A Masticating Juicer is a low-speed unit that can juice the same items as Centrifugal and Pulp Ejection while also having the ability to juice Wheatgrass and Leafy Greens. This is a powerful juicer that "crushes" fruits and vegetables, including hard vegetables such as carrots. Since there is no heat generated as in other juicers, all of the enzymes are preserved for a fresh and 'live' tasting juice. Most masticating units also have non-juicing functions like pasta extrusion, mincing, grinding and nutter butters.
