Omega Vert HD Vrt350 Juicer Review

If you are into juice diets or simply love to drink fruit and vegetable juices, you will need a juicing machine. There are many different types and models of juice machines and one of the best is the Omega Vert HD VRT350 juicer. It is a single gear masticating juicer that has the ability to juice all kinds of fruits and vegetables including wheatgrass.

Centrifugal Juicers vs. Masticating Juicers

The most common type of juicer is the centrifugal juicer. This is what you often see in stores and on TV. A centrifugal juicer extracts juice by spinning at high speeds. The spinning motion forces the juice away from the pulp and the juice flows into a bowl or container.

Masticating juicers grind fruits and vegetables and squeeze out the juice. They work at low speeds with no spinning action. They tend to juice vegetables, especially leafy greens, more efficiently.

Some people believe that the high speed of centrifugal juicers produce too much heat that can destroy enzymes and some vitamins.

The Omega Vert HD VRT350 Juicer

The Omega Vert HD VRT350 Juicer is said to be the most effective single gear masticating juicer available on the market these days. Masticating juicers offer health-conscious people the means to add more variety to their juicing routine. The Omega VRT350 can juice fruits, vegetables and even wheatgrass.

The Omega Vert VRT350 juicer is the heavy duty version of Omega’s VRT330. Product features are basically the same except that the fine mesh screen is now made out of GE ULTEM material, which is the same material they use for the auger. This plastic is 8 times stronger and more durable than melamine.

The new VRT350 has been redesigned with a larger opening for both the screen and the bowl to produce less pulp and lessen the likelihood of clogging. Firm vegetables like carrots and fine ones like wheatgrass are juiced more efficiently.

Many people these days are making the decision to eat a healthier diet, and many are learning about the benefits of wheatgrass.

To get the full benefits of wheatgrass and barley grass without breaking the bank you can make your own grass juice at home. Using the Hurricane Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer will make the process quick and easy to do.

Wheat Grass & Barley Grass - Why They Are Healthy

It also contains all the essential amino acids the body needs, as well as non-essential amino acids. Wheatgrass is rich is vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. If you are on a diet, you can drink wheatgrass juice to ensure that your body is not deprived of important nutrients. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the nutritional value of one kilogram of leafy green vegetables.

Using a Manual Wheatgrass Juicer

Manual wheatgrass juicers like the Hurricane Stainless Steel Hand Crank Juice extractor has several benefits not found in electric wheatgrass juicers. Manual juicers are simple to operate and do not require electricity. When using a hand crank juice extractor for wheat grass and barley grass juicing, you can feed the pulp back into the juicer to extract as much juice as possible. This will help you save money by letting you squeeze the last drop of juice out of your wheatgrass.

Keep in mind that wheatgrass juicers are designed only to handle delicate greens and grasses. They should not be used to juice firm vegetables or fruits such as apples or carrots.

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press Review

Nothing can compare with the refreshing taste of freshly squeezed orange juice, but we all know how difficult (and tiresome) it is to squeeze a few glasses of this delicious, healthy drink. If you want to enjoy fresh-pressed citrus juice everyday then you can’t do without the Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press. This durable and fashionably styled citrus press will squeeze out every last drop of juice from your oranges.

A citrus press is used if you want only the orange’s juice, with or without pulp. Citrus juicers, in contrast, make juice that includes the different components of citrus fruits such as skin and pith.

Using a citrus press is one of the best ways to incorporate more potassium, Vitamin C and calcium into your diet. Orange juice also contains folate and thiamin.

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Citrus Press

If you want to juice only oranges and other citrus fruits, the Breville 800CPXL is one of the best machines for this purpose. Although it does not come cheap (about $170), reviewers say the motorized citrus press is worth the money. The Breville die-cast stainless steel citrus press combines a spinning cone with a power-assisted lever to squeeze out juice from the fruit. Using the citrus press requires very little effort and you have the option to make pulpy or pulp-free orange juice.
