Number one reason why you can not find a best juicer is because there are different vegetables and fruits that have different properties and qualities. What this means is that a certain juicing method that works well with one type of content will not be so great when you pick a different type of fruit. If you consume more fresh juices, you are considered to be in good shape and good health. But improving the juicing experience is a matter of knowing what works best for a certain content and how a juicer can keep its good performance. Using steam juicer and a masticating juicer is not recommended on the same type of content.

A gentler juice extraction method is required for fruits, for example a metrokane manual juicer since they have much softer cell walls. Juicing apples, pears, watermelons, cantaloupes and pineapples can be an easy process if the peel is off and they are chopped into smaller more easily handled pieces. On the other hand, citrus fruits, like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, or tangerines, should be juiced along with their bitter outer surface –after grating away their outer rind. Nutritionists say that it is very important to keep the white skin area and use it, because that is where all the best and valuable nutrients are placed. And because of this reason, big number of people are slicing the fruit and then press it against their reamer style juice extractor to quickly and effectively extract the healthiest parts of a rich citrus juice.

But the vegetables are harder customer to handle. These require more agressive aproach, they need mechanical juicers, masticating juicers lets say, that will be able to crush and push through their fibrous and rigid cell walls. Scientists recommend that due to their lower acid content, vegetables have to be consumed immediately after their preparation. And this is present because of the enzyme activity that gets lower with time – juice extracted from juicer will lose half of the enzyme activity in just 30 minutes.

Alive and fresh enzymes are the most important reason why a cup of freshly squeezed juice from our juicer is so beneficial to our health.
