Choice Magazine, Australia's leading independent consumer group (their equivalent of our Which Magazine) has awarded the Compact Juicer top marks in juicer tests – giving the Compact the best performance score of any machine. The reason the Compact scores so highly is that the quality of the juice is just so good.
Choice even went as far as sending all the juices for phytochemical and vitamin analysis - rating the Compact, they gave it the top of score of any machine, 95 out of 100! “Excellent performance”. The Compact out-performed juicers that cost Ł350, it out-performed everything.
The Compact has set the new benchmark in juicer design for the health conscious consumer. The Compact's gentle squeezing & pressing method of juice extraction keeps alive the antioxidants, heat-sensitive vitamins, and digestive enzymes from broccoli, wheatgrass, carrots, and all other fruits & vegetables. With the Compact, your juice can retain up to 60% more nutrients than conventional juicers and those valuable enzymes remain alive – aiding digestion and helping the body absorb nutrients, boosting energy levels and the immune system.
As an added bonus, your juice remains stable, nutritious and fresh for up to 48 hours (juice may be stored in a sealed container in the fridge).
Choice Magazine tested these claims, here are their findings:
"The apple juice from the centrifugal juicers separated and went brown a few minutes after juicing. After two days it was noticeably deteriorating, didn’t smell fresh, had a hard froth on top and a layer of sediment at the bottom — indicating a higher level of oxidation. By contrast, the juice from the non-centrifugal juicers such as the Compact Juicer didn’t separate, smelt fresh and looked palatable and green after 48 hours in the fridge, indicating less oxidation. And the reason why? It’s possible that the oxidation or friction from higher-speed centrifugal juicers degrade the juice faster than the slow-turning machines."
So Many Delicious & Healthy Options. Here's How:
What also sets the new Compact multipurpose juicer/mincer apart from regular juicers, is that it can juice just about anything including wheatgrass. It will grind coffee beans, make nut butters, homus, pesto, salsa, dressings, dips, baby food, pasta and frozen desserts.
Making fresh pasta, for example, is so easy and the Compact comes with a 52 page recipe book to get you started as soon as you open the box.
It even has a completely separate mincing attachment that will professionally mince meat, chicken and fish as well as a sausage making nozzle. You won't believe how quite the machine runs and how easy it is to clean, making it one of the most versatile and best value kitchen appliances available.
Tips on choosing a juicer
Common advice when choosing a juicer - especially for extracting the goodness from greens:
Choose a juicer that:
Does not destroy enzyme or vitamin content
Runs the motor at a low rpm to reduce heat
Does not rip or tear the food
Applies a slow constant pressure to the food
The Compact Living Juice/Food Processor offers great features and many benefits to the discerning shopper. Choose a juicer that does not damage the enzyme content of the juice.
The Compact Premier Juicer is available in Ivory, Burgundy or Black.
Don't quote me, but I think I once read that if the ratio between the good and bad bacteria in your gut is 50%, then you're effectively dead! Did you know that after the cold, digestive upsets cause more time off work than any other complaint? Irritable Bowel (IBS) is no laughing matter. Illness, stress, a poor diet, heavy drinking, antibiotics - good bacteria, probiotics, can help ease symptoms. As well as eating more fibre (fruit, veg and bran), getting exercise, drinking adequate water, looking at food allergens, such as wheat and diary, you an make a difference by taking a good probiotic. In addition to the right food and supplementation, probiotics may help deal with holiday tummys, wind, bloating, constipation and thursh and help cope better with stress. It's a subject well worth reading up on.
