With the new blenders, centrifuges and extractors, you can prepare healthy and tasty drinks by choosing your favorite ingredients and without adding unnecessary preservatives or sugars. easy and fast. And health will gain from it.

The difference between blenders, centrifuges and extractors

With the arrival of summer, the desire for fruit or vegetable juices also returns. To make them you can use a simple blender, a centrifuge or a juice extractor. But do you know what the differences are?

In fact, different drinks are obtained from the three tools, both for the ingredients that can be used and for the texture and nutritional properties.

The mixer we all know it: it is a tool that, thanks to rotating blades, allows you to obtain a fruit juice (smoothie) by blending the fibrous components of the fruit and vegetables used. The compound is rich in fiber and therefore will be quite dense. But it can always be stretched with water or milk if you prefer a more liquid consistency.

The juices obtained with the blender retain the properties of the fruit and vegetables and are therefore rich in juice, pulp, and fiber. However smoothies they are also rich in air which can annoy those suffering from irritable colon, for example. Also, fruit and vegetables they must be cleaned before being introduced and if the blender is not powerful enough it may not be able to blend ingredients that are too hard.

There centrifuge extracts the juice from raw fruit and vegetables, eliminating the pulp and exploiting the centrifugal force. The foods are first minced by a sharp grater and then the juice is separated from the pulp. It will only result the juice (even if the fruit is introduced into the centrifuge unpeeled) pure and homogeneous.

Me too’extractorlike the centrifuge, allows you to get juice without fiber, but its functioning is different. The cold extractor in fact extracts the juice from fruit and vegetables by pressing them and, compared to centrifuges, works at low revolutions and with less power. In this way, a large part of the nutritional properties of food are maintained. Furthermore, compared to the centrifuge, the extractor can also extract the juice from leafy vegetables, such as spinach and aromatic herbs.

Now that you know the differences, you just have to choose according to your preferences. Below are the newest and most performing models.
