Best Juicer For Greens
Juicer For Greens Review
What are the different Kinds Of Greens, and which greens are better for juicing?
There are many kinds of greens out there, some more popular than others. Here’s a little tutorial on the different types of grasses, their families, and whether or not they’re suitable for juicing.
Gourds, squash and the daisy family
These are the more “watery” greens such as cucumber from the gourd group, and lettuce from the daisy family. Squash varieties such as courgettes and marrows are also more watery greens which soften upon cooking but aren’t so great for juicing. However, cucumber and lettuce are excellent for juicing as they add lots of moisture and nutrients but don’t overpower with taste.
Brassicas and cruciferous veggies
The brassica/cruciferous family has members such as kale, collard greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. I generally stay away from juicing vegetables like broccoli and cabbage as they can be a bit harsh on the tummy. It’s also been found that large amounts of cruciferous veggies can harm thyroid function. However, this is argued as it is also said that you’d have to eat an awful lot of raw cruciferous vegetables to have any negative response.
Other great veggies for juicing
Spinach and celery are fabulous for juicing as they are full of vitamins and pack your gut with good things when juiced thoroughly and kept calm. Fennel and other herbs such as dandelion can also be beautiful additions to your green juices.
If you’re ever unsure if a particular green is safe or suitable for juicing, a quick online search is always a good idea.
