Cold pressed or pressed as it is often referred to refer to a juice extraction process. In this process the raw vegetables and fruits are transformed into pulp by a slow revolving blade and then this pulp is wrapped up with a cloth and is hard pressed for extracting juice.  This juicing process because of less exposure to heat and air preserves optimum amount of nutrients, including vitamins, enzymes, minerals and dietary fiber. Besides, providing optimum nutritional value this type of juice also provides a cleaner and crisper taste.

In complete contrast to the pressed juicing process mentioned above, extraction of juice in centrifugal method causes more oxidation through exposure to heat and air, because in this method, the use of high RPM blade creates more heat and exposes the pulp to air. Not only this juice offers much less shelf life, it is also devoid of vital nutrients and dietary fiber. Moreover, this juice is not as tasty and full blown as the pressed ones.
