There are many different vegetable juicers on the market today. And the great thing about juicers is that they aren't just for juicing vegetables.
You can do all sorts of things with your juicer, including making peanut butter and other nut butters, applesauce, coconut milk, baby foods, fruit sauces, grated vegetables and nuts, plus ice creams and sherbets.
One of the most important features of a juicer is that it needs to have automatic pulp ejection. This means that as you feed in your vegetables or other ingredients into the juicer you are able to do it continuously, without having to stop for intermittent cleaning.
There are also specialized juicers for wheat and barley grasses. These are a little different than a traditional vegetable juicer in that the motor turns at a slower rate and uses less heat thereby preserving more essential nutrients. Some grass juicers are also manually operated.
There are basically three different kinds of juicers when it comes to mechanical operation. There are centrifugal juicers, which we don't recommend because you have to empty the pulp and they don't allow for continuous juicing.
The second kind is called a masticating juicer which chew up your fruits and vegetables and then press the pulp to extract the juice. The Champion Juicer is an example of a masticating juicer.
And the third kind of juicer is called a gear juicer. There are single and twin gear juicers. These juicers are considered by many to be the best for juice extraction because they produce juice with the highest nutritional content. Twin gear juicers also are best for what and barley grass juicing.
