The demand for healthy, sustainable, and functional food and beverages is on the rise across the country—and cold-pressed juice checks all the boxes. Informed consumers know to ask what type of juice extraction method their hotel, restaurant, or grocery store uses. Investing in a cold press can set you apart from the competition.
The United States accounts for more than 46% of the global fresh juice market, and it is projected to grow to $614 million by 2032. Most of this growth will come from small and medium-sized food establishments.
Cold pressing juice aligns with consumer goals for health, wellness, and sustainability. Modern consumers are ingredient-conscious in their food and beverages, prioritizing organic, preservative-free, and chemical-free options. They choose natural foods that are good for their body and good for the environment.
Cold presses (also known as slow presses) use thousands of pounds of pressure to crush and press fruits and vegetables, extracting the liquid goodness inside. Juice pressing retains more vitamins, minerals, and enzymes than extraction methods that use grinding and pressing.
Zumex cold presses are designed for maximum efficiency, producing up to 30 gallons per hour. This allows you to juice all your pre-packaged menu items at the start of the day. The juice is filtered through a metal mesh filter to remove pulp, seeds, pits, and rind.

How are fresh cold-pressed juices sustainable?
You can purchase organic bottled juice that is quickly pasteurized with heat instead of chemicals. Quick pasteurization retains nutrients, but the carbon footprint of processing and shipping is high. Fresh squeezing is sustainable, and consumers perceive made-to-order or same-day squeezed and bottled juice as healthier.
While conscious consumption is on the rise, consumers continue to crave the convenience of takeout, delivery, and dining in restaurants. As such, adding more farm-to-table, fresh, and chemical-free items to your menu can be lucrative.
Many food trends won't be suitable for your establishment, but adding freshly squeezed juice to your menu supports the growing trends in healthy snacks and functional beverages.
