Single Gear Masticating Juicers

Single gear masticating juicers have an auger gear that chews the fruit and vegetable fibers to release the juice. They are more efficient machines than the centrifugal juicers because they tend to extract more juice from the same amount of raw fruits and vegetables. Additionally, because they operate at lower RPM's they generate less heat and therefore do a better job of retaining more of the vitamins and enzymes. The single gear juicers do a great job with wheatgrass and leafy greens. These are also very versatile machines because they can be used to create sauces, nut butters, baby food, pastas, ice cream, soups and sorbets.
