July centrifuge: fresh, sweet and refreshing! – Italian Cuisine

In the month of July we propose a fresh, sweet and refreshing drink perfect for the sultry summer days

For the July centrifuged we thought of your tan. Our ingredients? Peaches and apricots!

Why eat peaches

Peaches are sweet and juicy and rich in properties. Suffice it to say that in China they are considered the symbol of immortality. There are many varieties of peaches and they are all sources of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins.
Peaches have antioxidant properties thanks to the presence of lutein, chlorogenic acid, beta-carotene and vitamin E and C.
They are very thirst quenching and therefore in summer they help to combat high temperatures while keeping the body hydrated. They are easily digestible fruits and stimulate intestinal transit, counteracting constipation. Be careful, though, because they can cause allergies, especially in children.
It is advisable to always eat them away from meals to benefit from all their properties.

Why eat apricots

Everyone loves soft and sweet apricots, but do you know that apricots should be eaten when they are still firm and slightly sour?
That is the perfect moment of maturation in which they are still full of all their properties. In particular, apricots are rich in beta-carotene and lycopene, substances that are allied to the heart and hinder the action of bad cholesterol. They are also rich in fiber and have a strong antioxidant power thanks to the presence of vitamin A that fights free radicals.
Even the apricot pits are used, especially in cosmetics to produce prized oils for skin and hair.

Peaches and apricots: the beauty of summer

These two fruits, as we have said, are an elixir of health and beauty and therefore it is a good rule to consume them this season when they are maximizing their powers.
And then, remember that they are good for the skin and stimulate melatonin, so they are precious allies of sunbathing. They are also moisturizing and draining and they free the body from toxins, preventing annoying swellings and stimulating blood circulation.
You can eat natural peaches and apricots, simply well washed and cut into pieces, or you can prepare a centrifuged thirst quencher. Here is the recipe.

Medlar centrifuge – Italian Cuisine

A special but perfectly seasonal centrifuge! Try the medlar centrifuge and let us know

For the May centrifuge we use a somewhat underestimated fruit: the medlar

Why eat medlars

These small yellow fruits that ripen just this season are rich in properties.
They contain minerals such as sodium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium and zinc.
They are also a source of vitamins, especially A, B and C and contain Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
Despite having astringent properties due to the presence of tannins, they do not cause constipation, but rather regularize intestinal transit.
The medlar also have a good content of antioxidant flavonoids such as chlorogenic acid. These substances counteract the activity of free radicals by preventing cellular aging.

How to consume medlars

The medlars are eaten naturally, but they can also be candied or cooked to make many recipes, not just desserts. The best medlars are the mature ones of a beautiful intense yellow-orange color. When they are not completely ripe and still have green parts they have a sour taste. To consume them, just remove the thin skin that surrounds them and the large internal seeds.
The medlars are also often used for the preparation of mustards and jellies, excellent as an accompaniment to seasoned meats and cheeses. The leaves are used for the preparation of herbal teas and detoxifying decoctions for the liver, while the seeds produce a liqueur called Nespolino, very similar in taste to Amaretto.

How to make a centrifuge with medlars

The medlars contain only 25 calories per 100 grams and have a considerable satiating effect, which is why we have chosen to use them to prepare a delicious light and refreshing centrifuge perfect for this month that precedes the arrival of summer.
Together with the medlars we will centrifuge ginger root, a green apple, mint leaves and a kiwi. As always, you decide the quantities.
Do you want to give the centrifuge a spicy taste? Abound with ginger and if you want to make it very sweet, use yellow and not green apples.
Remember to remove loquat seeds and peel. Ginger and kiwis must be peeled, while apples are deprived of the core because the peel can be centrifuged.
It is not necessary to sweeten this centrifuge in any way, which will be naturally sweet and with a slightly acidic aftertaste.
To prepare the centrifuge it is enough to cut all the fruit, add small pieces of ginger and a few leaves of mint and put everything in the appropriate machinery.
What to do with the residues? Add them to the dough of a simple breakfast cake.
