What is a slow juicer? And why is juicing slowly a good thing? Read on!

The Hurom Slow Juicer is a juice extractor that uses the patented Low Speed Technology System (LSTS) to extract the maximum amount of nutrients, vitamins, taste, even enzymes, from the minimum amount of food; fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, wheatgrass, nuts and even soy beans. How does a slow juicer do that?

The Hurom Slow Juicer operates at only 80 RPM and uses a mere 150 Watts of energy, instead of 1,000-24,000 RPM and up to 1,500 Watts of energy like a typical centrifugal "High Speed" juicer. But don't let the name fool you. The Slow Juicer actually juices faster than most typical juicers and expels much drier pulp with a much higher yield. The method of extraction is masticating and pressing, using the screw-like auger like a mortar and pestle. The action crushes and presses the food, releasing its deep-seated nutrients and enzymes. It also breaks up more of the phytonutrients. resulting in a richer colored juice that retains more vitamins and minerals. The slow RPM ensures that it does not disrupt the cellular structure of fruits and vegetables, eliminating oxidation and separation. Thus, it preserves the precious enzymes and nutrients that are closest to its natural form.

So, the Hurom Slow Juicer does an incredible job of making juice, but iit also is easy and convenient to use and clean:: *Dual Stage Juicing...juice is extracted through the first crushing stage and again in the second pressing stage before the pulp is ejected; resulting in more juice, and extra-dry pulp. *Quiet...minimize the noise by squeezing slowly rather than grinding with fast speed *Easy to Clean...simply rinse with water between juicing or take it apart easily for effortless cleaning *Durable...motor comes with a 10 year warranty *GE Ultem Strainer...8 times stronger than normal plastic for both coarse and fine food *Clog-free...automatically separates pulp from juice. Rotating brush cleans the bowl while it juices *Kid-friendly...no sharp blades and effective safely features The Hurom Slow Juicer includes two BPA-free pitchers with measuring marks.
