Guide to Choosing a Juicer

Firstly, the juicers we feature on our website www.juiceland.co.uk are selected on the basis of quality, ease of use and reliability and they are all serviced in the UK by reputable manufacturers or their agents. We do not sell cheap electrical juicers as the ones we have tested have generally been found to be of poor quality, difficult to clean or extremely unreliable and we tend to leave these to the high street stores to sell. With cheaper models, the motors and integral parts tend not to be as refined or well made as with the more expensive juicers which can result in your juicer making frequent trips to and from the warranty provider or ending up in the recycling bin – these factors can often be enough to turn the user off juicing for good! We hope that the reasons you have visited our website are because you are either serious about nutrition or simply looking for a more user friendly or reliable model.

What is Juicing?

Juicing is the separation of the liquid (juice) from the fibre (often referred to as the pulp). The juicing process breaks down the cells of the produce which releases the liquids and a sieve like screen filters the juice in to one receptacle and the fibres are discarded in to a separate container.

Why would we want to do this – why not just eat the produce?

Removing the fibre from fruits, vegetables and herbs allows us to release the essential nutrients in liquid form, which otherwise would take a lot of time and chewing to eat. Liquid juice is also much easier for the body to absorb and digest. As we are now being encouraged to eat a bare minimum of 5 different portions of fruit and vegetables per day – juicing is an excellent way to get these nutrients in to our bodies, especially the foods that you never get round to eating with your everyday meals.

Apart from salads, most vegetables are cooked before being eaten in the western diet, unfortunately cooking foods destroys a significant proportion of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes contained in them as these essential nutrients are volatile to temperatures above 118ºF. Cooking also changes the atomic structure of the molecules – making it more difficult for the body to absorb and digest. Fruit and vegetables in their uncooked state are often referred to as ‘Raw Foods’ and there is now a large number of everyday people following a strict ‘Raw Food’ lifestyle. The use of natural ‘Raw Foods’ in treating cancer and other serious illnesses has proved successful where modern conventional medicine has failed.

Raw juice should be consumed by everyone but it is strongly recommended that juice be taken in moderation and should be made up from different food groups. A good indication of what nutrients are present in fruits and vegetables is clearly presented in the colour of the produce. Obviously, this is only a rough guide and anybody serious about nutrition should read as much as possible on the subject – there are various Nutrition Books and Juicing Books on our website on these subjects. Finally, drinking juice should never be considered a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables but should be looked on as an accompaniment to a good and varied diet.

Food Groups

Green Vegetables: Green juices cleanse the body of pollutants and have a rejuvenating effect. Made from a variety of green vegetables and herbs, green juices are rich in chlorophyll which helps to purify the blood, build red blood cells, detoxify and heal the body, and provide the body with fast energy. Green juices can be made with alfalfa sprouts, cabbage, kale, dandelion greens, spinach, parsley, watercress and any other green vegetables and herbs including wheatgrass. These juices can be very strong tasting and you may have to sweeten or dilute them, try adding fresh carrot and/or apple juice or simply dilute with filtered water. Although green juices have great health benefits, they should be consumed in moderation. Try drinking about 8 to 10 fluid ounces (250-300ml) a day.

Other Vegetables: Fresh vegetable juices are restorers and builders. They boost the immune system, remove acid wastes, and balance the metabolism. They also aid in the control of obesity by removing excess body fat. Among the most healthy and delicious of the vegetable juices are beet, cabbage, carrot, celery, cucumber, turnip. Carrot juice is probably the most popular of the juices and is packed with beta-carotene which is the vitamin A precursor that helps fight cancer. Carrots are the sweetest of the vegetables and their juice is not just delicious on its own but is great for mixing with other vegetables to increase their appeal. On the other hand, strong-flavoured vegetables like broccoli, white cabbage, celery, onions, parsley, rutabaga, and turnips, for instance – should be used in small amounts only. Garlic is also a great addition to vegetable drinks in small amounts. For the greatest health benefits, use many different vegetables when making your juices. That way, you will provide your body with a variety of important nutrients.

Fruits: Fruit juices help to cleanse the body and nourish it with important nutrients, including cancer fighting antioxidants. Although any fruit can be used, certain juices are particularly healthy and delicious compared to others. One favourite cleansing juice is watermelon – to make this refreshing drink, place watermelon with the rind into the juicer. Other delicious juices can be made with apples, berries, citrus fruits, kiwi, melons, pears or just about any fruit that you want to use. You can enjoy fruit juices at any time of the day and about 10 to 12 fluid ounces (300-350ml) per day is recommended.

Again we cannot stress enough that you should vary your intake of juice to include produce from all these food groups – try mixing these groups to come up with your own wonderful cocktails.

Types of Juicer

We will now explain the different types of juicers and their particular advantages and disadvantages.

Centrifugal Juicers (High-Speed)

These type of juicers work by using centrifugal force to extract the juice. The fruits and vegetables are pushed down a feed tube on to a flat grating blade which is spinning at anything up to 12,000 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). The speed of the grater effectively shreds the produce as it touches it and the centrifugal force that is created underneath the blade, sucks the liquid through tiny holes in the filter basket. Juice is dispensed into a receptacle and the fibre is discarded.

Pulp Ejection Systems: Some juicers utilise a Pulp Ejection system where the pulp is flung upwards and discarded into a separate container so that you can continue juicing large volumes before having to empty the waste basket. These models include the L’Equip 110.5 juicer, the L’Equip XL juicer and the Waring WJX50 juicer.

Internal Storage Systems: Others machines have an internal collection basket to collect the pulp, this limits the amount of juice that can be produced to a couple of glasses before the basket has to be emptied. These models include the Magimix Le Duo XL juicer and the Waring PJC44 juicer. These juicers seem to produce a sligtly better yeild that the pulp ejectors and they usually run at lower speeds of around 3000 RPM.

Whole Fruit Centrifugal Juicers: These machines have a wide mouthed feed tube which can usually fit a whole apple in without chopping it up first. Obviously, the benefit of not having to chop up the produce before feeding it through the machine is appealing to everyone but due to the wide opening, sometimes produce can bypass the blade without being juiced. We have hand picked a few whole fruit juicers that we believe offer better results than those on the high street and achieve this with motors that are far more reliable – these include the L’Equip XL juicer, Magimix Le Duo XL juicer. We also sell the Breville JE4 juicer which is currently the best whole fruit juicer for the home.

Advantages: These juicers are generally very easy to use, quick at producing juice and the juice quality is good. They are a good entry-level choice of juicer to start with if you are not sure that you will continue juicing on a regular basis. Can generally produce between 1-2 litres of juice per minute.

Disadvantages: These juicers whip in oxygen at high speed thus oxidising the juice; this accelerates the deterioration in the appearance of the juice and reduces its shelf-life. Juice produced from these types of juicers should be drank immediately – it cannot be stored successfully. This juicing process is not as effective when juicing leafy produce and therefore they are not recommended for juicing wheatgrass and other leafy greens such as spinach on a regular basis. Leafy greens can be fed through by screwing them up in to a ball and feeding through between firmer produce but the yield produce is nowhere near as good as that produced with a slow speed juicer. Also, the pulp will be wetter in comparison to slow speed juicers which indicates that not as much juice is being extracted. They can also be slightly noisy due to the motor and blade operating at high speed.

Masticating Juicers (Slow Speed)

These type of juicers utilise a slow speed extraction process of between 70 RPM and 160 RPM (depending on the juicer) to prevent oxygen affecting the juice. There are different types of masticating juicers that use different extraction methods. All electric masticating juicers with the exception of the Angel Juicer, can also produce smoothies, purees, salsas, sorbets, ice creams and more by using the included homogenising screen.

Single Auger Juicers: With these machines, all manner of produce can be juiced successfully including wheatgrass. The produce has to be chopped up and is then fed through the feed tube on to a large slow turning screw known as an auger. The auger crushes the produce and forces it through the filter screen thus separating the juice from the fibre. If you have ever used a mincer then you will have roughly seen how this type of juicer works. Juicers in this category are slightly more expensive than the centrifugal type but do include more functionality over the high speed machines. Models include the manual
Z-Star juicer, and the electric Compact 10 in 1 juicer, the L’Equip Omni juicer, the Samson 6 in 1 juicer and the Oscar VitalMax Juicer. Single auger juicers produce a slightly better yield of juice than high speed machines and they are also whisper quiet in operation.

Advantages: Excellent quality juice as it has not been affected by oxygen. This allows most juices to be stored for up to 48 hours in a refrigerator with minimal loss of appearance or nutritional value. They come with extra attachments for making noodles and pasta and also a separate homogenising screen for making smoothies, purees, salsas, peanut butter and even truffles. Juice can be made in batches and, stored in an airtight container and taken to work or school – you are not tied to only drinking juice when you’re at home. Juice can also be frozen with minimal loss of nutrients, so its a good way to utilise all the produce that usually gets thrown away. Due to the design of the feeding chamber, these juices pretty much self feed and very little effort is required on the users behalf to push the produce through. Suitable for those people with very little hand strength of if suffering from arthritis.

Disadvantages: It’s a slower process compared to a centrifugal juicer, the obvious difference is in the RPM (average of 100 RPM compared to 10,000 RPM). Also, the produce needs to be chopped smaller to fit the smaller feed chute. Unfortunately, the slower speed is the price you have to pay to get the best quality juice. To get an idea of how long this process takes, it would take 5 minutes to produce 1 litre of juice.

The Champion juicer: The original masticating juicer has been around for over 50 years. The Champion juicer utilises a cutter that has tiny teeth running along it which shreds and chews the produce. It operates at 1,500 RPM so sits between a high speed and a slow speed juicer. It is a commercial grade juicer which you will find in bars and restaurants around the country. This is one of our best-selling juicers due to the fact that it is freakishly well built and will probably last a life-time.

Advantages: Especially good at chewing through harder produce like carrots and apples. Includes an extra screen for making smoothies, purees, salsas, peanut butter and even truffles. An optional screen for juicing softer fruits can be purchased from us separately and there is also an optional Grain Mill for milling your own flour and grinding coffee. This is an extremely robust machine. Its commercial capability means that it can be run for longer than
other domestic models without giving it a breather. It also has a feed chute of 45mm which is the biggest in the professional range and copes with problem produce like Cox’s apples better than others.

Disadvantages: Leafy greens have to be passed through in small amounts with harder produce. When juicing larger volumes of fibrous vegetables and greens, there can be a slight increase in temperature of the juice from friction. Refrigerating produce prior to use does alleviate this. However, providing you are happy to juice any greens with plenty of carrot and apple, this should never happen. The Champion is not suitable for juicing wheatgrass so we currently supply the Lexen manual juicer free of charge to compliment the Champion. Also, due to the extraction process a certain amount of force is required to push the produce through the cutter so would prove difficult for those people with very little hand strength of if suffering from arthritis.

Twin Gear Juicers: We believe these to be the most efficient juicers out there. They utilise two stainless steel cylindrical rollers that sit side by side. The produce is slowly drawn through a miniscule gap in the rollers and pulverised by sharp teeth. This process breaks the produce down more than any other and in turn produces the best quality juice and the highest yield of all the juicers we sell. We always recommend these juicers first if your budget allows. Different models have their own unique selling points but they all produce exceptional results. Models include the Green Star juicer, the Green Power juicer and the all Stainless Steel Angel juicer.

Advantages: The best quality juice you are going to get and has a 48 hour shelf-life. Although these type of juicers cost significantly more than the others, the savings made due to the gain in yield and nutritional value will pay for itself in the long-term. They have separate filter screens for juicing different types of produce and the build quality is excellent. Excellent at all leafy greens and wheatgrass.

Disadvantages: Depending on the machine, these are the slowest of the juicers. Also, due to the extraction process a certain amount of force is required to push the produce through the gears so it may prove difficult for those people with very little hand strength or if suffering from arthritis.

All types of juicers will struggle with softer fruits like oranges, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi when compared with harder fruit and vegetables as the pulp is much stickier which can cause blockages in the filter screen. Also the yield from softer fruits isn’t as good as it proves difficult to extract. The following juicers have a separate screen included or one that can be purchased separately for juicing softer fruits – the Champion juicer, the Green Power Kempo juicer and the Green Star juicer but in all honesty you are never going to achieve great results with soft fruits with any machine.

Citrus Juicers

These machines are dedicated to juicing oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes and even pomegranate. They are easier to use and produce better results than when using one of the above conventional juicers. Conventional juicers require you to peel the fruits first as the skin is horribly bitter tasting, whereas a dedicated citrus juicer only requires you to chop the fruit in half and place it on the reaming cone to extract the juice. There are motorised versions of the old glass style reamer that are found in most peoples kitchens, these are the easiest to use and produce proper juice with bits in! These include the reasonably priced Penguin juicer and the beautiful commercial Remida juicer for the serious OJ fan. Alternatively, there is the mechanical manual citrus press which requires the user to pull down on a lever which juices the half orange.

Juiceland is a family run business which exists to promote a healthy lifestyle through carefully selected products. They believe in selecting great products with high reliability and here you can buy all types of juicers, wheatgrass juicers, centrifugal juicers.

What kind of smoothie could I make with my blender?

I don’t have a proper juicer or smoothie maker, just like a small blender. What fruits could I put into it together to make a nice smoothie?

I introduce a lot of clients to juicing and smoothie making as a fun way to ensure their diet is rich in what is loosely called macro nutrients. Delving into the science world we find a lot of naturally occurring substances are named and labelled with their resulting effects documented. But like the sea and the surface of the moon, there is plenty to be explored yet!

What I feel exists in living natural foods is an abundance of living nutrients yet to be fully explained, but I am sure these are active compounds with significant healing capabilities and are essential to beaming good health. Most clients that start juicing on a regular basis instantly notice a change for the better, stronger nails, whiter teeth, weight loss and more energy. All positive results I am sure you would agree and results that no vitamin pill or other health improving product will achieve. Why? Well although when you look on the side of a pill or potion the list of ingredients will look impressive, but its debateable if the nutrients are bio available, that is useable by your body and more to the point a processed, man made substance will not contain the life force of living fresh fruits and vegetables!

So in conclusion dont look for a product to improve your health levels, look to nature and in particular quality fruits and vegetables. Also be aware that cooking will lessen the levels of life force or macro nutrition in your fruits and vegetables so try juicing and smoothie making as a way of introducing raw nutrition into your diet. If you do I am sure the benefits will be instant and hopefully the habit will be lasting.

For more reading research the Gerson therapy technique of treating cellular disease with raw living juices, the very success of this therapy relies on the active life force of vegetables in quantity to arrest and reverse cellular disease.

For this treatment a slow speed juicer is used to deliver the vital macro nutrients in an easy to digest format, juice!

What’s the difference between a smoothie maker and a juicer?

I’ve just been given a kenwood smoothie junior maker for my birthday and I’ve been making smoothies without any problems, but now I want to try making some juices.

In particular, I want to make carrot juice, but I’m worried that my smoothie maker won’t be able to process the carrots. (ie too fragile or not enough power) so, is there any difference between a smoothie maker and a juicer?
