For many of those that may be new to juicing, understanding the differences between types of juicers may be one of the most challenging parts of getting started. In honor of the Best You Giveaway in which we will be giving out two books focusing on Smoothies and Fresh Juices from Super food Juices: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Nutrient-Dense Recipes, and Super food Smoothies: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Nutrient-dense Recipes by Julie Morris. With the help of the words of Julie Morris and our expertise in juicing we will be providing you simple and easy to understand explanations into the word of juicing.
Smoothies
When fruit and vegetables are chopped, and pressed by turning blades at high speeds to make juice with fiber. This a popular option is chosen by many home users. Blending requires the least amount of time, cleaning, and in most cases, is the most affordable.
The Good:
The fiber in smoothies helps slow down the release of sugar into the body. This can cause your body to stay feeling good for longer due to the slow release of sugar.
It only takes a few minutes to make.
Can be replaced meals.
Requires minimal cleaning.
More variety with ingredients than fresh juice like adding yogurt, milk, and nuts to smoothies.
Fresh Juice
The biggest difference juicing and using a blender is the separation of pulp (fiber). Drinking juice with no pulp helps the body absorb nutrients better. Drinking fresh juice results in the body absorbing all the nutrients in the juice.
The Good:
The body can absorb more nutrients from fruits and vegetables immediately.
Immediate rush of energy.
Minimal digestion needed. Benefiting those with digestive disorders or sensitive stomach.
One of the easiest ways to add veggies to your diet.
Less Filling.
Types of Juicers Used to Make Fresh Juice:
Cold pressed- This refers to juice that is created with a slow grind juicer. It is believed to ensure the maximum number of nutrients and enzymes due to its process and has a longer shelf life but does require more labor.
Masticating Juicer- (Slow Juicer) This type of juicer uses slow grinding at a single gear to juice. Masticating juicers are best known for their advantage juicing greens, juicing harder fruits and vegetables may prove to be more of a challenge.
Triturating Juicers- (Twin Gear) This type of juicer uses a slow grind and a twin gear to juice. Triturating juicers are known to be more versatile in that they can be used for more than just juicing but can also make baby food and nut butters. Like the masticating juicer, this juicer requires more work for juicing harder fruits since it requires that the hard vegetables be cut before juicing. Users must also apply more force when feeding the fruits and vegetables.
Norwalk Juicer – (Hydraulic Press) This type of juicer shreds the produce similar to a food processor to cut up the produce. It then uses a hydraulic press to extract the juice that is created during the first step. This juicer requires the user to move the bags after the pressing process to the hydraulic press and is limited to one bag at a time even while the shredding side is not being used. The juicer also requires the user to wash the reusable bags after every use. This juicer comes in at the highest price out of the juicers listed at $2,000. This is also only available as a home model and is not NSF certified for commercial use. The go to cold press commercial juicer right now is the Good Nature brand and is a large back of house model that is usually used for bottling the cold pressed juice.
Centrifugal- This is the most common type of juicer that works by inserting the fruits and vegetables through a chute and then the grating disc shreds the produce into a pulp that is then turned into juice by the centrifugal spinning of the basket. It is great for those that are looking to spend minimal time juicing. This juicer works best when juicing hard fruits and vegetables like carrots and apples. This juicer is quick, most models have the auto-ejection for the pulp which allows for continuous juicing until the pulp bin is full. If the model you choose has a large chute you also do not have to cut up the produce which also speeds up the process.
