The Versatile Manual Citrus Juicer

Everyone loves a fresh squeezed glass of juice, whether it be pineapple, apple, pear, or orange, but not too many people want to go through all the work and mess. There is an easier way, and that is to purchase a manual citrus juicer. Because there are so many varieties, picking out just the right one for your home will be lots of fun. And you will learn more about how they work too. For example, one popular model of the twin gear juicers is the Green Star. Others which work exceedingly well at juicing even hard skinned produce, are the Green Power juicers, Omega 8000, and more dependant upon what types of produce will be juiced. For fresh citrus fruit and greens a lighter model such as the Olympus will work just fine.

Twin gear manual citrus juicers work by gently rolling the produce in order to extract the juice. They never bruise or tear, but simply roll between the gears. Single gear juicers use a mastication process thereby chewing the leaves and tearing them. The great thing about a single gear juicer is the chlorophyll of the produce stays intact and the color of your beverage will be a brighter color.

Wheat grass juicers are all the rage when it comes to how well they juice. They are inexpensive and extract only the most nutritional part of the grass while keeping the beneficial chlorophyll intact. The economy heavy duty manual citrus juicer is made of durable cast iron and will last for an eternity. Other models which work very well are the miracle manual also of cast iron. This item juices soft fruit, wheat grass and green vegetables. Another lighter version is the economy stainless steel model which will not rust and last a lifetime. It even boasts a pulp control for your convenience. The z-star manual juicer is light enough to transport anywhere and everywhere you wish to juice. It uses an auger to gently extract all the juice possible from wheat grass, leafy greens, soft fruits such as grapes, berries, peaches and pears, as well other soft leafy vegetables.
