What mechanically makes a juicer better for getting juice out versus using a blender and sieve? I blenderized a pineapple and got fairly little juice out of it.
I was interested in blending pineapple because I don't think store bought juices contain the core which I think contains the most bromelain which I want more of.Many juicers remove more of the vegetable/fruit than other brands do, and some only get maybe 50%. I don't want to throw all that out! And I learned early on, after getting my Vitamix, almost nothing is left to get strained out, and a lot of other high speed blenders do the same. FI, when tomatoes are blended up, I get so little strained out that I don't even bother - the seeds and skin are just gone. And I always grind up pineapples, including the hard core, for making smoothies - no fiber noticeable, but that is the best part of the juice for us, so why throw it away?
There have been small studies that suggest that maybe Bromelain can break down eye floaters, but even if not it should be good clearing cellular waste.Just curious, Cooking4Fun, what are you targeting with the Bromelain?
Do you have a link to the studies?There have been small studies that suggest that maybe Bromelain can break down eye floaters, but even if not it should be good clearing cellular waste.

A juicer is better at extracting juice because it separates the liquid from the pulp more effectively, while blending with a sieve may leave more pulp behindWhat mechanically makes a juicer better for getting juice out versus using a blender and sieve?
