Things You Never Knew about Your Breville Juicer

Fast and ready or slow and steady

Having a juicer in your home means you don’t have to spend your money on pre-packaged, sugar-filled drinks for you and your family. In fact, it isn’t just cost effective, it’s healthier, free from preservatives and lets you be creative in making unique flavour combinations.

Of course, this is true of most juicers, but the Breville juicer has features that make it stand out from the rest.

When you start to research juicing machines, you’re sure to come across two terms: centrifugal and masticating. These refer to the mechanisms used to extract the juice.

Masticating means that it has an auger that operates like a cork screw and ‘chews’ your ingredients. It slowly turns, folding and breaking each item fed into it, squeezing out the nutrients.

In contrast, the Breville Juicer operates on a centrifugal system. This means that it has a high-speed blade in its centre, situated on a motor that spins and slices the ingredients. It’s so fast that it only needs seconds to pulverise your ingredients, filtering it through a mesh that separates the juice from the pulp.

Nature’s goodness

As you probably know, foods are most nutritious when eaten raw, especially vegetables. But many of us can't or won't adopt that lifestyle. That's where juicing comes in. It offers a convenient way to consume a complete and nutritious raw meal in a single drink, packed with essential vitamins, enzymes, and fiber. And the best part? They taste delicious too!

You can take it a step further by customizing your juice to target specific nutritional needs. Different vegetables have different properties that benefit your body. By following a plan and rotating ingredients, you can consume more veggies than if you were eating them whole, use leftover pulp for other meals, cut out refined sugars from store-bought drinks, and experience an energizing boost of vitamins. Plus, it's a great way to ensure your kids stay healthy too!
