Everything you need to know about juicers

We spoke to our friends at BBC Good Food, who helped explain the difference between the two types, so you can find the best juicer for your needs and how to best dispose of juicer waste.

What types of juicers are there?

Although there are plenty of options on the market, the two main options are fast and slow juicers.

Centrifugal (fast) juicers

Once fruit and veg are fed down the feeding chute, these juicers work by spinning it very fast against a grater or slightly pronged disk so the ingredients are completely broken down. The centrifugal force then draws all of the juice through a fine mesh sieve which is then channelled towards the juice spout.

These seem to be the most popular choice because they are speedy, easy to use, and tend to be fairly budget-friendly. They’re louder than their masticating counterparts but are – as the name suggests – significantly faster.

Masticating (slow) juicers

For anyone who considers juicing a vital part of their diet, masticating is often deemed preferable. These juicers work by squeezing or “chewing” fruits and vegetables using a corkscrew-shaped device called an auger. The crushed ingredients are then pressed through a sieve or strainer and produce foam-free results.

Although not as speedy, it will definitely do a much better job at breaking down the fruit or veg, particularly those hard-to-blend leafy greens. It’s often said that you will yield more juice from these, so they’re considered more cost-effective in the long run.

Citrus juicers

Similar in design to hand-held citrus juicers, an electric model does the twisting for you. Simply halve your citrus and press it onto the central spindle. This will then start to rotate, allowing you to move the fruit around the spindle, ensuring you get every last drop of juice out. Citrus juicers are a truly specialist appliance, but great if you drink or cook with a lot of citrus.

How to use up juicer waste

After juicing, you’ll be left with a pile of semi-dry pulp and fibre. Rather than simply throwing it out, the leftovers can be reused in a couple of interesting ways. Here are some suggestions from our friends at BBC Good Food:

• Add it into a vegetable stock
• Turn kale (or any other leafy green) pulp into pesto
• Add pulp to homemade granola and energy bites
• Mix pulp into a muffin batter
• If you can’t find anything to do with it, make sure to add it to the food waste bin
