Juice Round Up – Refreshing juices to make yourself for every occasion
Welcome to our juice round-up! Today we have some interesting facts for you about why homemade juice is good for you, the differences between the various types of juice and a few delicious recipes. Dive into the many possibilities of modern juicers and discover how you can get the best nutrients out of fruit, vegetables and more.
What are the advantages compared to store-bought juices?
Freshness and naturalness
Home-pressed juices are free from preservatives, additives and flavorings and offer a purely natural taste.
Fresh juices made from home-pressed fruit and vegetables generally contain more vitamins, enzymes and minerals than industrially produced juices.
Individual flavor compositions
You can create your own flavor combinations to suit your personal taste.
And YOU have control over the sugar content and can therefore avoid unnecessary additives.
Sustainability and environmental protection
By using your own containers and avoiding disposable packaging, you are helping to protect the environment.
Despite the initial investment in a juicer, squeezing juices yourself can be cheaper in the long run than regularly buying high-quality ready-made products – so you are making a sustainable contribution to a healthy future.
What practical tips are there for cleaning and caring for juicers?
- To prevent fruit and vegetable residues from drying out, it is advisable to clean the juicer immediately after use.
- All our juicers are easy to dismantle into their individual parts, dishwasher-safe and therefore easy to clean.
- Soaking the juicer parts in warm water with a mild detergent makes it easier to remove residues and clean.
- Allow the cleaned parts to air dry to ensure that no moisture remains in hidden corners.
What is the difference between a juicer and a slow juicer?
1. Speed
Juicers (centrifugal juicers): These appliances operate at high speed and use centrifugal force to crush fruits and vegetables and extract the juice. The process is fast, but the high speed can lead to more heating of the juice, which can result in a possible loss of nutrients and a shorter shelf life of the juice.
Slow juicers (also known as masticating juicers): These devices work with a slow, masticating crushing motion to extract the juice. The slow speed minimizes friction and heat development, which means that enzymes, vitamins and minerals are better preserved in the juice.
2. Extraction method
Juicer: Centrifugal juicers use centrifugal force to spin fruit and vegetables through a rapidly rotating blade to extract the juice.
Slow juicer: Fruit and vegetables are pressed and chopped slowly with the help of an auger or grinder. This process results in a higher juice yield and better extraction of nutrients.
3. Versatility
Juicers: They are often better suited to harder fruit and vegetables as they work at higher speeds.
Slow juicer: The slow, chew-like shredding makes slow juicers well suited for soft leafy vegetables, herbs and even wheatgrass, making them more versatile.
To summarize, slow juicers allow for gentler juice extraction with the potential to preserve more nutrients, while conventional juicers may be better suited for certain fruits and vegetables due to their higher speed.
