    Making red cabbage juice is an easy way of including more of this nutritious vegetable in your diet. When it comes to juicing red cabbage is quite adaptable and can be combined with a range of ingredients for a delicious and nutritious beverage.

    See also my white cabbage juice recipes.

    These easy red cabbage juice recipes are made using a combination of vegetables and fruit producing 3 deliciously flavoured juices.  Enjoy for breakfast, with lunch or as a refreshing beverage anytime.

    Can you make red cabbage juice taste delicious

    Absolutely!  On its own red/purple cabbage juice has a very robust, sharp flavour which can be hard to really enjoy.  But if you combine it with the right ingredients it can be turned into a surprisingly delicious beverage.

    I’ve selected a handful of everyday ingredients and created 3 different red cabbage juice recipes.  In addition to the cabbage each juice contains another vegetable and a fruit.  These additional ingredients tone down the strong sharp flavour of the cabbage, adding sweetness and improving the overall flavour of the juice.

    The proportions I used in each recipe will yield approximately 450-500 ml of the juice.

    All the red cabbage juices have a similar purple/red colour.

    Is purple/red cabbage good for you?

    Yes, it is!

    Raw red cabbage is high in Vitamin C, A, K and B-6, as well as iron and magnesium, potassium and other nutrients.  This article explains the health benefits of red cabbage quite well.

    How to prepare fruit and vegetables for juicing

    Juicing red cabbage is very easy to do.  You do not have to get rid of the tough middle bit so simply chop the cabbage into chunks and make the juice.

    It’s best to use unpeeled vegetables and fruit for maximum nutritional benefits.  The 2 exceptions are oranges and the beetroot (unless you are confident there is no soil left on the surface of the beet).

    So just rinse your produce thoroughly, chop into chunks and get juicing!

    You do not need to core the apples and pears prior to juicing.

    All 3 recipes use inexpensive easy to find fruits and vegetables.

    What you will need

    • Juicer
    • Cutting board, knife, peeler
    • Jar, bottle or glass for storing juice

    • Squeeze of lemon juice

    Red cabbage apple juice with carrots is robust, sweet and super tasty.

    Ingredients

    • 300 g red cabbage
    • 3 medium carrots, unpeeled
    • 2 large sweet apples, unpeeled

    How to store fresh juice

    You can store fresh homemade vegetable or fruit juice for up to 2 days, refrigerated, in a glass bottle or jar.

    Top Tips

    • Whenever possible it is best to use unpeeled vegetables and fruits for juicing for maximum nutritional benefits.  Exceptions include beets, which I prefer to peel in order to make sure no grit gets into my juice.  I also peel citrus fruit as the skin is bitter.
    • There is no need to core the apples and pears. You can store fresh vegetable or fruit juice for up to 2 days, refrigerated, in a glass bottle or jar.
    • Chop the fruit and veg roughly before juicing.
    • You can keep any unused fresh juice in a bottle or jar in the fridge for a couple of days.

        I do not provide nutritional advice but cannot imagine that juicing 2 entire apples can be harmful. In any case the seeds are so small they will probably end up in the leftover pulp rather than the juice. But it's up to you whether you want to use the whole apple or not.

        Cabbage juice is apparently really helpful for your gut microbiome, strengthen your intestinal walls to stop leaky gut, and help treat colitis.

      I love three different hues of purple on each one of your red cabbage juices. I really like the sound of different veg & fruit pairings you are suggesting to go with red cabbage which sound really tasty! Refreshing and super nutritious - fantastic!

        It does have a nice colour, doesn't it? Red cabbage actually produces quite a lot of juice and tastes really nice with 'sweet' ingredients.

            Hi Karen, each recipe should yield approx. 2 portions of juice (2 med. glasses) and if you click on US Customary under the Ingredients list you'll get ounces. 300g is 10.58 oz.

          They say for the health purpose effectiveness of juice never mix veggies with fruits when juicing.. My receipt is cabbage, beet or celery stalks and carot. But if you drink as a meal should be ok mixing, i guess.

      Somehow cabbage juice sounds a bit scary. But I don't really have anything to back that up with. I use kale in smoothies all the time. Anyway, you've made your juices look so beautiful, I might just give it a try.

      Pinned.
