Questions about Cucumber juice
How do you make cucumber juice without a juicer?
Blend chopped cucumber with a small splash of cold water, then strain it through a fine sieve or clean cloth. For a less watery drink, blend without extra water and press the pulp firmly.
Do you need to peel cucumber before juicing it?
No: wash it well and juice it with the peel for a greener colour. Peel it if the skin is waxed, tough or bitter; remove large, watery seeds if you want a smoother drink.
How long does fresh cucumber juice keep in the fridge?
Keep it in a clean, tightly sealed bottle and drink it within 24 hours. It separates as it stands, so shake it before pouring.
What goes well with cucumber juice?
Mint, lime or lemon, ginger and a little apple all pair well with its mild, watery flavour. Add it to a savoury green juice, or mix it with sparkling water for a simple cooler.
Can you use cucumber juice instead of cucumber in a recipe?
Only when the recipe needs liquid: cucumber juice can flavour a dressing, soup or drink, but it will not provide the crunch or bulk of chopped cucumber. For tzatziki, grated cucumber is essential; drain it well before mixing with yoghurt.
Is cucumber juice lower in sugar than carrot juice?
Yes. Cucumber juice has 1.6 g of sugar per 100 g, compared with 6.16 g in carrot juice.
Is cucumber juice as high in fibre as eating cucumber?
No. Cucumber juice has 0.1 g of fibre per 100 g, while cucumber has 1 g; straining the juice removes much of the pulp and fibre.
