Hurom Slow Juicer

Hey friends! Just wanted to let you know about a new juicer that I recently heard about called the Hurom Slow Juicer. This is a single auger masticating juicer that juices fruits, vegetables, wheatgrass, even soybeans and walnuts! Other single auger juicer machines are limited in what they can juice, but this one seems to handle everything.

How about no froth on the top of your juice? Watch the video below and you’ll see that the Hurom Slow Juicer produces virtually no froth. And while you’re watching, notice the bright color of juice it produces (which means more antioxidants and other nutrients in the juice).

Sometimes when I’m juicing two different kinds of veggies (in my centrifugal juicer) I wish I could clean the unit in between to keep the juices and pulp separate. Well this juice machine is self cleaning! In between juicing you can run water through the Hurom Slow Juicer to clean it.

Wow. This juicer seems to answer all my wishes, but I’ve yet to try it. A couple of people on twitter have tried it though and you can read their reviews here: VeganVegetarian and yogadarla.

Have you tried this juicer? Please comment and let me and my readers know!

The most essential tool required for a juice cleanse is a juicer machine. This machine will separate the liquid in fruits and vegetables from the fiber, which releases some of the enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, making them easily assimilated by the body.

When shopping for a juicer machine the first thing you will probably notice is the cost range, usually from US$60 – US$400. While price will give you some indication of quality, it is certainly not the only factor to take into consideration. Buying a juicer is a personal decision and you will need to decide which of the following factors and features are most important to you:

aesthetics – size, shape, look
ease of use and cleaning (is it dishwasher safe)
noise level
types of foods you’ll be juicing
rate of speed, which also relates to the types of foods used

There are two categories of juicer machines and a few sub-categories. The most popular category for first time users is the centrifugal machine. This type of machine holds a stainless steel basket with blades on the bottom, which shreds the produce while spinning, then forces the juice through a fine strainer by centrifugal force. Smaller models of machines hold the remaining pulp inside while larger models collect the pulp in a container on the outside. The centrifugal juicer adds oxygen during this process, which forms as froth on the top of the juice. Models with higher speeds will produce more heat and are generally louder. Some centrifugal machines are equipped with variable speeds to accomodate both softer and harder fruits and vegetables.

The second category is the masticating juicer. This machine “chews” as it squeezes produce through gears, crushing it, then forcing it through a strainer. This process generates less heat and friction, thereby making a higher quality, longer lasting juice. They are designed to handle vegetables best, especially green leafy vegetables. Some may be able to juice wheatgrass, so check the product descriptions if this is important to you. However, this type of juicer is generally heavier and harder to clean than the centrifugal and the cost is usually more.
