We purchased a used Norwalk Juicer a while abck and many friends and relatives ask what’s that? How does it work? So I created a short movie showing how it works.

This is a quick, very basic demonstration of juicing with a Norwalk using bags. I usually add wheat grass to the juice and grind it in with the other veggies at breakfast. You can combine any fruits and or veggies you like to make a juice. It is fun to experiment with different combinations and ratios. The Kale, Carrot, Apple (wheat grass) is my staple go to juice.

The benefits of fresh cold pressed juice are many, no heat, no oxidation which destroys nutrients and enzymes. There is also no pasteurization which also destroys nutrients as in store bought products. Therefore fresh juice floods you’re body with nutrients and enzymes typically not available. The Norwalk allegedly gets a higher yield from veggies processed, but I have no direct experience to compare other than the remainder after pressing has very little moisture. The taste of fresh juice is also out of this world.

You can juice ahead and store in mason jars if you like, but I tend to juice fresh and juice everything. For example if you were to juice ahead they recommend peeling the carrots, I don’t bother since it is not being stored and there is no fear of contamination, I also like the time savings and additional nutrients by using the whole plant..

The Norwalk units are very solid, well built, and heavy. I worked in a commercial kitchen and the Norwalk machine and the components are high commercial quality similar to what one would find in a restaurant. I purchased my unit used and have been pleased with it. Norwalk machines have been around over 75 years with only minor changes. There is a reason for this… they work and are very versatile. Norwalk’s are not the best at everything but they are quite versatile and do make the best juice in my opinion.

The Norwalk does more than just make incredible juice. You can make great cold snacks by grinding ice and frozen fruits, coleslaw, and I have made peanut and almond butters from bulk nuts and love the fact I know the ingredients and the flavor is far better than store bought. You can make your own flours and do so much more that we have not used it for yet.
