Juicing consists of grinding and squeezing fresh fruits and vegetables to make natural juice. Juicing can help you have a more balanced diet, as drinking freshly squeezed juice is an easy way to get a healthy dose of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. However, juicing your produce at home can take a lot of time and effort, particularly if you’re chopping and prepping all the ingredients by hand. This is where having a cold press juicer comes in handy, as these appliances allow you to extract juice from fruits and veggies in just a few minutes. Plus, unlike traditional centrifugal juicers, cold press juicers utilize a slow process that helps preserve more nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes when pressing fruits and vegetables to make natural juice, resulting in a fresher and more flavorful drink. For a cold press juicer that’s reliable and efficient, the Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is an outstanding choice.
The Nama J2 is a high-end, multi-functional cold press juicer that’s equipped with a large, wide-mouth hopper which lets you load whole or large pieces of fruits or veggies without cutting them into smaller pieces, along with a processing auger blade which chops and feeds your produce into its chamber. The machine also leverages a proprietary Pure Press technology to slowly and effectively extract the nutrients and juice from each ingredient, helping to minimize oxidation to ensure the healthiest juice possible while also yielding up to 60% more juice than traditional high-speed juicers. It also comes with two strainers, so you can also use it to make smoothies, plant-based milks, soups and sauces. The machine also boasts a quiet operation, is easy to clean, and also integrates a user-friendly control panel as well as safety features that make it safe for children to use.
