What is a masticating juicer?

By Daniel Williams

As you will soon discover there are a number of different juicers available to purchase. These various juicers allow you to extract juice from fresh fruit and vegetables rather than purchasing that ready prepared in your local grocery store. Not only is preparing your own juice more beneficial to your health but can save you money as well. The types of equipment for extracting juice today are centrifugal or masticating juicers.

Below we look at what the benefits are to be had from owning a masticating juicer rather than some of the other juicers that are available. However, you first need to understand a bit about how these particular juicers operate. Whereas the centrifugal juicer will shred the pulp at high speed using the blades contained within it a masticating juicer actually uses the blades at slow speed to chew up the pulp of the fruit or vegetables.

Normally these machines will be fitted with either one or two cutters and most people choose the single blade versions as they often cost the less. But if you are someone who wants to be able to extract the juice from hard fruits (apples) and vegetables (carrots) or even wheatgrass juice the models that have the double cutters are the best option for you.

So just what are the benefits from having a masticating juicer instead of a centrifugal one?

1. First off because these operate at much lower speeds as they extract the juice from the pulp of the food they create far less oxygen as well. Because of this the shelf life of the juice that you extract using one of these juicers is quite a bit longer than if you were to use the more common sort of centrifugal juicer.

2. To extract the juice from the fruit and vegetables placed into this type of juicer it goes through a number of different stages. This helps to breakdown the fiber in the food more effectively which causes more of the nutrients that our bodies need to pass into the juice rather than staying in the pulp.

3. As mentioned these means can cope with any hardness of fruit or vegetable and even placing wheatgrass into the masticating juicer is not a problem. So rather than spending considerable sums purchasing a wheatgrass juicer instead you can employ the services of a masticating juicer instead.

4. These machines are not only ideal for creating good amounts of fresh juice from fruit and vegetables but they have found to have other uses as well. Some mothers use theirs for producing healthy nutritional meals for their baby.

5. These juicers tend to make far less noise than many of the other models of juicers. Also these ones are a lot easier to clean once they have been used.

Above we have given just a few reasons why it is worth considering buying a masticating juicer instead of a centrifugal one. A quick search online and you will see that there are plenty of different types to select from you just need to decide beforehand how much you can afford to spend on it. - 17274
