The function of the juicer

1. Make pure fruit juice and mixed fruit and vegetable juice

The most basic and core function of a juicer is to juice fresh fruits and vegetables quickly and efficiently. Whether it is a single fruit such as apples, oranges, grapefruits, or a variety of vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, celery, etc., the juicer can squeeze out the moisture and nutrients in the ingredients through the internal high-speed rotating blade or screw pusher, separating the delicate and nutritious juice, and at the same time separating the pomace for easy drinking or further use.

2. Make soy milk and plant-based milk

Some juicers have the function of making 

soy milk. Users only need to soak the beans (such as soybeans, black beans, mung beans, etc.) in advance until soft, then put them in a juicer, add an appropriate amount of water, and then stir and heat (for models with heating function) to make soy milk with a smooth taste and rich nutrients. In addition, by changing the formula, various types of plant-based milk, such as almond milk and peanut milk, can also be made, providing a rich source of protein for the diet.

3. Grinding and grinding

The juicer's high-strength blade system makes it capable of grinding meat. Frozen or fresh meat is placed in a juicer and ground into finely minced meat in a short time, making it ideal for making dumplings, meatballs, and meat sauces. In addition, the juicer can be used to grind spices such as paprika and peppercorns, as well as to grind hard ingredients such as rock sugar, nuts and coffee beans into powder or finely crushed state, greatly enriching the cooking possibilities of the kitchen.

4. Make smoothies, milkshakes and smoothies

For juicers with powerful agitation, especially the wall breaker type, they can not only squeeze juice, but also make creamy smoothies, milkshakes and smoothies. Simply pop ice cream, yogurt, ice cubes and fruit in the juicer for a refreshing drink in minutes, perfect for cooling off in the summer or refueling after a workout.

High-speed juicers are usually better at breaking up cell walls and releasing more nutrients, but they can be noisy; Low-speed juicers (e.g., slow presses) have a lower rotational speed, but reduce oxidation and retain more enzymatic activity, making them suitable for users who are looking for nutrient retention.

3. Material and safety: Choose a juicer made of food-grade materials to ensure that it does not contain harmful substances such as BPA. Pay attention to the equipment's spill-proof design, overheating protection, automatic power-off and other functions, as well as whether the operation interface is intuitive and easy to use.
