Different kinds of blueberries to make juice from

In the Netherlands, you generally encounter two different types of blueberries: one mainly in stores, the other in the wild. Both blueberries are very healthy, but there are differences. The somewhat larger, rounder berries you can usually buy in stores under the name “blueberries” are the fruits of the Vaccinium corymbosum. This is found in the wild in the United States and elsewhere, but not here. However, they are widely cultivated because they grow in clusters and are easy to pick. They have light flesh and a mild, sweet flavor. You can buy them year-round, though sometimes in the frozen section. Even frozen, these blueberries are still healthy. The blueberry that you can also pick in the wild in our Netherlands is a different type of berry, from the Vaccinium myrtillus. This one does not grow in clusters, but with more distance between the berries, which are also somewhat smaller. They have dark purple flesh and taste a bit more acidic and tart. You can pick them in the wild between April and June and sometimes again later in the (late) summer. You can make the following blueberry juice recipes with both types of blueberries.

Blueberry juice recipe

This delicious dark purple juice combines (wild) blue (bilberry) berries with (wild) blackberries, purple bilberry and a little lemon. In spring and (late) summer you can pick the blueberries and blackberries yourself in the wild. This is a fun way to enjoy a beautiful day and free too! Choose berries and blackberries that are a dark blue or purple color, a little soft to the touch and easily detached from the branch. Wild fruits are often very rich in healthy nutrients. Out of season, you can also choose blueberries and blackberries from the store, possibly in frozen form. They hardly lose freshness and nutrients when frozen, if all goes well. Fruits from the freezer are also often a bit more economical. Of course, you should thaw them for a while before pressing them.

Supplies per person:

• 2 handfuls (wild) blackberries
• 1 purple beet with stems
• 1 handful of (wild) blackberry leaves
• 1 handful (wild) blueberries
• 1/4 lemon
• 1 wedge of lemon peel

Preparation:

1. Wash the blackberries well and squeeze them in the slow juicer.

2. Scrub and wash the beet thoroughly and cut into wedges. Squeeze these, including stems, into the slow juicer.

3. Wash the blackberry leaves and squeeze them in the slow juicer.

4. Wash the blueberries and squeeze them in the slow juicer.

5. Squeeze the lemon without peel, but with white rim, in the slow juicer.

6. Finally, squeeze the piece of lemon peel into the slow juicer as well.

Blueberry juice recipe

This blueberry juice with cabbage, plums, carrot and aloe vera supports your immune system, among other things, because it contains a lot of vitamin C. Be surprised by this exciting combination of ingredients! Pick the berries in the forest or buy them at the store. Use aloe vera from your own plant (do follow the instructions carefully).

Supplies per person:

• 2 handfuls of purple pointed cabbage
• 2 roots
• 1 handful of blueberries
• 1 blue plum
• 1/4 stalk of aloe vera

Preparation:

1. Remove and discard the outer leaves of the pointed cabbage. Cut the pointed cabbage small and squeeze it in the slow juicer.

2. Remove the ends of the carrots, cut them into small pieces and squeeze them in the slow juicer.

3. Wash the blueberries and squeeze them in the slow juicer.

4. Remove the stone from the plum and squeeze it in the slow juicer.

5. Cut away the green skin of the aloe vera completely, leaving only the white, slimy fruit, and squeeze it in the slow juicer. Note: remove the peel carefully, as aloe vera peel is toxic to consume!

After juicing, drink your juice as soon as possible. Do you make larger quantities at once for convenience? Then you can freeze what’s left over, if necessary.

Buying blueberry juice: here’s what to look out for

Would you like to make your own blueberry juice, but don’t have the time to do so? Then buying blueberry juice is a good alternative. Preferably choose pure, organic blueberry juice without additives. Blueberry juice without sugar is of course the best. Juice from concentrate often contains much less nutrients, so if you want to benefit from the health benefits of blueberry juice, it is best to leave it out. Want to benefit from the amount of antioxidants in berries? Then our Antioxidant shot is worth a try. In addition to blueberries, this contains other wild berries and fruits with high antioxidant value. You will also find the berries in our Recover juice, Wild juice and Ron’s juice. All our juices are pressed with the slow juicer, immediately frozen and poured into glass to preserve all the healthy nutrients naturally, without unnatural additives. We deliver them to your home with the freezer truck at your convenience. All you have to do is thaw them and enjoy all the good that berries have to offer!
