Can it be used for juicing wheatgrass?

This juicer works great on wheat grass. It produces very dry pulp. We find wheat grass is just too strong for us to drink. We juice kale at the end of juicing a Tablespoon of flax seed, a knuckle of ginger root, followed by apples, celery, beets tops and roots, and carrots. We separate the bitter and very dry kale pulp from all the rest of the fiber to compost. The apple and other fiber we add pomegranate juice to, along with Ceylon (real) cinnamon,a pinch of cloves and some chopped nuts. We mush this into a dough then roll into balls to make raw vegetable "cookies" which are awesome and supply the fiber which gut microbes need to create satisfaction for us in fullness. We drink and eat these raw vegitable cookies each morning and love it ,really love it. Sometime we put a fresh raspberry on top of each one, really better than tollhouse, we follow with about half cup of cooked little red bead with garlic, red onion, and a fewcooked mushrooms since the health benefits of these cooked plantfoods are tremendous for satiation, fighting cancer and longevity. A good site to visit for latest research is NutricianFacts.org(not dot com) Mr Greger at NutricianFacts provides all the lastest research in hundreds of 5 minute videos. We are attempting to grow baby broccoli greens to juice since the research shows they are at least 20 time higher in nutrients than bigger broccoli leaves for juicing,why eat only the flower and waste the leaves. Dr Joel Furhman,of Eat To Live, has also been very helpful in our quest for optimum wellbeing. The best to your health Rachel

Yes. Do some research to find out how much juice it yields. There are videos on youtube comparing multiple juicers

Yes, according to the manual you can. Trust me, this thing could juice a sheet of paper, it is that efficient. I have juiced parsley and it sqeezes the living crap out of it and leaves just dry husk behind. This juicer gives me 32 ounces of juice and usally a 12 ounce coffee cup of dry pulp everytime I juice. There is no doubt you could do wheat grass in it, but I would alternate wheat grass then celery, wheat grass then carrot, etc.

If you only want to juice wheatgrass, I recommend getting a juicer designed specifically for wheatgrass. Since they only do one thing well, they are often much less expensive, too.

What was sent to me was labeled "Organic Wheatgrass". Which can be used for cats but it's definitely for juicing. The instructions you get are geared towards human consumption.Thanks!Jenny

You can use all Leafy vegetables, hard vegetables (Carrot, beetroot, cucumber, bottle gourd etc), hard fruits (like apples -- but the yield is not that good). I gifted this juicer to my father. I actually use an other juicer (MJ445 Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer) and i feel this is more reliable in the long run.

Yes. The young grass does not do well on human digestion. However, 2 oz of the juice will make a great health benefit.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Does anyone know if any breville juicers can juice wheatgrass? You cant juice wheatgrass the same way that you juice other fruits and vegetables... correct?

Hi,We haven't done wheat grass in it. We love the juicer though. Good luck!

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

Well, I've never done that. What I do is to grow the grass from those seeds and then make the juice from the wheat grass. You can find videos online of how to do it, is really simple.

It sure does wheat grass. This juicer does a great job. I usually start with the juicy fruits and grass and lettuce and help the juicy staff go through with celery and kale.

Yes it will juice greens if you add water. If you over load it the motor will burn and stop

Hi Robert and GymLady, I asked Breville the same thing: http://getsatisfaction.com/breville/topics/can_you_juice_wheat_grass Here's there answer: "Great question. We get this one a lot. You can juice leafy greens in your Breville Juicer. The juicers with the lower speeds will work the best. We recommend wrapping and compacting as much as possible, the wheat grass in a lettuce leaf to provide more of a solid structure to extract from. It is much like a cheese grater. It is much easier to grate a block of cheese than a slice of cheese because of the flimsiness. Furthermore, our juicers are essentially made to extract juice from juicy fruits and vegetables, and while they may be able to extract some juice from wheat grass, the optimal type of juicer for this type of substance is a masticating juicer." Hope that helps.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

I used it for wheat grass. The fibre came out absolutely chewed and try. Every drop of juice was extracted. I didn't cut wheatgrass. So the fiber was caught up. I had to pull it out. Next time I used grapes in between. I had no problem with fiber.Since then I have used it for various leaves..works well but I have always used some other fruit or veggie in between leaves. Not a problem for me as I can't drink greens alone. I need a sweet fruit added.

Hi Vanessa. I have not tried wheat grass, but I make spinach, kale juices all the time and I am pretty happy with results.
