How to Make the Juice

If using a blender, chop the potatoes finely to make it easier.

Also add a little water (about 150 mL).

Blend, strain, and drink immediately.

The taste of potato juice is not pleasant.

Therefore, we recommend mixing it with other juices, such as apple and carrot.

Another way to make the juice is by peeling a potato, grating it, and then squeezing out the liquid.

This method is most recommended for treating gastritis and stomach ulcers.

Important Tips:

Always use ripe potatoes.

Green potatoes, or those with black spots or sprouts, contain toxins.
