History
Obtaining the juice from plants is not new, but the first juice extractor wasn’t invented until 1930, as stated on the Macrobiotic Guide website. The first juicer worked by grating the vegetable, putting the mashed product in a bag and squeezing out the juice by a hydraulic press. In 1955, the first kitchen counter juicer was created. It had a screen that the mashed vegetable was forced through, thus resulting in juice. Two schools of thought made juicing popular: naturopathic and natural hygiene movements.
