Onions are in almost every household. Onions add flavor to food when cooking, but onions have also been known as medicines for centuries. The pressed juice, for example, can be used very well as a sweetened cough syrup.

Make Onion Juice

There are several ways to prepare onion juice:

  • the grater
  • the Mixer
  • the juice centrifuge

Due to the high water content of the onion, the juice extraction will always be very plentiful no matter what the option. In all three cases, the preparation of the onion is the same.
First you need to peel the onions. To do this, cut off the root end and the base of the stem. Carefully peel off the dry, first layer of skin with the knife. The peeled onion can now be processed further.

Juicing with a square grater

  1. If you want to use the grater to juice, do not cut off the stalk of the onion. This way you can hold them better while rubbing.
  2. Place the grater in a large bowl.
  3. Hold the grater firmly by the top handle.
  4. Now grate the onion by moving it up and down with a little pressure on the grater.
  5. Once the onion is grated, use a spoon to scoop out the remaining onion pulp from inside the grater.
  6. Now take a second bowl, place a fine sieve in it and pour in the onion pulp. Squeeze out the pulp with a spoon so that the juice flows through well.
  7. Finally, you can press out the remaining pulp with a cheesecloth.

Juicing with the blender

  1. Peel the onion.
  2. Cut the onion into medium-sized pieces.
  3. Put the onion in the blender.
  4. Set the speed to medium-high and blend the onion pieces until a puree forms, about 1 minute.
  5. Place a sieve on a bowl and put a cheesecloth in it.
  6. Pour the pulp into the cloth and use a spoon to squeeze out the juice.

Juicing with juice centrifuge

  1. First peel the onions.
  2. Halve or quarter the onion, depending on the size of the hopper.
  3. If necessary, place a bowl under the sink. As a rule, however, the juicers have a collection container.
  4. Always put small amounts in the juicer.
  5. Use the onion juice as soon as possible.
