If you want to create your own healthy and nutritious juices, you need to get yourself a juicer or juicing machine. There are plenty that are produced thanks to the increase in the popularity of juicing. But not all the machines will create good quality drinks. Here are some tips on making sure that you get the best juicing machine that is going to last you a long time and produce healthy juices.
There are 2 types of juicer that are commonly used – centrifugal juicers and masticating juicers. The most popular type is the centrifugal juicer. These have the big advantage of being cheaper and readily available from electrical retailers. In fact many of the big name brands like Braun, Panasonic, Philips and Magimix make centrifugal juicers.
The big disadvantage of the centrifugal juicer is that as they spin very fast they oxidize the juice. This can lead to the juice losing nutrients very quickly after being created. They are also not as efficient at removing juice as masticating juicers.
Masticating juicers have teeth on the blades that cut through the produce that is placed in the juicer. This means that they do not have to spin as quickly. They produce a better quality and quantity of juice. These are a more specialist purchase and you may need to order these from the Internet or through mail order. Unfortunately they are more expensive then a centrifugal juicer.
A well-known masticating model is the Champion juicer. This is a robust machine that will last for years to come. It has stood the test of time having been available for several decades. It is very efficient at juicing soft fruit and vegetables but you will need a specialist press if you want to juice wheatgrass.
The Oscar Vital Max juicer is another machine worthy of mention. It is widely regarded as the best single auger juicer and will handle fruit, vegetables and grasses.
Either of these juicers will provide years of service and give you wholesome, nutritious juices. Once you’ve started using it, you’ll wonder who you ever managed before.
