Masticating versus Centrifugal Juicers
What are Masticating Juicers?
Masticating or 'Slow' Juicers crush or 'chew' the fruit or veggies at a slow and steady rate, pressing the juice and nutrients out. The juice trickles into one compartment, while a rotating grinder pushes the 'cud' out the other end into another compartment.
What are Centrifugal Juicers?
Centrifugal Juicers or Juice Extractors, process the fruits and veggies like a high speed grater. The circular motion forces the juice, which is lighter, though a mesh chamber to the outside walls of the juicer while the pith, which is heavier, is expelled into a different chamber.
Masticating Juicers are generally:
- Slower
- Quieter
- Require more prep
- More costly
- Better at preserving nutrients for longer
- Better at processing leafy greens and hard fruit or vegetables
Centrifugal Juicers are generally:
- Faster
- Louder
- Require less prep
- More affordable
- Oxidises juice sooner
- Good at processing both soft and hard fruit or vegetables
