Anybody who is happy with their Green Power/Greenlife/Greenstar juicer, great!!, more power to you!! I'm not trying to knock anyone else's experience.

But for those who are still looking to buy,...

True, but that's the botanical sense, not the common sense or the legal sense.

Tomatoes, for instance, are botanically classified as fruits, but legally classified as vegetables in the US......

Thanks for posting that comparison. For those who don't bother to check the link out for themself, let me summarize the overwhelming comparison... the Jack LaLanne juicer is pure junk.

Oh, yes,...

Q: Why is Vitamix the best?

A: It's really not. It's just the best known, because they have the best marketing campaign.

Good fresh sweetcorn is sweet to the taste, yes. If it isn't sweet, I don't buy it. When I was a kid we'd buy it from the Amish carts at the farmer's market and eat it right off the cob as we walked...

Aw heck, you got me there. The checkout line moved and I put the magazine back... since I'm personally overstocked in blenders and juicers it was mostly curiosity for me anyway.... what I do remember...

1) Not all kinds of apples juice well. Particularly with auger type juicers crisp apples juice much, much better than ones with a mushy or mealy texture. Try several different kinds of apples to...

Interesting coincidence... as I was waiting to check out at Whole Foods tonight I browsed the new issue of Cooks Illustrated, in which they report on their tests of a bunch of high end blenders,...

Boston Naturopath Ann Wigmore was the person who pioneered the use of wheatgrass juice for healing and nutritional support. She grew hers in cafeteria trays on a thin layer of Canadian sphagnum peat...

Is there another thread running on this? I would be very careful about buying Greenstar at this point, no matter how good the reputation used to be.

According to earlier posts, which you can...

I owned a VitaMix 3600 for a long time, but I was honestly never crazy about it and sold mine maybe 10 years ago. But at least they were built like a tank, and relatively indestructible compared to...

I have that corn cutter. Got it at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's kinda OK, better than nothing, but not nearly as good as a Lee's cutter. I grew up in corn growing country, and Lee's is the best you can...

There are 2 big cautions about melon rinds to be aware of...

Corn contains an enzyme that makes it taste bad if it is frozen raw, so 100% of all commercial frozen corn is blanched, even the organic kind, to deactivate that enzyme.

Personally, I'd recommend you take a look at the Omega 8003/8005 (one is white, one is chrome). They do ice cream, nut butter, wheatgrass (and other leafy greens) as well as all the usual general...

Problems sprouting buckwheat are usually caused by the wrong soak time, or insufficient rinsing. Buckwheat needs frequent rinsing, especially the hulled kind.

I have not used that particular model myself. I've always found the reviews at www.discountjuicers.com to be pretty reliable, and though they sell this model, they say they do not recommend it. They...

I've seen this problem at various times with all spiral slicers and mandolines and benriners and vslicers. They do well with zucchini and daikon and other softer veggies, but the comb teeth don't...

I use a lot of shitakis, and while they do have a strong earthy smell, they don't smell rotten unless they are rotten. This usually happens if careless handling allows them to get wet.
