How well does it extract juice from wheatgrass?

Don't overload it. The machine makes a kind of death stretch while juicing wheatgrass so keep it light and the juice will flow

I wish I could answer for you. Sorry. We haven't tried the wheatgrass. From everything I've read about extractors, the mechanisms in this style (masticating) are ideal for extracting wheatgrass without heating or destroying enzymes, but I've not tried it personally.

Yes it can. Slow rpm masticating juicers are the best for juicing wheatgrass. Many people juice wheatgrass with a hand powered crank style juicer because of the low cost compared to a powered machine, but the Kuvings is a great value for this task. It may not last as long as an Omega but it will keep you healthy!

If you want to juice primarily wheat grass (or greens in general) this juicer isn't the best choice. Look at the omega 800x series (8003-8006).

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.

It is not very good with leafy stuff. Celery also leaves a lot of fiber stuck on the blade and eventually starts to heat the juice (not a good thing). That being said I am very satisfied with the product. Been using it twice a day ever since I bought it. Easy to clean and very effective in juice making. Also used it for almond butter. Excellent results. That's my 2 cents.

I think you can juice wheatgrass using the champion with some kind of special attachment, but I don't ...because I just buy and use the world's best IMO barleygrass (denser in nutrients than weatgrass) and LeafGreens (40X more nutritious than barleylife alone, but more expensive). Please visit myaimstore.com/genesis129 and order there. Believe me, it's WELL worth it. Forget juicing at home when you can buy the best at about the same cost across the board. It travels well, too! Only takes 30 seconds for a serving and you're on your way. I've been using it over 10 years.

I haven't tried juicing Wheat Grass yet, only because it seems like no shops around me don't sell it. But, I have juiced mint leaves, cliantro, parsley and Basil. I've seen on youtube, where they use the Omega to juice Wheat grass. One last thing, the Omega 8004 and Omega 8006 are exactly the same machine except for different color. So if you're on a budget the 8004 will do just fine.

Hello Liz. I have never juiced wheatgrass, but from the leafy green that I have used in this juicer I would not recommend it. From the research that I have done you might want to get a juicer that has a hand crank that way the wheatgrass doesnt clog up the juicer.

I have not tried wheatgrass but my opinion is that it will not work as well at all. The wheatgrass is too fine to get efficient juice out of the machine. Unless you load a lot of it in there. You need to buy one with a smaller nozel that will handle the fine leafy consistency of wheatgrass. I juice lager greens like Kale, dandelion greens, and beat greens and it works well. Also works well for celeary and other juice veggies. Carrots I would prefer a jack la lane juice type of machine it's much better, this goes for fruit as well. This machine is not great with fruit it does not extract all the juice you would expect. a lot goes to waste.

By juicer, if you mean "Does it extract juice from produce, and separate out the pulp and fiber?" then, the answer is no. It does not extract juice. It is a high-power, high-speed blender. It pulverizes the fruit (or veggies) and creates a smooth puree (or very juicy smooth puree depending on how juicy your produce is). I guess you can do as jonkitvn suggested and filter the pulp and fiber out, but why would you want to do that? The Vitamix makes the best tasting blended fruits and veggie smoothies/beverages. I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you are looking to do something like make juice from wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) then you probably need a juicer. If you use the Vitamix, then you just add the wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) to the blender with liquids (i.e., water) and/or fruit and blend it together, eating the whole plant food. Hope that helps.

Honestly, I really have no idea. I have never seen the actual wheatgrass juice for sale anywhere, and I have never researched it.

I have not put wheat grass into it yet. I can say this though as I use this juicer more the more I am disappointed in how is handles greens (i.e. kale, spinach, parsley). There are places inside the "bowl" where the fibers get stuck, making cleaning a chore.

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.
