Fruit juice, being one of the most important constituents of a healthy diet, every household needs a juicer. In fact, juicing provides many health benefits that exceed even the benefits of eating other solid foods. Due to presence of the antioxidants in juices, drinking of juices even fights the damaging effects of free radicals on your skin and thus giving the rejuvenating effects on your body. Since our body can easily absorb the nutrients from juices, it also enhances our digestive function, and supplies the enzymes vital for conversion of the food into tissues and energy.
While looking for the best juicer, there are certain things that you need to consider like the price, size, weight and versatility it offers. You need to know how much time you can spare each day for making the juices. Choose the one that best describes your lifestyle, and the one requires less effort and time to clean up. And of course, you need the juicer that’s the most efficient in terms of extracting the most juice from your food items.
Juicers are divided into three main categories such as centrifugal juicer, masticating juicer, and the twin geared juicer, also known as triturating juicers.
Generally, the centrifugal juicers and the masticating juicer are the two most popular types among many families and they are widely available in many markets as well. Centrifugal juicers are high-speed machines and they are less expensive when compared to its counterparts. But they tend to be annoying with the noise coming out from the machine when you operate them. However, one good thing is that it can provide you with your favorite health drink in a matter of a few minutes. It’s for someone who wants quick service and at the most affordable pricing.
The next option is the masticating juicer, which is especially good for juicing green leafy vegetables such as wheatgrass, spinach, parsley, cilantro etc. Compared to the centrifugal juicer, it’s much more efficient as it require less amount of fruits or vegetable to produce more juice. However, it’s a slow performer.
The other type of juicer is the triturating juicer, which is the most expensive. Speed-wise, they are even slower than the two but its slow speed is also its advantage. This machine has a lesser chance of being overheated as they are slow, and thus less oxidation from foam and less destruction of nutrients.
However, if you don’t mind the slow speed and want to go for the triturating or the masticating juicers, many store both online and offline offers clearance sale from time to time. So check it out, you just might get lucky with deep discounts.
