Millions of individuals worldwide prefer to begin their day with fresh fruit and vegetable extracts or juices instead of coffee or tea. To enjoy fresh juice at home, people need either a juicer or a juice extractor, even though numerous shops sell fresh citrus fruit and vegetable juices in cities around the globe. The terms juicers and extractors are often used interchangeably for appliances that obtain juices from fruits and vegetables, but there are differences between the two that will be discussed in this article.
Juice Extractor
A juice extractor is a device used to obtain juice from citrus fruits and vegetables in a way that separates the pulp, seeds, and skin, leaving only the pure juice. Electric juice extractors have blades to cut fruit pieces and then rotate or spin at high speed to separate the seeds and skin from the juice, which is collected in a container. These appliances are also referred to as centrifugal juicers because of the spinning effect that separates the juice from the seeds. Machines or appliances designed to handle seeds and pulp in such a way that the user gets only pure juice are called juice extractors.
Juicer
A juicer is a machine used to obtain juice from mostly citrus fruits. It can be either masticating or centrifugal in nature. A masticating juicer chews on vegetables and fruits, leaving behind fresh juice. A centrifugal juicer cuts pieces and then spins to separate juice from pulp and seeds.
Key Takeaways
- A juice extractor separates the pulp, seeds, and skin from the juice, providing only pure juice, while a juicer may not differentiate between these components and might pulverize the whole fruit to produce the juice.
- Juice extractors are more expensive than simple citrus juicers due to their ability to separate juice from seeds, skin, and pulp, as well as having more features.
- Centrifugal juicers cut pieces of fruit and then spin at high speed to separate juice from seeds, skin, and pulp, while masticating juicers chew on fruits and vegetables to leave behind fresh juice.
