How Long Vegetable Juice Lasts

[2006]

She asked how long would the green juice last. Like I said in The Recipe Book, it lasts three days without fermentation. And then she asked, can we eat it even though it's fermented and gone off? Yes, you can, but it's for detoxification.

If you were a heavy cooked food vegetable eater, then of course you could utilize that fermented juice, cup a day, couple days a week. So yes, you can utilize it, but don't have more than one a day of the off juice. It doesn't go ahead.

Does it help if you add honey and lime juice to it to make it last longer?

[Aajonus]

Well, lime will help it last a little bit longer, lemon wont, lemon is a fermenter, too. Lime juice will help it last, so will honey, but lemon will help it ferment quicker. Remember, lemon is a fermentation fruit fluid, lime is a bacteria damager, it stops fermentation.

So, lime juice is an antibacterial, lemon helps produce fermentation and bacteria.

So, which is better?

[Aajonus]

It depends on what you need.
