Celery can be a troublemaker when it comes to juicing. Over the years we’ve helped many people get better results with celery juice so we thought we’d share our simple tips in this cheat sheet.
This is more a case of why can things go wrong when juicing celery with a masticating or twin gear juicer. A centrifugal juicer will extract celery juice more easily thanks to a cutting/shredding motion and very high speed.

Before you jump right in it’s important to realise that if you’ve never owned a masticating or twin gear juicer, you’ll need to learn a few easy tricks to make the most of it.

A juicer breaks down fruit and vegetables to separate liquid from pulp.

Juicing needn’t be a wasteful exercise: the pulp doesn’t have to end up in the bin – in fact, it would be a shame because it can be incorporated very easily into a great variety of dishes.
