Juicer Recipes Now

If you are looking to buy your first juice extractor or are looking to get a new model then this guide will explain the fundamentals of the different electric juicers available. Even though there are many juice extractors on the market to choose from, it is good to know that there is only three basic types –
1) Centrifugal Juicers
2) Masticating Juicers (single gear juicers)
3) Triturating Juicers (twin gear juicers)

Centrifugal Juice Extractors

Centrifugal Juice extractors are made with powerful high speed motors that make juicing quick and easy. The motors can run anywhere between 3000RPM to 7000RPM. This makes the centrifugal juicers the fastest of juicers. If you have limited time in your day and want to make fresh juice as quick as possible then a centrifugal juice extractor is your best choice. Centrifugal juice extractors are generally the cheapest of the various electric juicers available, so they are also a great choice for a limited budget. The two models I recommend are the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and Breville Juice Fountain Elite

Centrifugal juice extractors work by placing produce into a feed chute where it comes into contact with a round spinning grater blade that looks similar to a cheese grater. The high speed of this disc then grinds and grates down produce rapidly. Then the centrifugal force created by the high RPM’s separates the pulp from the extracted juice allowing the juice to run out into the collecting container.

The are several main draw backs of centrifugal juice extractors. 1) They are noisy because of the sheer power at which they operate 2) The high RPM’s generate a lot of heat that will kill off some of the enzymes and antioxidants in the fruits and vegetables it juices and therefore produce a less nutritious juice. 3) Centrifugal juicers are not very good at juicing leafy greens.

Masticating Juice Extractors

Masticating juice extractors run at a much slower speed than centrifugal juicers and extract juice by a different mechanism. Masticating juicers use a single gear through which produce is broken down slowly and extensively to ring out a considerable amount of juice. So the juice yield, and therefore the nutritional value, is higher than that of a centrifugal juicer. The slow speed of operation also drastically reduces the amount of heat that fruits and vegetables are subjected to in comparison to a centrifugal juicer. This preserves a lot more of the living enzymes and antioxidants, producing a juice that is more health promoting. The low speed also makes masticating juicers very quiet machines. So we can see why masticating juicers are the popular choice for those who are focused on making healthier juice. Two of the best reviewed masticating juicers are the top selling Hurom HU-100 Slow Juicer and the Omega 8005 juicer.

The main downside of masticating juicers is that the juicing time takes longer than centrifugal juicers and that they are heavier machines.

Triturating Juice Extractors

Triturating juice extractors are the elite of juice extractors and work in the same way as a masticating juicer but with two gears rather than one. The gears run side by side and extremely close together. As vegetables pass through the gears they get just about every last drop of juice squeezed out of them at a very slow speed. So triturating juice extractors are a little more effective than single gear masticating juicers and produce a higher yield and less oxidation. For this reason triturating juicers provide the best benefits of juicing. These juicers are exceptionally good for wheat grass juicing and for other ‘thin’ vegetables like leafy greens. Naturally, triturating juice extractors are more expensive too. Recommended models include the Green Power Juicer and the Super Angel 3500.

Green Power Juicer
* Bio-ceramic & magnetic technology ionizes juice delaying oxidation keeping juice fresh for 72hrs!
* Juice fruit, vegetables, wheatgrass, leafy greens and even make mochi, baby food and tasty dessert!
