Tomato Juice

Tomato Juice
Uncooked, fresh squeezed tomato juice tastes and looks quite different from its salted, cooked, and canned counterpart. Cooked and uncooked tomato juices have opposite effects on the body, canned tomatoes or tomato juice contains citric, malic, and oxalic acids. Made from cooked tomatoes, canned juice tends to acidify the blood and draw minerals from the tissues, teeth and bones. Uncooked, vine-ripened tomatoes or fresh squeezed tomato juice, on the other hand, is slightly alkalizing. It adds to the stores of minerals – especially calcium – in the body.

Fresh tomato juice is also rich in vitamin C, and is highly cleansing to the liver. Fresh tomato juice stimulates circulation and the heart, and adds to the texture and flavor of fresh juices it is used in.

Hothouses tomatoes should not be used to make fresh tomato juice. These are the varieties that are available in the North during winter months. These types are picked green, shipped, and then gassed to make them turn a pink red color.

Use only vine ripened tomatoes for juicing, preferably from garden or from local source during summer growing season only.
