Two Basic Juicer Types

Centrifugal and Masticating Juicers

Centrifugal means moving or directed outward from the center. Centrifugal juicers use a rotating blade to cut fruit and vegetables. As it is cut, juice is released and flies towards the sides of the juicer while pulp is retained in the center.

Masticating juicers operate at slower and lower speeds, compared to centrifugal juicers, and grind, chew and squeeze juice out of food. Manufacturers of masticating juicers claim they break down a food's fiber more thoroughly than centrifugal juicers and thus release more
nutrients.
