In short
- Keep fresh juice in the fridge at 5 °C (41 °F) or below and drink it within 24–48 hours. Once it starts to foam, it's no longer juice.
- Windfalls from grass where animals graze never go into fresh juice, only into juice that will be pasteurised.
- A kilo of apples gives roughly 0.6–0.7 L of juice on a press, 0.55–0.65 L on a slow (masticating) juicer.
- Babies under 12 months get no juice; from 1 to 3 years, at most 120 mL a day, diluted.
- Tap birch sap only for 2–4 weeks in spring, one hole per tree, and plug the hole afterwards.
