As you shop for a juicer, you need to decide if you want a general purpose juicer for fruits and vegetables; a more versatile model that can make other foods like pasta, salsa, and baby food; or a juicer exclusively for wheatgrass and leafy greens. There are pros and cons to each type of juicer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Citrus juicer<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As its name suggests, a citrus juicer is used exclusively for citrus fruits: lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The most inexpensive type of juicer, you can find one for as little as $20.<\/li>\n<li>More efficient that wringing fruits by hand.<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight, easy to assemble, and portable.<\/li>\n<li>With little to no mechanical parts, it&#8217;s highly durable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited to citrus.<\/li>\n<li>Usually requires manual work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Centrifugal juicer<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This type of juicer relies on centrifugal force to separate the juice and the pulp. The most common type of juicer, it handles all types of fruits and vegetables, simultaneously chopping them up with blades and straining the pulp from the juice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be found for reasonable, affordable prices.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to assemble and clean its parts.<\/li>\n<li>Good general purpose juicer for beginners.<\/li>\n<li>Quick and effective juice extraction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With a high-powered motor comes a lot of noise.<\/li>\n<li>Spinning produces a lot of foam and froth.<\/li>\n<li>Juice contains fewer enzymes and nutrients.<\/li>\n<li>Doesn&#8217;t process wheatgrass or leafy greens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Masticating juicer<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike a centrifugal juicer, the masticating kind literally chews up the food, extracting more juice and preserving more natural nutrients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Works at a lower speed, reducing heat and foam.<\/li>\n<li>Less oxidation means healthy, all-natural enzymes stay in the juice.<\/li>\n<li>Quieter than centrifugal juicers.<\/li>\n<li>Its single-gear construction makes it more durable in the long run.<\/li>\n<li>Handles leafy greens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy and bulky models take up a lot of counter space.<\/li>\n<li>Higher price.<\/li>\n<li>Some models have difficult assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Wheatgrass juicers<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people are interested exclusively in wheatgrass, a type of leafy green superfood. Wheatgrass juicers may or may not also process fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Juices wheatgrass, leaves, and herbs, which contain a lot of fiber that other types of juicers can&#8217;t handle.<\/li>\n<li>Masticating process yields a high output of juice.<\/li>\n<li>A cost-effective solution for people who just want wheatgrass and not fruits and vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>The low motor speed means a nearly silent operation and juice that preserves its natural enzymes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some models require manual work.<\/li>\n<li>Typically do not juice fruits or vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Very expensive and complicated to assemble.<\/li>\n<li>Quite heavy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eeeeee;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\"><img title=\"Brittany Rowland\" src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/graphics\/authors\/brittany_rowland_50.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Rowland\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><sup><strong><span style=\"color: #440e62;\">Brittany Rowland researches new developments in Appliances, Kitchen and CE products features with a vigor to which few would aspire&#8230; but someone has to do it.<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\">See more about Brittany<\/a><\/strong><\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"bgheading\">Related Juicer Articles<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/green-apple-carrot-ginger-juice-recipe\/\">Green Apple Carrot Ginger Juice for Two<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/breville-bje200xl-200.jpg\" alt=\"Green Apple Carrot Ginger Juice for Two\" class=\"post_thumbnail thumbnail\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"bgpara\">Fresh juice is an excellent way to get your daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
