Can I use store-bought juices?

+

While fresh juices from your Omega Juicer will provide the best flavor and nutritional benefits, in a pinch, high-quality, organic, or cold-pressed store-bought juices can be used. However, they might not offer the same vibrant taste or nutritional value.

How do I store the sauces?

+

Sauces made with fresh juice are best used immediately due to their short shelf life. If you must store them, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Consider freezing the sauce in ice cube trays for longer storage and individual portions.

Is it safe to heat juice?

+

Yes, heating juice is safe. However, prolonged exposure to high heat can diminish some of the nutritional benefits. It’s best to heat juice gently or cook at lower temperatures to preserve its properties.
