NUTRIBULLET GROWS
FROM LOCAL ROOTS
The iconic NutriBullet – a food extractor
that uses a unique cyclonic blending action,
powered by a 600-watt electric motor, to
shred, crack, grind and break down tough
seeds, stems and skins from unprocessed raw
food without losing any of the nutritional
value – has sold 14 million units in less than
three years, and is firmly established as the
fastest selling kitchen appliance in the USA.
The NutriBullet, an ingenious variation on
the standard-type food blender, utilises
‘upside-down’ technology, with the spinning
blade uncoupl ed from the motorised base
unit. This concept was developed by a team
working out of Los Angeles, California that is
headed up by Cape Town-born entrepreneur
Colin Sapire. Sapire was schooled in the
Eastern Cape before moving back south
to study at the University of Cape Town,
where he completed a B.Com degree and
a CTA in 1982.
