Mondays are the busiest days for Roni’s cart, parked in Cidade Baixa. “People drink a lot on Sundays and end up with hangovers,” says the Bahian. But his green detox juice made in a sugarcane crusher is not only to revive livers: “It’s good for anemia, circulation, immunity, flu, cough, inflammation,” Roni lists. He has been a sugarcane juice seller for 12 years and came up with the idea of making green juice five years ago when he decided to use ginger and lemon in the preparation. It was a guaranteed success, and he gained courage and confidence. Starting with sugarcane juice as a base, Roni gradually added herbs, fruits, vegetables, and greens. Today, the list of available ingredients is extensive: parsley, kale, pineapple, watermelon, passion fruit, mint, apple, eggplant… But customers can create their own “recipe” and ask Roni for detox tips. “In a way, I’m helping people, bringing well-being to everyone,” he says. “I work for pleasure, not just for money. It’s about being among people.”
