Masticating juicers, also known as slow juicers, extract juice by crushing and grinding fruits and vegetables. They operate at a slower speed compared to centrifugal juicers, which helps preserve more nutrients and enzymes in the juice. This method results in a thicker juice with a richer flavor and less foam. These juicers are versatile and can handle leafy greens, nuts, and even wheatgrass, making them ideal for a variety of juice recipes. While they may take longer to juice, the higher juice yield and quality make them a popular choice among health enthusiasts and those looking to maximize their nutrient intake.
