The benefits of juices are well known all over the world and a juicer is today a much sought after appliance in kitchens. A juicer aids in the juicing process by separating the juice and pulp from the fruits or vegetables. The pulp, which is collected in a separate container, is generally discarded but it can be used to make breads and muffins as well. Operated either manually or electrically, a juicer is an ideal appliance to ensure that you get your daily dose of fruit and vegetables. Those interested in fitness and the diet conscious will agree that fruit and vegetable juices are great for maintaining health and they are also tasty and refreshing. Dr Norman Walker invented the juicer in 1930. He obviously knew the benefits of drinking juice because he lived to a ripe old age of 108 years old!
A juicer that is easy to operate and to clean allows you to extract the most amount of juice possible, and also helps you control pulp levels. Knowing the basics of the different types of juicers available, you can find the best model for your needs. The main types of juicers are: centrifugal juicers which utilize a high speed extraction process (almost 10,000 revolutions per minute), masticating juicers which utilize a low speed extraction process (about 80–100 RPM) and citrus juicers which are used to juice citrus fruits only. It is also worth considering the slightly expensive triturating juicer which gives you the highest volume and the best quality juice. These juicers are equipped with two cylindrical gears which crush the fruits and vegetables.
Some juicers do not even need the fruits and vegetable to be chopped first. You can just put whole fruits and vegetables inside whole fruit centrifugal juicers. However, these juicers utilize extra power and may cause more noise.
Juice prepared at home is undoubtedly fresh and in its most natural state, which gives maximum health benefits. Millions of people all over the world are switching to juices for a healthier lifestyle. With recent evidence supporting the cancer fighting ability of juices and also how they help improve vitality and appearance, it’s not hard to be convinced about the health benefits.
Using a juicer to ensure you have the right amount of fruit and vegetables each day is one step towards a healthier life.
