Fresh, healthy, delicious – but what is really behind juice?
Many people only know juice from the supermarket shelf – sweet, colorful, often with a lot of sugar.
But once you've tried real, freshly squeezed juice, you'll quickly realize : It's a completely different taste experience. And it's healthier, too.
But how does it work? And what is a slow juicer anyway?
In this article, we'll show you why this special way of making juice is worth it, even if you've never thought about it before.
1. Maximum nutrient preservation
Slow juicers operate at low speeds (30–60 RPM), gently pressing fruits and vegetables without generating heat or oxidation, thus largely preserving vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
2. Higher juice yield & drier pomace
The gentle pressing process extracts more juice, leaving the pulp almost dry. This saves on ingredients and saves money .
3. Better taste & longer freshness
The juice tastes more intense, clearer, and has less foam. The lower oxygen binding also ensures a longer shelf life .
4. Versatile & gentle
In addition to traditional juices, slow juicers are also suitable for greens, root vegetables, nut milk, or sorbets. They are gentler, quieter, and often easier to clean .
5. Health benefits
Concentrations of vitamins (e.g., C and B), antioxidants, fiber, and enzymes remain high. This boosts the immune system, supports digestion, and can stimulate the metabolism .
Comparison: Slow Juicer vs. Centrifugal
| criterion | Slow Juicer | Centrifugal Juicer |
|---|---|---|
| speed | 5–10 min per liter | 1–2 minutes per liter |
| Nutrients | Very high (no heat, little O₂) | Reduced by oxidation, heat |
| Juice yield | High – dry pomace | Low, moist pomace |
| versatility | Ideal for vegetables, nut milk, sorbets | Only firm fruits/vegetables |
| Noise level | Quiet | Loud |
| cleaning | Compact, often easier to clean | Larger parts, more complex cleaning |
| Price | Medium to high (250–700+) | Cheaper (100–300) |
