Wheat grass juice is highly nutritious with vitamins E and C and of particular help if you are trying to lose weight. It helps improve your skin, enhances energy levels and metabolism and helps to rid the body of toxins. Instead of consuming energy drinks, one should prefer taking juice of wheat grass. But, it’s quite a hassle driving down to the market everyday to have a glass of this juice. So, the best solution is to have a wheat grass juicer at home. You may consider buying the manual version of wheat grass juicer, for it is economical and doesn’t occupy much of space on your kitchen shelf because it gets clamped at the central edge. Its most important feature is that it uses a cranking handle for extraction of juice at a slow speed, enabling you to get more of nutritious juice. Usually, the parts are made of stainless steel and easy to dismantle for cleaning. Another advantage of manual wheat grass juicer is that you can use it for making juice of carrots and other leafy vegetables.

If you are looking for a juicer that does a bit more, you should consider electric masticating wheat grass juicer that can be used for making juices of fruits and vegetables. They are quite efficient. However, if you are keen to extract juices of large fruits and vegetables, it’ll be good to go for a power juicer like the Jack Lalane Power juicer, that’s superb. Of course these are expensive and occupy more space on the shelf but worth all that if you are keen to have juices and make other drinks apart from wheat grass. . Masticating juicers are quite like manual models. They are efficient and effectively crush the grass to break down fibers that have most nutrients.

These juicers are quite comparable to electric models and some of them may be used for making different drinks. The price of these may vary from $50 to $500.

Another kind of juicer comes in the form of a centrifugal model. Generally, these can’t be used for juicing of wheat grass or such leafy vegetables. If your budget allows, you may opt for twin gear juicer which delivers high quality drink. No doubt these are expensive, but they significantly reduce oxidation, thus giving better quality of juice. The price of such juicers varies from $400 to $1000.

It is not at all difficult to buy a citrus juicer, but the problem is one of having to use it on a regular basis to extract nutritious juice of fruits and vegetables of your choice. People like to have a healthy lifestyle, feel good and healthy and to live long. The most common excuse for not eating healthy or at least not having homemade juice regularly is acute shortage of time due their lifestyle. An ancient riddle that aptly describes this dilemma goes like this: “How do you eat an elephant”? Answer: “One bite at a time”. Let’s face the fact that it is almost impossible to suddenly bring in drastic changes in your lifestyle. The trick is to bring around gradual changes in a step by step manner.

Choosing a juicer for extraction of juices from oranges, tangelos and nectarines is simple. The small five dollar juicer is going to be a big hassle and would fail to give enough juice. The ones working on electricity are nice to have and often the first choice of a majority of consumers for the convenience of operation it presents but there is another variety that people tend to overlook generally. That’s the citrus press, which not only delivers the maximum yield but is also very convenient to clean after having been used. It uses a hand lever action for squeezing the juice from fruit and requires less fruit, compared to old fashioned reamer. Though the orange reamer is more efficient than using hands for extracting juice, it leaves lot of nutrients in the flesh of the fruit.

Amco offers a great lever action press for about $150. It’s not really a commodity product and considered as a special item that you will find easier to get online thru Amazon or Target. It would need space for you to clamp it down on the edge of the counter top. After you are finished with the process of juice making, it is vey easy to clean and can conveniently be stored beneath the counter. And, you can really get an electric juicer by paying less if you buy from Wally World, and this device will outlast the electric models by decades as it has fewer moving components and has commercial grade quality.
