Best Juicer To Buy Today

As people are becoming more aware of the many health benefits of juicing, the demand for juice extractors has led to many new juicer designs.

So what are the best juicers on the market today?

There are several types of juicers for juicing fruits and vegetables.

Centrifugal Juicers are generally the most affordable and therefore the most popular consumer juicers. A centrifugal juicer uses high-speed centrifugal force to quickly extract juice. You put the fruits and vegetables in the feeding tube and into a spinning basket, and juice will be produced in seconds. This method of juicing creates a lot of oxygen bubbles, so the juice must be consumed right away as the oxidation will cause loss of nutrients.

Masticating Juicers are Single Gear Juicers that use a single rotating grinder to slowly grind fruits and vegetables. The resulting juice has less oxygen bubbles and is less foamy. This method of juicing allows the preservation of nutrients, and the juice can be stored a little longer before nutrients are lost.

Triturating Juicers are Twin Gear Juicers that extract fruits and vegetables by using two interlocking grinders. Triturating Juicers use even slower speed to extract juice, but they are also the most efficient types of juicers that produce the most vitamins and nutrients.

For citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, there are specially designed Citrus Juicers that use motorized mechanism or manual press mechanic process.
