National Fresh Squeezed Juice Day 

You may think that 15 January is just an ordinary day, but you are mistaken. We should all be celebrating National Fresh Squeezed Juice day with a glass of our own! 

Drinking fresh-squeezed juices are an easy way to get your daily fruits and vegetables, plus it’s easier for your body to digest because the food or drink is already broken down into a digestible form. 

So, today raise a glass of your favourite fresh–squeezed juice and drink it all in. Visit Food for Mzansi’s Mzansi Flavour section for yummy recipes to try out.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
