Stay tuned to the other equipment pages on our sites!  We’re going out new lines of equipment to better serve our clients and becoming that one-stop-shop for all your juice bar needs.

Within the next couple of weeks, we will be posting more and more equipment so keep coming back every week and see what’s new!

So I’ve been working here at Freshly Squeezed for a while now.  I talk to people in all aspects of the industry on a daily basis.  With that being said, I have to be honest in the fact that until now, I hadn’t really appreciated what juicing means to some people.  For some out there, it really is a life saving lifestyle.

Eric, our National Sales Director, pointed me in the direction of a documentary called “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”.  In this movie, it chronicles a few people’s lives as they put themselves on a “juice fast” for 60 days.  The results, to put it lightly, were REMARKABLE.  There is one gentleman in this documentary named Phil.  Severely obese, a horrible auto-immune disease, he was certainly nearly dead.

Over the course of his juice fast, not only did he drop a ton of weight (pardon the pun), but he was able to be taken off the multitude of prescriptions that he was on.  Including the ones for his auto-immune disease!

After watching this movie, I felt inspired to change my lifestyle in a similar way.  I have bought my own juicer and will be going on my own juice fasting journey starting this weekend.

Stay tuned to this blog as I will post updates periodically with my progress.

Thanks for your time,

Justin

2014 is fast approaching, and this is the perfect time for you to start hashing out new ideas and concepts for your location.

The food industry is constantly changing and evolving, and it has never been as important as it is now to stay current and up to date.  Part of this needs to be with the equipment you’re using.

With newer models and upgrades in technology, Zumex is constantly improving on their top-selling brand.  The Versatile Pro has received many upgrades to the programming and has quickly become our most popular model.  It can be run as a self-service model or can be programmed for a finite number of fruit or even constant run.

Sammic is already one of the biggest names in kitchen equipment in Europe and they are quickly making a huge impact over here in the States.  Their highly efficient lines of food processors and emulsifiers outshine all their competitors and every time we set them up at a trade show, we draw huge crowds.  People are just absolutely amazed at how quick these machines are.

Wheatgrass stands out as a superfood, primarily due to its rich chlorophyll content, a vital plant pigment imbued with magnesium.

This remarkable green is teeming with a plethora of nutrients, securing its spot as one of the top juices available. But why exactly should you incorporate wheatgrass juice into your diet, and how does it stand apart from the myriad of health beverages on the market?

The Optimal Time for Wheatgrass Consumption

For starters, wheatgrass reveals its full potential roughly seven to eight days after harvest, when juiced.

The timing of consumption post-juicing is crucial; to maximize its health benefits, one should consume the juice immediately. This practice ensures the highest retention of its nutrient and vitamin content.

Wheatgrass juice is celebrated not only for its nutritional value but also for its ability to rejuvenate the body, often referred to as “the plasma of youth.” It’s known for its remarkable ability to refresh and revitalize various bodily functions, including hormones, enzymes, nucleic acids, and vitamins.

Wheatgrass Juice: A Fountain of Youth and Health

The consumption of wheatgrass juice is backed by numerous health practitioners over the years, attributed to its exceptional health benefits. One of its most notable advantages is its detoxifying properties, particularly in cleansing the lymph system.

This detoxification helps maintain a cleaner bodily state, promoting overall well-being. Moreover, wheatgrass juice is renowned for enhancing the oxygen and nutrient levels in the bloodstream, facilitating a healthier body system.

It Aids In Digestion

According to the American Cancer Society, wheatgrass powder is rich in alkaline minerals that offer respite from various gastrointestinal issues such as ulcers, constipation, and diarrhea.

Research highlights its efficacy in cleansing the colon, maintaining a balance in acidity levels, and facilitating smooth digestion. The presence of magnesium and chlorophyll in wheatgrass works to strengthen the intestinal muscles and enhance their ability to retain water, contributing to overall digestive health.

Helps With Weight Loss

Regular intake of wheatgrass is known to activate the thyroid gland, leading to an increased metabolism, higher energy levels, and assistance with weight loss.

This effect was substantiated by research conducted in 2015. Moreover, as a natural energy enhancer, wheatgrass supports weight loss efforts by supplying the stamina needed for physical activity. For optimal results, it is recommended to consume wheatgrass on an empty stomach.

Packed with an array of nutrients, wheatgrass plays a significant role in reducing food cravings and balancing any deficiencies in vitamins or minerals. Incorporating a wheatgrass supplement into your morning routine can help curb the tendency to overeat during the day, making it a valuable addition to your dietary regimen.

Detoxification and Balance Restoration

The concept of detoxification is frequently misunderstood, being narrowly associated solely with substance recovery, such as drugs and alcohol. However, the scope of detoxification extends far beyond these areas. Individuals can benefit from detoxing their bodies as a response to poor dietary habits or suboptimal lifestyle choices.

At the heart of the detoxification process is chlorophyll, a compound that research indicates plays a crucial role in enhancing our health. It is known to elevate the red blood cell count, purify the blood, and increase hemoglobin levels. Chlorophyll’s potent cleansing abilities help to detoxify not just the bloodstream but also the liver and colon, significantly improving cellular health and vitality.

Juicing Wheatgrass: The Right Equipment

Given wheatgrass’s leafy nature, juicing it requires a specific type of juicer to extract its maximum benefits. The ideal choice is a masticating juicer, which operates by crushing the wheatgrass effectively. This method of juicing ensures the most efficient extraction of nutrients from the wheatgrass, allowing you to enjoy the full spectrum of its health benefits.

Incorporating wheatgrass juice into your diet is more than a trend; it’s a lifestyle choice that offers rejuvenation, detoxification, and an impressive array of nutrients. With the right juicing equipment, you can unlock the full potential of wheatgrass and embark on a journey to better health.

This should come as no surprise, but we’ve been getting a lot of calls for service and parts lately. The problem? The requests are for knock-off machines!

We’ve posted about this before, but we felt that it was worth talking about again due to the recent rise in requests for service of these machines. There are so many issues in dealing with knock-offs, I’m only going to take the time to go over a couple here.

When you buy a cheap imitation, you have NO service department to back you up. You have no access to spare parts. You’re buying as is and it’s wham-bam – thank you ma’am.

While we would love to help you out with these machines, the fact is that we have no way to service them, no access to spare parts for those machines, and neither does anyone else. So while you may have saved some money up front on buying the machine, you are now stuck in the unenviable position of having to purchase ANOTHER machine.

We recently had a client that purchased his machine on E-Bay roughly 4 months ago. The thing doesn’t work anymore! He had had nothing but issues with the thing for 4 straight months and finally just gave up on it, and in turn ended up buying a Versatile machine through us. Now he’s backed himself up with our service department, a warrantee, and access to any spare parts he will ever need.

Save yourself the trouble and the headache! Stay away from the cheap imitations!!!

Maintaining your juicing equipment in top condition is crucial for ensuring smooth operation and prolonging its lifespan. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your machines running like new:

For Ruby 2000 and Nutrifaster N450 centrifugal juicers: Daily cleaning of the juice filter is essential for balanced weight distribution on the shaft. It’s also wise to inspect the bearings annually to prevent any looseness. Neglecting this could lead to a full overhaul of the machine, which might cost between $200 to $500.

Zumex Multifruit centrifugal juicer users: Always connect this juicer to a power strip to ensure a stable electrical supply and prevent internal breaker issues. If a problem arises, there’s a spare breaker conveniently located in the panel where the power cord enters. Remember to keep smaller components, like the regulating dial, free from food and juice debris to prevent them from sticking or breaking.

For Zumex citrus juicers (including Essential, Versatile, Speed models): Ensuring that the safety sensors are correctly aligned and in place is paramount, particularly around the front cover and juice tray. Annual checks of the orange seals and the stainless steel plate at the front for any build-up or corrosion are recommended. Spotting any damage? Reach out to Freshly Squeezed right away.

Zumonat C-40 hydraulic press juicer: Keep the green “ON” button dry to fend off corrosion. It’s a good practice to have the unit professionally inspected every 18 months to catch any potential issues early.

Goodnature X-1 hydraulic cold press juicer: For those with older X-1 and X-6 models made of powdered metal, regular and thorough cleaning is vital to prevent rust and corrosion. Additionally, it’s beneficial to have the electrical components and hydraulics inspected annually.

At Freshly Squeezed, we offer comprehensive service and carry parts for all the equipment mentioned. We also provide extended warranties of up to 5 years for the brands listed. Feel free to contact us for more details and ensure your juicing equipment remains in peak condition.

Freshly Squeezed is not in any way affiliated with, or endorsed by Goodnature Products, Inc. whose products may, from time to time, be available through us. Any Goodnature products available through us have been reconditioned and/or refurbished by Freshly Squeezed, not by Goodnature Products Inc. Any warranty provided is covered by FreshlySqueezed and not by Goodnature Products, Inc.

Following their European counterparts, an increasing number of American chefs, foodservice and supermarket operators are investing in vacuum packing machines to incorporate them in their daily operations.

Vacuum packing machines are a great tool to extend shelf life and to prevent freezer burn. The vacuum packer has also become an essential piece of kitchen kit for many chefs and caterers who gain specific benefits in terms of advanced food preparation, portion control, spread workload, reduced food wastage, lower food costs, safer food storage, higher standards of food hygiene and Sous Vide or water bath cooking. Freshly Squeeezed offers one of the best European vacuum packing machines manufactured by Sammic, Spain. Sammic’s vacuum packing machines are not only specifically designed for the foodservice industry they also are the only vacuum packers that are NSF certified.

Tangible advantages can be gained in the kitchen from vacuum packing and storing pre-prepared foods such as fresh or sliced meats, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits, salads and cheeses for several days without any deterioration in quality and pre-portioning soups, sauces and entire dishes to reduce food wastage. These advantages extend to butchering, peeling and slicing in advance of busier times and batch production of meals and meal components for mise en place operations. All these benefits contribute to increasing the efficiency of the kitchen and the possibility of offering a wider choice on the menu. All food – both cooked and raw – can be hygienically stored in vacuum pouches for storage in one refrigerator or effortless transported between locations thus minimizing the risks of cross-contamination.

The Sammic vacuum packing is a method of storing and preserving food in an airless environment, usually in air-tight pouches.

Unlike normal atmospheric conditions of air pressure equating to approximately 1,000 mbar, a vacuum environment has little or no oxygen, i.e. depending on the capabilities of the vacuum packer air pressure can be reduced as low as 0.5 mbar (in other words 99% vacuum). It is well established that vacuum packed foods can keep food fresh for up three to five times longer than refrigeration.

The table below sets out some guidelines on the shelf life of vacuum packed foods when used in conjunction with refrigeration at +3/+5°C. (such as fish, meat, poultry and cheese) or in a larder (dry ambient food such as coffee, dried fruits, rice, cereal etc.).

In addition to the storage benefits of vacuum packing in the refrigerator and larder, cold frozen food stored in a vacuum pack does not suffer the affects of freezer burn.

Moreover, Sammic vacuum packing has advanced over the years and progressed from purely being a shelf life extender and portion control tool into a forward thinking cooking technique in its own right. Sous Vide or water bath cooking refers to a cooking technique in which a chef vacuum packs food with the sole purpose of poaching the pack in water at a precise temperature for a given period of time. This method is one of the most important culinary innovations of modern times and heralds in a new era of gastronomy, including new cooking times for service that keeps meat meltingly tender, fish succulent no matter how long it’s been cooked for and fruit and vegetables that retain their colour and flavor while undergoing remarkable transformations in texture, not too mention many operational benefits such as slow cooking and cook and chill for regeneration on demand.

If you are a restaurant or juice bar the last think you want is an ugly juicer, especially if you want people to use it.

Two standout brands in this arena are Zumex and Zummo, with models like the Zumex Essential Pro and the Zummo Viva leading the pack. Let’s explore why investing in such attractive juicing equipment can be a game-changer for your business.

Enhanced Customer Experience

The first thing to note about high-quality juicing equipment like the Zumex Essential Pro and the Zummo Viva is their ability to enhance the customer experience. These machines don’t just juice; they perform. Watching fruits and vegetables being transformed into fresh juice adds an element of theatre to the customer experience.

This transparency not only entertains but also instills confidence in the freshness and quality of the drink being served.

Boosted Sales Through Visual Appeal

There’s no denying that attractive, modern equipment draws the eye. The sleek design and sophisticated appearance of machines like the Zumex Essential Pro and the Zummo Viva serve as a magnet for customers.

The novelty of watching a high-tech juicer in action can intrigue passersby, turning them into customers. Moreover, businesses report significant increases in juice sales after upgrading to these visually appealing models, with the action of the machines themselves becoming a form of advertisement.

Branding and Positioning

Using premium juicing equipment can also play a vital role in your establishment’s branding. Offering a live juicing experience with top-of-the-line equipment like Zumex and Zummo models positions your brand as one that values quality, innovation, and customer engagement.

It’s a statement that you’re willing to invest in the best to provide the best, setting you apart from competitors who may use less engaging, lower-end juicers.

Operational Efficiency

Beyond aesthetics, models like the Zumex Essential Pro and the Zummo Viva boast operational efficiency that can streamline your service. Fast, consistent, and capable of handling high volumes of fruit, these machines reduce wait times and enhance customer satisfaction.

Their ease of use and maintenance also mean that your staff can focus more on customer service and less on the intricacies of machine operation.

Sustainability and Health

In today’s market, consumers are increasingly drawn to businesses that prioritize sustainability and health.

Premium juicers from Zumex and Zummo are designed with these values in mind. They often feature energy-efficient operations and are built to last, reducing waste and the need for frequent replacements. Moreover, by showcasing the fresh and natural juicing process, you underscore your commitment to providing healthy, wholesome options to your customers.

Conclusion

The choice of juicing equipment in your establishment can have far-reaching effects on your business’s success.

Models like the Zumex Essential Pro and the Zummo Viva offer more than just a means to extract juice; they provide a comprehensive solution that enhances the customer experience, boosts sales through visual appeal, supports your branding efforts, ensures operational efficiency, and aligns with health and sustainability goals.

In the competitive landscape of the food and beverage industry, investing in attractive, high-quality juicing equipment is not just an operational decision—it’s a strategic move towards greater success.

Zumex never stops innovating. Introducing our Zumex Multifruit juicer in a chic silver color which has undergone two major improvements: it has become measurably lighter and easier to use, since the standby function has been removed allowing you to switch between juicing speeds without an intermediate step. Backed up by Zumex’s industry leading 2 year warranty Zumex Multifruit is a fantastic complimentary piece of equipment to any of our Zumex citrus juicers.

Mobile knife:  is a mess and a nightmare to install, and sooner or later somebody will cut a finger with it.

Cooling system: not long enough to chill the juice properly; difficult to clean, easy to break, and very expensive.

Do you have a concession stand?  Seasonal restaurant or bar? Poolside food and juice stand?  Or do you just really want to add fresh juices to your food selection now that summer is rolling around and you just aren’t sure if it will stick?
Well, we have the answer for you! For as little as $200 per month, you can rent one of our Zumex automatic citrus juicers or our our unique Zumonat hydraulic press for the season.  We will credit you toward a purchase at the end of the season if you decide to keep the equipment, or you can just return it.  Really simple!
We can help you with finding inexpensive fruit and vegetables, bottles, advertising, stickers, or even give you lots of pointers that we have collected over the past 5 years of working with small and medium sized business owners just like you.
