Deficiency of vitamins and sun with the approach of spring began to be felt more and more. And it so happened that we surrendered to a cold. In order not to leave the disease a single chance to continue the banquets, we decided to resort to a powerful vitamin bomb and remembered our trip to Istanbul and at the same time about our favorite juice, which not only contains a huge amount of vitamin C and increases hemoglobin, but also quickly copes with anticipatory longing!

I remember the trip to Istanbul not only because of the breathtaking city, sea and people, but also thanks to the smiling sellers of fresh juices standing almost on every corner in the central part of the city. Orange, pomegranate, grapefruit, carrot, kiwi, strawberry, or a mix - the choice was eye-catching. The pomegranate became a favorite, as the pomegranates there are sweet as honey.

Returning to Kiev, we first went in search of a citrus press. Although, in fact, this press is most convenient for squeezing juice from pomegranates. So a standard juicer turns pomegranate into a brown mixture with a bitter pitted taste.

Such a simple press Vitesse (France) lives in our house. It cost a little less than $ 30. The choice of such pieces is simply huge, as is the price range - from a simple $ 30 to $ 200-$ 300. Our press is already two years old and it fully paid off its cost.

How it works? You simply cut the oranges and pomegranates in half, place the pulp on the ledge of a special bowl and press. Oranges and pomegranates should not be very large, otherwise it will be very difficult to crush.

We first crush one half of the oranges, and then, when they are already half empty, we put one on top of the other and press again - this is 1.5 times more juice. Although it is called a citrus press, it actually solves the problem of squeezing juice out of pomegranates, plus you get pretty good juices with pulp (strawberry), kiwi puree and even sometimes tomato juice with pulp from fresh tomatoes for spaghetti.

My favorite ratio is 4 small oranges and 1 pomegranate. It turns out very tasty and healthy! The main thing is to choose that the oranges are sweet - they cover the acid of the pomegranate (if caught not very sweet).
