Storage
Freshly squeezed juices are best enjoyed immediately, but of course you can also keep this in the refrigerator in a sealed bottle or container. It’s best consumed within 24 hours and make sure to give it a good shake as it will separate.
You can also freeze the juice in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Make sure to leave a generous amount of empty space as it will expand as it freezes. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then give it a good shake when ready to drink.
Expert Tip
If you plan to keep the beet juice in the refrigerator, add a few drops of lemon juice. The citric acid in lemon juice acts as a natural preservative, helping to slow oxidation and maintain the juice’s freshness, flavor, and nutritional content for a longer period. It can extend the refrigerated shelf life of the juice slightly beyond the typical 24 hours, up to 48 hours.
FAQ
According to Healthline, beet juice is rich in nitrates, which may improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, enhance exercise performance, and support heart health.
Beet juice is a healthy drink, but as with all foods, it should be consumed in moderation. Drinking it every day in large quantities may lead to excessive sugar intake and potential gastrointestinal discomfort.
