Juicers Guide
Juices extracted at home are decidedly better than their packaged and pasteurized counterparts in terms of quality and nutrition. When you extract the juice at your home you can try out several fruit and vegetable combinations and options that are otherwise not available in the packaged format. This guide would help you in selecting the appropriate juicer according to your requirements.
Citrus juicers extract the juice of the citrus fruits and have rotating reamers. It is better to buy a juicer with a two-way reamer movement because they extract more juice and are faster than juicers with the single direction reamer movement. Citrus juicers are available attachments for large as well as small citrus fruits.
The juicers for whole produce like apple, peach, pineapple etc are available in centrifugal and masticator versions. The centrifugal juicer chops the whole fruits in fine particles and spins them in a basket for juice extraction. The juicers that eject the pulp from the basket extract less juice when compared to the ones that retain the pulp in the basket. The masticators mesh the whole fruits into pulp and then squeeze it through a screen to extract the juice. Masticators yield more juice than the centrifugal juicers, however they are more expensive that the latter.
Buy a juicer that has a pulp adjustment factor so that you can have the juice with or without pulp or with a desired pulp ratio for adequate fiber balance. If you intend to use the juicer regularly and for hard produce you should buy a sturdy juicer with a tough motor.
Drinking juice is very healthy; however, most of the home juicers lie unused for weeks and months together because of the cumbersome cleaning process after the juicing. Buy a juicer that has fewer parts to clean and that is easy to clean up. It is better that you buy a juicer that has parts that are dishwasher safe.
Juicers are available with host of cool features and options like clear juice pitcher, juice-measuring cups, pouring spouts, cord storage, and noise reduction.
Tip: Buy a juicer that extracts more juice, is easy to operate and clean and has the pulp adjustment feature.
