Ingredients

  • 3 cups (675 g) chopped green cabbage
  • 1 ¾ cups (435 ml) water

Steps:

  1. Boil the water in a small pot for 30 minutes. The water you use must be free of chlorine and other additives. Most of the undesirable elements can be eliminated by boiling, but you can also run your water through a filter or leave it sitting out at room temperature for 24 hours.
  2. Note that you do not need to do this if using distilled water. You only need to purify your water if it comes from your tap or well.
  3. Put the chopped cabbage and the water into a blender. Use a large blender so the blender is only about 2/3 full. If you fill the blender to the top, the ingredients may not blend thoroughly enough.
  4. Blend the cabbage and water together at low speed. Stop as soon as the water is green-tinted, along with visible pieces of cabbage still floating around. It only take one or two minutes.
  5. Blend the mixture on high for about 10 seconds. Do not allow the mixture to blend at high speed for much longer than that. There should still be a few small pieces of cabbage floating around in the juice. You do not want to create a paste or a pure
  6. Pour the mixture into a 1-quart (1 liter) jar. Make sure there is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) between the surface of the cabbage mixture and the rim of the jar. The liquid will likely expand as it sits, so it needs room.
  7. Seal the jar tightly with plastic wrap. The jar that you use has a lid that will also work well. For a tighter seal, you can stretch plastic wrap over the mouth of the jar as well as screw the cap on the jar over the wrap.
  8. The cabbage mixture is left to sit undisturbed at room temperature. The temperature should not drop below 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) or rise above 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.6 degrees Celsius). The ideal temperature is about 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22.2 degrees Celsius).
  9. Let the cabbage mixture sit for 3 full days or 72 hours. The juice is fermenting, growing cultures that will help your digestive health.
  10. Place a mesh strainer over a clean, empty jar. Use a strainer with relatively small gaps, if possible, to separate as much of the mixture’s liquid from the mixture’s solid parts as possible. Make sure the strainer you use is also smaller than the mouth of the jar to avoid any overlap or spillage.
  11. Pour the pulpy liquid through the strainer and into the second jar. tendon. সহজ বাংলা: মাংসপেশি/টেনডনে টান।" data-rx-term="strain" data-rx-definition="A strain is injury to a muscle or tendon. সহজ বাংলা: মাংসপেশি/টেনডনে টান।">Strain the liquid slowly to avoid accidentally spilling the juice or causing the strainer to get clogged with pulp.
  12. Cap the jar. Store your cabbage juice inside the refrigerator until ready to use and serve it chilled.
  13. Repeat this process when your original supply gets low, reserving ½ cup (125 milliliters) of your original batch. This ½ cup (125 milliliters) should be added to your new batch before the fermentation process.
  14. Allow your new batch to sit at room temperature for 2 hours before straining. By adding cultured juice from the previous batch, you sped up the time it took for your new batch to ferment.

Cabbage juice dosage

The juice of cabbage half or more should be consumed several times a day to cure peptic ulcers. If one does not want to have it straight, then other juices such as celery juice or carrot juice might be mixed.
