Centrifugal Juicers*
Centrifugal juicers are the most common juicer* type can be found in any most major department stores. They are not exactly Ros Perot but they run a very close third.
They are budget friendly and all in all, get the job done. They work by grating the fruit or vegetable into tiny pieces and extracting the juice through a spinning mechanism at very high speeds.
The coolest part of a centrifugal juicer apart from their affordability, is the fact that some of them allow you to place whole fruits and vegetables down the chute making prep work practically non existent.
Literally you can turn whole fruits and veggies straight from the garden (or supermarket) into nutrient rich juice in minutes. Sounds perfect right? Well it is, almost!
There are a few disadvantages to using a centrifugal juicer. First is that the pulp is not as dry as it is with a triturating or even a masticating juicer* which signifies that it isn’t getting all the juice that it can out of the produce. Another disadvantage is that these juicers are known for producing foam. In a mixed drink at a bar foam might look very appealing, but for your juices, foam speeds up oxidation which means one thing, quick and sudden spoilage.
Centrifugal juicers* will work well enough and they are a good choice if you are only just getting started with juicing. Just be sure to add a little piece of lemon to all the juices you make to slow down oxidation.
Examples of centrifugal juicers:
Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine – This is a great starter budget friendly machine and the price starts at around $100.00
Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite – This centrifugal juicer is easy to use, has great reviews but again there might be questions on the quality of leafy green juicing.
