Juicing

[Guest guest]

I don't think there is a juicer out there that doesn't take sometime to

clean. They all have several parts to them. Juicing has to become a habit

and cleaning up is part of that habit. I started juicing a year ago. My

mom years before bought me a juicer/Moulinex and looks EXACTLY like a Krups.

It's a centrofugal juicer and I'm goingto use it until it dies. It does a

great job considering there cost and the pulp is really dry. My mom has a

champion which is a great juicer/not centrofuge and that is the best one

because it squishes the juice from the pulp. The type I have is not " ideal "

in many ways because it's said that my type builds heat while seperating

juice from pulp and consequently that heat destroys the enzymes. I know

though the juice is just as if not as cold as the vegis when they come out

of the fridge and it doesn't make the juice frothy which is suppose to be

another downfall of centifuge. When my juicer no longer does it's job I'm

goingto get an Omega 3. It's recommended that you buy an inexpensive one if

you are new to juicing and don't know if you will sustain the " juicing for

life habit " since they do get spindy.

Sounds yummy! I was being good for several months and having a fruit smoothie each monring instead of cereal. Things have been a bit hectic at home lately though and not much room in the fridge so i have not had as much fruit in the fridge to start with or add to the smoothies. I really want to get back into this though as i did feel much better when i had my morning smoothies.

 

Thanks for the receipe )

You can go to Walmart and buy a pretty decent juicer for anywheres between $30 and $80.

This juicer may last you a year or three.

You can go to a healthfood store and buy a Champion for a couple of hundred.

You'll be handing this baby down to your grandchildren's grandchildren.

You can buy a Norwalk on the Internet for $2,500 and use if for juicing or pressing tinctures.

You'll be handing this one down to your greatgrandchildren too, plus you can pass along your tincture making business so that they start off with a great vocation LOL ;o)

There's a bunch of others in between the first and the last above, and they should all work fairly well.

Ya just need to do some research. Let your fingers do the walkin' and the talkin'. ;o)

What's the best juicer to juice fruits? by John H. Kohler Many times, I am asked the question, "Which is the best juicer to juice fruits?". In general, I will respond with one word - none. In my opinion, a blender would be a more suitable appliance. Why would I give this answer? Hopefully this article will shed some light on this subject.

Well, what about vegetables? Should I blend them too? I believe that the thick fiberous cell structure of vegetables make it very difficult to obtain maximum nutrient absorption from vegetables. Our digestive system is not made like a cow with three stomachs to effectively absorb the nutrients from vegetables (i.e.: carrots, beets, greens, etc) , so in my opinion, they should be juiced.. Blended vegetables are absorbed in about 2 hours ; whereas vegetables that are juiced take as little as 30 minutes to be digested. For a more complete article discussing this, click here

There are several reasons why I recommend blending fruits instead of juicing them. I will cover one at a time.

1. Many juicers are not efficient at juicing a wide variety of fruits. What will happen is that you will get a little juice, and quite a bit of pulp. In my opinion, this is a waste of the fruit.. I mean fruits are SOOOOO delicious (and sometimes expensive, if you don't grow your own!)

2. Fruits are here on earth for us to eat whole and complete. Remember Adam and Eve? I personally believe fruits should be eaten whole, and enjoyed. My rule of thumb-- strive to eat ripe fruit, that is as fresh as possible. True ripe fruit tastes so much better than store bought produce. (Ever eat a hard peach that didn't have any flavor?) Most produce is picked unripe since it needs to be shipped long distances to get to the store near you.. If you are not able to pick your own, I highly suggest visiting local farmers markets and supporting local farmers.

3. Did you know that we need fiber in our diet? Fiber is not a large component of juice as compared to the original whole fruit. I believe fiber is essential in our diet. I mostly juice veggies, I need to get my fiber somewhere-- from the fruits! Did you know that the fiber in the fruit helps to regulate the absorption of the sugar in the fruit into our bodies? When you drink fruit juice, without the fiber, the sugar is not regulated... which I don't think is a good thing, unless you need a "quick pick-me-up" or something.

What's the difference between blending and juicing?

When juicing, the whole produce goes into the juice, and two things come out: the juice and the pulp (or fiber). When blending, the whole produce goes in, and you get the whole fruit out..Although it is in really, really, small pieces. If you were to eat a fruit, and chew it really, really good, the fruit would be in really, really small pieces, so blending is similar to eating the fruit and chewing it really, really well.

When blending, you are still getting the WHOLE fruit, and thus, you are getting the food in more similar of a manner as nature has intended. You are also getting the important fiber that helps to regulate the absorption of sugar into our body.

Here is a list of fruits that most juicers will juice fairly well. Fruits in the other column are best blended, since most juicers don't handle them well.

 

 

 

 

 

Fruits better for blending

Fruits that tend to juice fairly well

 

berries (blueberries, strawberries)

watermelon with rind

 

papaya, bananas, kiwi, etc

apples

 

stone fruits (peaches, nectarines)

pears

 

tomatoes, avocado

citrus fruits

Do I still juice fruits? Yes, I do.. Usually the fruits listed above that juice fairly well.. Although now days, you will catch me with a blended smoothie with fruits almost everyday!

###########################

I've been juicing for a couple years and bought just about every

type of juice machine there is :o/ ranging from $40 to $450.

Here's what I've learned:

 

The reason why freshly made juice is much healthier than

bottled juice is fresh foods and fresh juice still have their

" enzymes " . Enzymes are required for digestion, but are fragile,

destroyed by temperatures from 104 to 140 F. All cooked food is

devoid of enzymes. What enzymes are not in the food your liver

must make at the cost of nutrition. The FDA doesn't consider

" cost of digestion " in their nutritional calculations. While milk can

take a couple hours to digest, freshly squeezed juice can take

literally seconds! It's very healthy.

 

 

TYPES OF JUICERS:

--------------

Manual Juicers

--------------

These hand cranked machines will juice fruits, but it is A LOT OF

WORK getting just a little bit of juice. They are fine for

wheatgrass juice because you only want to consume a couple

ounces of that at a time anyway.

http://www.bestjuicers.com/basics.html

 

=ULTRA CHEAP= wheatgrass juicer

search for item # 46921 here:

http://www.harborfreight.com/

 

-------------------

High Speed Juicers:

-------------------

This is the typical juicers you'll find at wal-mart costing about

$40. The disadvantage is the fiber is removed and wasted. Also

the high speed cutters also damage the quality of the food;

Experts agree that within just an hour of juicing the food has lost

HALF of it's nutrition, which is why they insist the juice must not

be stored even in the refrigerator, but consumed immediately

after juicing. These juicers will not juice wheatgrass. Cheap

juicers eject a soggy pulp (wasted juice). Proably the best quality

juicer of this type is the Jack Lalanne juicer ($150), tho I've never

seen one first hand:

http://www.jackspowerjuicer.com/

 

-------------------

Slow Speed Juicers:

-------------------

The claim is that by juicing in a slow speed machine it produces

a much higher quality juice which keeps it's nutrition longer; They

claim a day VS an hour with high speed juicers. I'll have to say of

all the juicers I've tried, it's juice from these machines that gives

me the most noticeable boost that is felt just seconds after

consuming. imho these produce the highest quality of juice.

These will juice wheatgrass.

 

http://www.bestjuicers.com/greenstar.html

Twin gear type - The GreenStar juicer probably produces the

best quality juice possible (similar design to the Champion

juicer). The disadvantage is the $375 price tag. The greenstar is

rather tedious to clean with several parts and lots of nooks and

crannies for food particles to stick. It's such a hassle to clean

that gets used less and less. It comes with a bizarre looking

cleaning brush which doesn't help that much. It handles greens

well, but has considerable difficulty with soft or overripe fruits

even with the special " soft fruit attachment " . It is built like a tank

and would probably last a lifetime.

 

http://www.bestjuicers.com/omega8002.html

Single auger juicer - The Omega 8002 ($250) is much easier to

clean than the greenstar, however there are a few parts and

cleaning the screen can be a bit tedious on which a vegetable

brush works best. This machine handles fruits really well, but

the small input can make juicing some foods (like greens)

somewhat time consuming. The only fruits it won't do are

bananas and strawberries. Very high quality juice. The pulp it

ejects is not quite as dry as what the greenstar kicks out.

 

--

Smoothie Makers/High Speed Blenders

--

These aren't technically " juicers " , but they definitely deserve

consideration. These machines can turn even frozen fruit and ice

into a very smooth drink, the closest thing to homemade V8, but

a lot healthier. The advantage is they don't waste the fiber as do

juicers, so you get about twice as much drink from the same

amount of food which lowers your grocery bill. Including the fiber

means they are a lot less likely cause you extra trips to the

bathroom like juicers can. Every juicer has its own particular

problems with certain foods, but high speed blenders and

smoothie makers CAN HANDLE ANY FOOD. The high speed

cutters do damage the nutrition. A big advantage of these is that

they do their job VERY QUICKLY and are MUCH EASIER AND

QUICKER TO CLEAN than any juicer, which means you'll use

one a lot more often - how often the machine gets used should

be considered when deciding which machine can best improve

your diet. All juicers have screens which must be cleared of food

particles using a brush, but a blender you can practically just

rinse it out. Plus you can use the blender's hopper to drink from

so there's no glass to wash. Blenders of course, do not juice

wheatgrass.

 

http://www.bestjuicers.com/vitamix.html

Vitamix is the oldest brand, but expensive, their professional

blenders start at $350. (i own a variable speed vitamix blender,

about $450) It's very nice.

 

<http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-8532729-9583300?as

in=B00005O0N1>

(if that link doesn't work search for item # 619561 here:

http://www.target.com/

At just $39 it is imho this smoothie maker is about the best deal

going. I haven't bought this particular brand (I own a vitamix). The

blades don't spin quite as fast as the vitamix (30,000 rpm VS

about 39,000), but how much speed do you need? I know my

vitamix does well set at lower speeds, in fact I prefer lower

speeds to preserve more nutrition. I were to start all over this is

the machine I'd get and the one I recommend. Unless you're

getting serious about getting into " juice fasting " , this smoothie

machine is all you need. It beats the socks off any juicer at that

price. imho the only thing better is that $250 Omega juicer.

 

I saw one smoothie machine advertised on TV which did it's job

in about 3 seconds! That's a whole lot faster than my expensive

vitamix. I didn't catch the brand name of that smoothie machine,

but I'm keeping an eye out for it ) If it does it that fast then it

probably preserves much more nutrition.

I know many of you read Dr. Mercola's newsletters, which stress the

importance of metabolic typing. He was once a proponent of juicing for

everyone, but

now feels that it may not be so beneficial for " protein types. "

 

The recent descriptions on this list of the benefits of juicing (thank you,

JoAnn!) make me wonder which way to go. I am a protein type, and juicing

sometimes disagrees with me, but I don't want to miss all those health benefits.

 

I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on how/whether metabolic typing and

juicing fit together.

 

Thanks,

Deb

I recently attended Mercola's seminar in Toronto.

 

Mercola himself is a protein type and he still juices. The difference is

that he doesn't use high-sugar vegetables like carrots, and he makes a

smaller amount (at least compared to what I make). I tend to make about

750mL to 1000mL at one go.

 

Also keep in mind that your metabolic type can shift around depending on

other things, including exercise. I noticed that my body craves fat and

protein on the days after I do a hard workout in the gym, and responds

favorably.

 

According to metabolic typing I'm a 'mixed' type with a heavy tendency

towards protein-type. I don't bother with worrying about metabolic typing,

because I've become very in tune with my body and know what works and what

doesn't.

I juice daily and heartily recommend it for anyone, especially fighting

Does anyone here do juicing and if so, do you think Greenstar or

Greenpower juicers are good? I'm thinking of buying a Greenstar which

I heard is made by same maker as Greenpower machines but a little less

I juice daily as well. The BEST juicer would be the Norwalk Juicer. Expensive

but lifelong.

Too pricey then I might suggest the Champion Juicer.

Good morning June and Barb,

My Jack's juicer has been going strong for two years now and I love it! The entire family juices every morning (four of us), and it does not take much fresh organic produce to make a nice 8 to 12 oz glass of juice. We make mostly carrot/apple, and I sometimes use the pulp to make fresh organic carrot/apple bread. I also mix it into my cats homemade food with their organic cooked chicken and some peas. They love it too! cleanup is easy as well. Hope this helps:) Lynn

[Guest guest]

Hi Marci,

 

I think you can make juice in advance if you fill a canning jar to the

top (leaving no room for air), promptly seal and refrigerate. Once it's

open you have to consume it quickly as the enzymes will immediately

begin to degrade. At least that's what I've read.

Marci, from what I understand, freshly squeezed juice looses its freshness

and live enzymes after about 1-2 hours. So if that's the reason you're

juicing, then yes, you need to drink it right away.

My book states that a spoon of vitamin C powder or a squeeze of lemon juice help to preserve for a little longer and prevents the juice from going slightly brown ( oxidising) and damaging the nutrient content of the juice

the juicer sold by home shopping network is great. jack lalanne juicer. I got one and love it. I've had the juiceman juicer. didn't like it as well as the lalanne one. gave it away to my sister. the lalanne juicer is easy to use and clean. centrifugal but so easy to use that you use it! I also have an expensive green power juicer, but i reach for the lalanne one. it's about $125. it's also at costco. worth every penny. you can juice whole apples and carrots. cuts down on prep time and cleanup is very easy, as I said. regarding vitamix blender. i have one as well. it is not a juicer. the vitamix and blends in general grind whole foods. the juicers extract the juice. they have separate functions but both fit into a healthy eating plan. i'd get one of each. actually, i do have one or two of each! regarding cheaper juicers -- under $100. they probably don't work very well and/or are harder to use. the harder a juicer is to use, the less you will use it. get a reasonably good one, like the lalanne or champion (another favorite) so you can give juicing a good chance to see if it works for you. good luck!

I really think that the Acme Juicerator is the best you can get.

 

I have a really old one, probably 40 or 50 years old and it still

works good, it spins out the juice so good, there is really nothing

left behind except some fiber stuff. It's so powerful.

 

New ones are expensive, $200, but I think it's the best, so many

others just waste too much juice.

 

Maybe you can find one at a garage sale cheap.

My favorite all around juicer is the champion simply because it's so tough. It's one of those you'll be handing down to your grandchildren.

My in-laws used to live in Wyoming until recently. They have found Champions in very

good condition at Garage sales for $5. I love mine and have had it for about 15 yrs.

A Vit-Mix will blend them into a juice, but I've not heard of others doing so.

In order to get this to happen with a regular juicer, you might have to mix some distilled water in with the veggies or fruit.
