Masticating Juicers*
This are the Ros Perot of all juicers*, and they come with a hefty price tag depending on how deep your pockets are but where the quality of the juice you get is concerned, they are second to none!
The advantage of a masticating juicer* is that it makes it very easy for you to juice vegetables that are leafy and that do not have much body to them including grasses like wheat grass and barley grass. If you have used any other type of juicer you will know that it can get very annoying when your spinach leaves just get caught in the body of the machine, no extraction and ultimately wastage.
A masticating juicer can grind and crush leafy veggies extracting the life out of them and leave you with a pretty dry pulp which means very little wastage.The main advantage of this type of juicer* is that because of the method of extraction, there will be very little oxidation happening to the juice which means that you get high quality and very nutrient dense juice.
Functionally the machine makes things easier by separating the pulp from your fruit and vegetables placing it into a separate container on the juicer allowing for ease of manipulation and easy clean up.
The main disadvantage of a masticating juicer is the prep work involved. The chute is not big enough to accept whole fruits and vegetables so you might have to do a bit of chopping prior to juicing.
If you do not mind the prep work and you are willing to make the investment in the best quality juice, you will get a quality product that lasts a very long time with the best warranties out there.
Example of a masticating juicer:
The Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer – This is a great choice for a masticating juicer. The new model is around $280.00 and is also great with those hard to juice leaves.
