Types of Fruit Juicers

September 23rd, 2009

All of you health conscious people out there; if you think drinking fruit juice is the way to stay healthy and in shape, then you are probably right. But do you know what type of fruit juicer is best for you? That’s right-there are various types of fruit juicers which have their own pros and cons. You need to choose the one that best suits your needs and requirements.

So the next time, you go juicer shopping consider certain factors before making the purchase. This way you’ll be able to make an informed decision and buy the best type of fruit juicer for you and your family.

One of the most popular types of juicer is the centrifugal fruit juicer. These juicers are quite affordable and you can find them in almost all households. It shreds the fruit and holds up the pulp in the strainer giving you freshly squeezed juice. If you don’t like pulpy juices then this is the one for you. But pulp is usually the most nutritious part of the juice. So centrifugal juicer is not such a healthy option after all!

Then we have the citrus juicer which removes juice from only citrus fruits such as oranges, sweet lime, and tangerine. This again is a common type of fruit juicer available in the market. The drawback of this juicer is that it does not juice any fruits other than citrus fruits.

The manual press juicer is one of the most conventional juicers in the market. The juice is squeezed through cheesecloth giving absolutely pulp-free juices. It can be a slow process juicing from the manual juicers, so many people today don’t buy these juices for their homes. They prefer the electronic ones which are much more fast and convenient.

The other popular types of fruit juicers are the single gear and the twin gear juicers. The single gear juicer produces a foam free juice by crushing the produce to the walls of the fruit juicer. This type of juicer is best to make baby food because it produces mashed fruits that are easy for babies to swallow. The twin gear is an expensive juicer which has the highest ability to juice the maximum fruit out of the produce. They are very efficient as they can extract larger volumes of juice from fruits and vegetables.

Wheatgrass juicer produces juice from blades of wheatgrass. This is a healthy option for people who are very health conscious. However you cannot juice any other types of fruits and vegetables from these juicers.

It’s best to get juicers that can produce maximum juice from the fruits and vegetables. Some juicers also come with various attachments including one for juicing citrus fruits. These multi purpose fruit juicers are great kitchen appliances which give you value for your money.

Boosting your health with fruit juicers

September 16th, 2009

Boosting your health with fruit juicers

No one denies that it’s wise to eat plenty of fruit. But for some of us with stomach problems, eating whole apples, oranges or grapefruits is difficult. Fortunately, there are plenty of commercial fruit juicers on the market that you can use to quickly turn whole fruits into healthy, nutrient-rich fruit juices.

The good news is that there are fruit juicers out there for every budget and taste. The bad news is that it can sometimes be difficult to find the perfect fruit juicer for you.

The easiest way to find the right juicer, is to ask friends, family members or co-workers for their recommendation. The hope, of course, is that someone in your extended network of acquaintances uses a fruit juicer. These acquaintances can tell you what they like and don’t like about their particular juicer.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that you’ll actually know someone who uses a fruit juicer. If this is the case, you can find highly rated juicers on Web sites such as ConsumerReports.org. You can also search the Internet for online reviews of various fruit juicers. Again, this is a good way to learn about the positives and negatives of any fruit juicers that interest you.

Remember, the more expensive fruit juicers usually come with a host of extra features. You may not need, or ever use, these bonus features, though. If you simply want a basic juicer that can turn your morning orange into a glass of tasty juice, you can probably find an inexpensive model that’s more than up to the task.

Think about the cleaning process, too. Many juicers, both expensive ones and cheap models, are difficult to clean. If you want to spend less time in the kitchen, look into the cleaning process associated with any fruit juicer on your list of potentials. If cleaning is a burden, the odds are good that you’ll abandon your fruit juicer after three or four uses.

Picking the right fruit juicer can be a complicated process. But if you’re willing to do the research upfront, you’ll be more likely to find the right juicer for you. And by doing that, you’ll be boosting your health naturally.

Factors To Take Into Consideration When Selecting a Fruit Juicer

August 27th, 2009

When most of us buy a fruit juicer, we base our decision on things such as quality, speed, our needs, performance and of course price. These all are very important factors in our decisions. But to me, the most important factor is thinking about what the juicing needs are. Because all of the remaining factors are driven by the needs you might have for fruit juicing, for example, do you want to juice fruit or vegetables? If fruit then do you want to juice fruits such as apples or oranges. There are so many types and models of fruit juicers, that each one of them is mostly effective in juicing either a certain type of fruits or vegetables. There are some multi-purpose juicers but then they don’t do a very good job as compared to ones that are made for specific purpose such as just juicing vegetables or fruits.

Juicing needs:
If you can spend enough time deciding and narrowing down your juicing needs, you will have done the biggest part in your purchase and the time well spent. Because your juicing needs determine the type of fruit juicer you should buy to fulfill your needs.

Quality:
Quality of your fruit juicer is also very important. To me when it comes to looks vs. quality, I always go for the quality. So, deciding which type of quality you are looking for is very important because also leads to pricing factor. It’s not always true that a higher price makes a better quality product. Many times you can find something that is at a very good price but has a very good quality.

Performance:
This is also very important, because some juicers will juice very efficiently, smoothly and without hassle but then there are some that will take you a long time, will bounce up and down on the table and will make a lot of noise but less juice.

Speed:
Some people prefer fast speeds because fast fruit juicers are quick to juice, it does not take very long and usually they have the ability to juice whole fruit and vegetables. But then there are some folks that don’t like juicers with fast speeds. Because high speed juicers create more heat that can be transferred to the juice and which then can damage some of the nutrients. Low speed juicers also control the foaminess that is created while juicing.

Price:
Of course this could be the most significant factor when choosing a fruit and vegetable juicer. Depending on your needs and budget, you are going to select a machine. I am very adamant on buying a quality juicer that might cost a bit more but then might last longer as compared to buying something cheaper that could break down in matter of months.

As there are multiple brands available in the market that can fit these criterion but most famous ones are Breville Juicer, ACME Juicer and jack lalane juicer.
