The history of the antique juicer dates back to the 1930s. Norman Walker was the first to invent the juicer after making the benefits of juices more accessible to a wider range of people.
People have recognized the benefits of juice for many years, as far back as before 150 b.c. when there were reports of pomegranates giving people strength. In the early 1900s, people began extracting juices from fruits because of an overpopulation of fruit in California.
By the 1950s, companies had improved upon Walker's invention, inventing the first centrifugal juicer. But, juicing didn't really become popular until the 1970s.  Jack LaLanne is owed some of the popularity of juicers due to his relentless marketing of the residential juicer in the 1970s and 1980s. By the early 2000s, juicing had taken off and is still important in many households.
