by Mike Suno There is a huge selection in juicers that vary greatly in quality and price. Many people will naturally make the mistake of distinguishing a juicer by its price relative to what else is on the shelf. But when it comes to juicers, you really do get what you pay for and a cheap juicer cannot match the performance and quality you get with a power juicer. The worst part is that someone who is just beginning to juice their own fruits and vegetables for the first time would not know if the juice is of inferior quality due to the poor performance of their juicer. The most important thing is the speed at which the blades operate. A good juicer runs at much lower speeds than a cheap machine. Too much speed means a lot more damage to the natural goodness of the juice. We want our juices to be a raw as possible and the heat is like cooking the ingredients which breaks down or alters the structures of enzymes and nutrients. This defeats the purpose of juicing in the first place, which is to feed your body high concentrations of nutrients in its most natural form. A good blender will operate at about 80 RPM’s to minimize the effect of heating the elements in your juice. Too much high speed motion of the blades causes more than just heat damage. Micro nutrients and other goodies contained in the juices are vulnerable to impact, as anything else that has physical form in this world. The impact shock can also alter the

chemical composition of the nutrients. Juicing also exposes the ingredients to oxidation but slow blades greatly reduces the degree of oxidation. A lesser consideration for getting a higher quality blender is the amount of noise the machine generates. For under a hundred dollars difference can mean the difference from scaring your cats away to being able to juice while still talking on the phone. When you pay a little extra for a better model, you are also getting the ingenuity of design. In general, juicers can be tough to clean but a well designed model takes the cleaning process into consideration and could make a big difference when you are deciding whether or not to juice today. Pulp collecting compartments that are easily removable makes cleaning breeze. Some brands are so well designed in this area it can be rinsed and cleaned in five minutes. Then comes the ingredients that the juicers are built for. Harder ingredients like leafy greens and wheat grass is tougher and cannot be handled by softer juicers such as a centrifugal juicer, which is designed to only handle citrus fruit and other soft ingredients. It is important for anyone to incorporate vegetable juicing just as equally as fruit so unless there is already a strong enough juicer sitting around, there is no reason to buy a juicer that can’t juice hard ingredients.
