Ingredients:
- 1 Ash gourd
- 6 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Black pepper powder
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions:
Wash the ash gourd thoroughly and cut it open. Remove the seeds and the soft center part. Peel off the outer skin and dice the ash gourd into small ½ inch pieces.
Place the diced ash gourd into a high-speed blender and add some water. Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth puree.
Strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer, extracting all the liquid into a large bowl or jug. You can use a spoon to press the pulp and get all the juice out.
Add the lemon juice, black pepper powder and honey to the strained juice. Optionally, you can also add a pinch of salt for taste.
Mix all the ingredients well.
Serve the ash gourd juice immediately for the best nutrient value.
For maximum health benefits, you can enjoy the plain ash gourd juice without adding lime juice, salt, and pepper. For a refreshing twist, you can blend in some mint leaves or cucumber along with the ash gourd.
Remember that ash gourd juice is best consumed right away as it may lose its nutritional value if stored.
Selection and storage of ash gourd
When selecting an ash gourd, choose one without bruised marks. It should feel heavy for its size and have a characteristic white, ash-coated surface. The interior should be white with a crisp and even texture. Uncut, it can be stored for a month or more in a cool, dry area. Cut pieces or wedges of ash gourd can be refrigerated for 4-5 days if wrapped in cling wrap or a moist paper towel.
This miracle juice effectively absorbs toxins and contaminants from the body, promoting overall health and wellness. Making it a daily habit can lead to significant health benefits and a cleansed system.
