Do you feel like having a juice that freshens and energizes you, that cools and detoxifies your system? Do you wish to have a juice that you can enjoy in scoops, munching delicious, sweet grated cucumber in between heavenly nectarine sips? Something light and filling at the same time? Are you looking for a juice that uplifts your spirits and gives you a feeling of contentment? The traditional Konkani jaggery cucumber juice is an apt answer. Mature sambar cucumbers were used in olden days as common cucumbers were not so easily available and as ripe, organic sambar cucumbers could be stored for seven to eight months. Though I use both, I find that mature, common cucumbers are the best. The very fragrance of jaggery cucumber juice is divine. Do make and enjoy!
