Note :Conventional juicer is difficult to juice leafy vegetables and low speed blender could not separate the juice and the pulp.
A slow juicer is highly recommended to juice leafy vegetables.
Benefit of slow juicer helps to reduce oxidation in the juices and more nutrients will be retained allowing it to stay fresher longer.
