Watermelon is indispensable if you have kidney problems or you just decided to lose weight. Watermelon juice is a wonderful and pleasant base for unloading days.

How to make watermelon juice at home?
For starters, choose a ripe, juicy watermelon. We clear the flesh from the peel and bones, and let it pass through the juicer, it's better to screw it - it squeezes the juice to dry cake. In the case of a conventional juicer, you can scroll the flesh again and finally squeeze the juice with gauze. Watermelon juice should be drunk immediately, without leaving "for later" even in the refrigerator. If desired, you can add to it other juices, sugar powder or mineral water with gas - get a really invigorating drink!
Recipe for watermelon juice for the winter
Although it is not very common and not everyone knows about it, but watermelon juice, like any other vegetable or fruit, can be preserved and drunk in the winter. Of course, most of the beneficial properties are inevitably lost, but it retains its diuretic effect, taste and summer freshness.
Ingredients:
- pulp of watermelon - 8 kg;
- sugar - 300 g;
- citric acid - 10 g.
Preparation
Watermelon pulp without pits we grind in puree, add citric acid and sugar, and send to the fire. Bring to a boil, reduce the gas to a minimum and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. If desired, you can add apple, cranberry or plum juice , then you need to boil a little more. We pour it on sterilized jars and roll them up with metal covers. Watermelon juice is ready! From the amount specified in the recipe, about 5 liters of juice is obtained at the outlet.
How to prepare watermelon juice in a juice cooker?
Another way to conserve watermelon juice is to cook it in a juice cooker. To do this, pour in at least 3 liters of water into the bottom pan of the sokovarki, and fill the top with a pulp of watermelon seedless, cut into fairly large pieces. If desired, you can add a little sugar, but remember that the juice in the juice is always more sweet and concentrated than the juice produced by the juicer. We put the unit on fire and after a while the life-giving moisture will begin to be released through a special tube. Since this juice has pasteurized, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time without changing its taste.
Juice from watermelon crusts
We will make a reservation at once - juice from watermelon crusts can be prepared only in the event that you are absolutely sure of the origin of the fruits themselves. Otherwise, risking instead of a vitamin cocktail get a hefty dose of nitrates and other, not the most useful additives.
And to prepare such juice is very simple! Instead of throwing the crusts, let's pass them through the juicer and get a fresh, green and unsweetened drink. You can mix it with celery juice in a 1: 1 ratio or add the pulp of the watermelon pulverized in a blender. In any case, it's delicious and very useful!
