To kick off the day on the right foot or for a fruity break at the snack, nothing like fresh fruit juice! Rather than hesitate between pure juice and nectar or scrutinize the labels in search of sugar, we move to the healthiest alternative: the fact-home. Zoom on the extractors, machines that allow to keep a maximum of nutrients ... and taste!
Ultra-vitaminized juices
To avoid leaking vitamins and minerals, the best is to invest in a cold juice extractor ( Brandt's Slow Juicer , for example). By grinding the ingredients at very low speed, it retains the nutritional qualities of each food ... The cold extractor presses so easily fruit, vegetables and leaves (spinach, kale, basil ...). As a result, it is the ideal accessory for making green juices that are not only trendy but also rich in antioxidants (which protect against aging), minerals and vitamins. Bonus: you can keep your juice to the cool until 24h (depending on the devices used) without the benefits of fruits do not fade!
Extractor or centrifuge?
It depends on the type of juice that you want to achieve but, unlike the centrifuge, the extractor does not "break" the fibers of fruits and vegetables, The taste is felt and we take advantage of all the health benefits of plants . And since the ingredients have not been heated, they are less subject to oxidation. The difference with the blender ? A question of texture. If in both cases the nutritional qualities of food are well preserved, the preparation is much more fluid (and therefore easier to consume) when using a cold juice extractor.
A weak point anyway, it takes (a little) patience. Since foods are pressed at very low speed, do not expect a juice ready in the second. But it only takes a few minutes. And it's well worth it!
