Best Slow Masticating Juicer

Leading a fit and healthy lifestyle is very important to your overall well-being, so I went on a quest to find the best slow masticating juicer.

Masticating, or slow, juicers have become very popular today! Due to the lack of heat and oxidation from their slower motors, the juices they can produce are packed with a much higher nutritional content.

Everywhere I turn, I have been hearing about the health benefits of juicing, and how popular it is becoming. I have also talked to others who have tried supplementing their diets with fresh juices, and along with exercise, say that it has worked for them in shedding excess pounds.

I have tried purchasing the pre-packaged juices online before, and along with shipping fees, became a very expensive option for me.

It was difficult to understand why there were other additional ingredients added to these juices. While observing the ingredients label on the back of the bottles, it looked like these juices were packed with extra sugar and preservatives that I couldn’t even pronounce, not to mention most of what I ordered seemed to be from concentrate.

Then I thought wouldn’t it be great if I could blend up my own fresh juices at home, actually know what I am putting into them, and save some money in the process?

Do you normally spend way too much time pre-chopping your fruits piece by piece before juicing? Are you worried that your children might mistakenly stick their fingers into the feed chute causing serious injury?

When it comes to juicing whole fruits, you will definitely need a juicer with a wider chute than your average one in order to easily accommodate these larger ingredients, and which has more resistance to clogging. This type of setup also greatly reduces preparation and cleanup time. Further, the less chopping of the ingredients that has to be performed also helps to reduce oxidation.

If these features are important to you, I think you’ll find this Argus Le Slow Masticating Juicer is just the solution for you.

This juicer contains a 3 inch feed chute that doesn’t need a lot of ingredient pre-preparation, such as chopping, therefore greatly reducing the nutritional value loss that comes with the cutting of fruits.

The feed chute is wide enough to easily drop in an entire orange or apple, and features a rotatable cover to help prevent children from sticking their hands in, causing serious injuries.

It yields a 10% higher amount of juice over its Centrifugal juicer counterpart, and balances the juice yield and juice taste with its small mesh filter.

The low-speed rotation eliminates oxidation and retains more enzymes, and all parts are made of baby food grade anti-oxidation materials.

Personally, the best vertical masticating juicer is this Omega VRT350, which features the high efficiency of a masticating style juicer in a vertical design.

The vertical design takes up much less counter space and from a physics point of view, makes much more sense to me.

The internal auger and gravity help to pull the food through the juicer, requiring less pushing force. Its motor is also powerful enough to juice tougher ingredients such as Wheatgrass, which Centrifugal type juicers often have a hard time juicing. Additionally, foods that are being juiced are not heated up in the juicing process, due its slower speeds.

The auger itself features a screw design allowing for a more efficient pressing and squeezing of ingredients for juice extraction. The juicer comes with a black, plastic hopper located at the top, with a pusher for any extra assistance in pushing ingredients through.

The hopper simply attaches to the bowl, and then to the base, making this juicer very easy to assemble.

It features 2 spouts – one spout for the fresh extracted juice and another for the ejected pulp, and also includes a pair of 64 ounce containers. If you are juicing different types of ingredients, you can simply pour water into the chute between sessions to clean the juicer.

Operation is also very quiet, so you can easily talk while the juicer is running.

A cold press juicer can meet all your nutritional needs, and may help those who need to boost their immune systems.

The low juicing speed prevents oxidation, which helps to maintain and protect healthy enzymes, which can allow storage of the juice without degradation up to 72 hours.

I found this Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer Masticating Juicer to be simple to use, while its powerful motor utilizes a low speed preventing heat build up, clogging, nor foaming.

It features a GE Ultem Auger made from very strong plastics and an incredibly powerful 2 horsepower motor, allowing for efficient pulp ejection and a high juice yield.

Its dual stage juice processing system does an amazing job of extracting the highest amount of juice from Wheatgrass, leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits. This juicer is so versatile it even minces garlic and herbs, grinds coffee and spices, extrudes pasta, whips up soy milk, makes baby foods, and even turns nuts into nut butters.

I am looking forward to the health benefits of making my own juices at home, as well as my new weight loss journey and healthier lifestyle that comes with it!
