Tag: Masticating juicers

An average apple contains only a handful of seeds, and you would need to chew and consume upwards of 150 crushed seeds in one sitting to risk cyanide poisoning. This fact debunks the common myth that juicing a single apple core is inherently dangerous.

Scientific consensus points to heat and oxidation as the primary culprits of nutrient degradation during juicing, and masticating juicers are specifically designed to combat these factors. This slow, deliberate process ensures that the resulting beverage is as nutritionally robust as possible compared to juice from high-speed centrifugal alternatives.

According to manufacturers and health enthusiasts, the average cold-pressed juice can contain up to five times more nutrients than a traditionally pasteurized juice. But is cold-pressed juice better than juice, or is it just clever marketing? The answer lies in the extraction methods and their impact on vitamins, enzymes, and overall quality.
