just fill the container with hot water from the tap.

The water must first be drained so that its temperature is higher. Use a heated and slightly cooled kettle for this purpose. The optimal water temperature is 60-70 degrees, so that a lowered finger can remain in it for several seconds. You should not overheat the fruit. Heating can affect the taste of the juice and its quality. We want to get as much of the product as possible not only tasty, but also healthy.

Heat in microwave

It's great if you have a microwave. Place the lemon in it for just 30 seconds and quickly get the fruit ready for squeezing. It is better to put the fruit in the microwave oven whole so that the valuable juice does not leak out., but stayed inside. Its surface should become warm, but you should not overheat the fruit.

The principle of operation of a microwave oven is the same - the fruit is heated under the influence of microwave radiation, and its cell membranes soften. The juice will flow much more easily when squeezed.

Freeze before placing in microwave

There is another more labor-intensive, but also much more effective method for obtaining citrus juice. If you know in advance that you will need a lot of lemon juice, for example, to make several glasses of drink, then you can put the lemon in the freezer.

Lemon juice is a liquid. When any liquid is strongly cooled, that is, when it turns into a solid state, it tends to expand. When cell sap expands, cell membranes are damaged and torn. That's why, after defrosting, juice actively flows out of the fruit.

Frozen lemons are hard, so defrost them first and they will become soft. The easiest and fastest way to do this is to use a microwave. First, frozen fruits must be thawed. To do this, the microwave oven has a special program, and then turn on heating for a short time. Heating is needed so that the pulp shells that survive after freezing soften and release juice.

Roll on the table before cutting

The most accessible technique of all – it “works” even with cold fruits. It will be indispensable when there is no time to wait for them to heat up, but you need juice now.

Take a lemon, place it on a flat table surface, press it with the entire flat of your palm and start rolling vigorously. Soon, you will notice that the fruit has become softer. All!
Now cut and squeeze out.

The manipulation will be a little easier with a heated lemon., but the effect will please you even if the fruit is from the refrigerator.

We invite you to watch a video on how to squeeze juice from a lemon by first rolling it out on a board:

Cut along, not across

This advice is an addition to the previous ones. To get the juice you will have to split the lemon. Often it is cut crosswise, it is more beautiful when you need lemon for tea. But the juice is squeezed out better when the fruit is divided along its length. This is due to the fact that the area of bare pulp becomes larger, so the juice comes out better. In this case, increase the amount of squeezed contents by 2-3 times.

How to replace an electric juicer?

How else can you quickly squeeze juice out of a lemon?

Arm yourself with a fork. If you don’t have a juicer, then a fork can work according to its principle. Insert the teeth of a fork into the pulp of a lemon cut lengthwise and twist with force, then squeeze out the fruit. This procedure must be repeated several times until the juice stops flowing. The tines of the fork will damage the cell membranes and help the juices escape.
Use a manual citrus juicer. To do this, cut the fruit in half crosswise. Place each half on the press, flesh side down, and press firmly, turning it slightly on the press. The mechanical impact will damage the cell membranes and juice will leak out of the lemon.

How to avoid getting your hands dirty?

And now the most original and beautiful way to get fresh juice. It is created specifically for those who want to maintain their manicure or have delicate hand skin. Lemon juice is quite aggressive and, when squeezed, stings delicate skin and damages the coating of the nails. To prevent this from happening, use the following method.

You will need:

sprayer;
wooden skewer;
scissors and lemon.

It is desirable that the lemon be softer.

We cut the sprayer tube to the required length. Focus on the size of the lemon.
Use a skewer to pierce the lemon at the base.
Insert the sprayer.
Now you can drizzle your salad beautifully and hassle-free without getting your hands dirty.

How many grams of product are in one fruit and half of it?

In a lemon, 70 percent of the weight is liquid and 30% is pulp.

Of course, it is impossible to squeeze out all the juice. Use our tips, and you will increase the effectiveness of this procedure, and you will get more juice than if you just try to get it without using various tricks.

Fruits vary in weight and juiciness. A fresh medium-sized fruit yields approximately 50 -70 ml. juice. This is approximately 3-4 tablespoons. Accordingly, from half a lemon you will get 1.5-2 tablespoons.

From this article, you learned many techniques on how to properly extract juice from a lemon, from the simplest to the more complex and creative. In order to use healthy citrus fruit as efficiently as possible, it is highly advisable to use several methods at once or choose one, the most effective.

Now you know how to get as much lemon juice as you need with minimal effort.

If you find an error, please highlight a piece of text and click Ctrl+Enter.

Juicing a lemon or lime isn't difficult, but if you want to get the most out of your citrus fruits while saving your money, here are some tips.

Roll out the lemon on the countertop before squeezing the juice.

This is a classic method where the citrus is rolled out on a hard countertop before the juice is squeezed out, breaking the membranes around the fruit that contain the juice. If you are going to squeeze a lemon with your own hands, and you have no other tools other than a knife, then this is the fastest way.

Heat the lemon in the microwave for a few seconds before squeezing the juice.

This method suggests putting the lemon in the microwave for 10 seconds before squeezing the juice and you will see results that look very convincing. The process is similar to rolling fruit, because the molecules of the pulp juice are excited in the microwave, and the same effect is obtained as in the first method.

One explanation for this is that when water molecules enter the microwave, the energy causes the membranes around the membrane that contain the juice to rupture, making the fruit juicier when you cut it. Another, and perhaps more likely, explanation is that the energy from the excited water molecules makes the membranes and skin of the fruit softer and easier to tear when you cut it before you start squeezing.

Freeze citrus and then heat in the microwave

The rationale for this method is that when the water freezes to ice, it will expand and rupture the membranes, or at least make them brittle enough that when you put the fruit in the microwave, the membranes can break easily. This method takes a little longer because you need to freeze the lemon completely and then microwave it for 30-60 seconds until it is soft enough to squeeze out as much juice as possible.

Just buy a juicer

There are many tricks small and large, but there is a point when you have to stop and just buy the right tool for the job. A good manual juicer will cost you about $20 on Amazon, but you can find even cheaper by purchasing a less popular model if you want. In any case, you can easily cut a lemon and squeeze it with a juicer every day.

How to squeeze a lemon? | Topic author: Anatoly

I really can't squeeze lemons

Denis Clean it, squeeze it in a juicer)

Yaroslav) Pour boiling water over the lemon. There will be more juice. If you don't have a citrus juicer, cut the lemon in half and use a spoon to pick and squeeze.

Andrey Instructions
1

The easiest way to extract lemon juice is to use a juicer. Citrus fruits are very soft fruits, so they can be processed in any juicer. Rinse the lemon and cut it in half. Most often, juicers and food processors allow you to leave the skin on the fruit. Place the lemon parts one at a time into the juicer and follow the instructions. You may have to squeeze the juice by hand; if you use electrical equipment, it will do the job for you. If necessary, strain the resulting juice through a sieve or a clean gauze cloth to remove any pulp or seeds.
2

If you don't have a juicer on hand or only need a small amount of lemon juice, use cutlery. Rinse the lemon and cut it into two halves, keeping the peel intact. Insert a teaspoon into the center of one half so that it cuts right through the flesh. Lift the fruit over the cup. Hold the spoon inside the lemon and squeeze the peel with your hands. When almost all the juice has flowed into the bowl and it becomes difficult to squeeze the lemon, begin to rotate the spoon inside the lemon half, while squeezing the peel with your free hand.
3

Peel the lemon and cut it into 2 or 4 pieces. Place the lemon slices in a deep cup and squeeze them with a fork. Of course, some of the juice will remain in the pulp, but you can extract most of the acidic liquid from the fruit.
4

Lemon juice is squeezed out much easier after heat treatment of the fruit. Place the lemon in boiling water for 2 minutes and then cool. After this, use any method of squeezing juice. You will need significantly less time for squeezing, and the juice will not lose its beneficial properties.
5

Peel the lemon and cut it into small pieces. Wrap the lemon slices in gauze or a medical bandage. Roll the cloth while holding it over the juice cup.

Subtleties of making lemon juice

Choose citrus fruits of minimal or medium size for making fresh juice. Large fruits are “dried”, they lose some of their properties and are too thick-skinned. Before starting manipulations, wash the lemons with soda, then scald with boiling water. This move will allow you to squeeze out most of the juice. From 1 citrus you will get about 35-65 ml. fresh, it all depends on the size of the raw material.

Lemon juice can be prepared in the following ways:

Hand press. On store shelves there is a manual juicer that is designed to extract juice from the pulp of citrus fruits. The device is not suitable for other types of fruit. The cost of the device is low (about 500 rubles). To use a hand press, cut the lemon into 2 pieces. Then “prick” the pulp onto a special protrusion and begin to twist clockwise or counterclockwise. Finally, strain the juice through cheesecloth.
Juicer. An electric device costs an order of magnitude more than its manual counterpart, but the result is worth it. You will get all the juice in the lemons. The “dried” pulp will come out through a special compartment. The fresh juice is released into a special hole. The drink does not require subsequent filtration through gauze.
Blender, meat grinder. The most common and effective way to obtain lemon juice. After rinsing, chop the fruits into several small pieces and place them in a blender. Grind until it becomes a porridge with juice, then place on a gauze cloth. Squeeze the fresh juice into a separate container. In a similar way, lemons are crushed and the juice is subsequently obtained through a meat grinder.
Manual squeeze. If you don’t have any of the listed devices, the only way left is to squeeze the juice with your own hands. To do this, wash and rinse the lemon, scald with hot water, and dry. Then cut the fruit into 4 parts, squeeze out the juice from each section. Press firmly on the zest to compress the pulp. Subsequent filtration through gauze is optional.
