There is nothing quite as delightfully refreshing and healthy as a tall glass of home-made juice. Here we bring you some of the best juicers on the market. Having your own juicer at home will guarantee that you are getting all the goodness of the fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens you are juicing and nothing else.
We all know how misleading labeling on store-bought food can be sometimes. For example, "No sugar added" on juice containers doesn't have to take into account the natural fruit sugars (fructose) that have been added which, in the case of fruit juices, often is lots. They can also contain other unwanted and unhealthy ingredients. In vegetable juices, for example, you will often see large amounts of sodium added. Using your own juicer at home to make juice ensures that you are getting the full benefit of all the nutrients and taste from your fresh fruits and veggies with no unwanted additions.

Juicers come from a variety of manufacturers. Waring and Breville are two that have some of the best juicers available. You will find a selection of their juicers available here. When choosing between different juicers there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
First of all, you can find both power juicers and manual juicers. Hand juicers such as manual citrus juicers tend to be more inexpensive and, being manual, require no power thereby saving you money on both counts.
If you are juicing a relatively small amount of citrus fruits a manual citrus juicer serves that purpose well. However, if you intend to juice a larger volume of fruits, veggies and greens you will want to get a power juicer that can accommodate a variety of juicing tasks.
Power juicers use several different methods of separating the juice from the pulp. Centrifugal juicers use blades and sieves to achieve that separation; masticating juicers "chew up" the fruit before squeezing out the juice; and triturating juicers have twin gears that first crush the fruit and veggies before pressing the juice out.
This is important to know because some things such as wheatgrass need a triturating or masticating juice extractor to juice it since a centrifugal juicer won't break the fibers of the grass. Wheatgrass juicers have become more popular with the increased recognition of the rich amounts of minerals and vitamins that wheatgrass contains.
The best juicers will leave no doubt with the rich, healthy and delicious quality of the juice they produce! Make sure you get the right one.
