When juicing wheatgrass, does the pulp come out dry or wet?

This juicer is so hard keep stable that it takes ask the fun out of juicing. I returned this product. If you are seriously wanting to juice buy a masticating juicer like Green Star or Kuvings. I juice daily.

The pulp comes out wet on first pass, moist on second, dry on third pass. Even though the wheat grass comes out wet still after first pass, a lot of juice has been extracted. I am extremely happy with this product. The juicer gets loose and needs to be tightened when too much pulp is put in the juicer at one time. I juice frequently.

At first a few drops of juice come out the end where the pulp will come so the first pulp may seem wet if it drops into the spot where the juice dripped. As you continue to turn the handle eventually the pulp will come out slowly. It looks like a tube. It is normally quite dry by then. You can always put it back in and juice it some more. We are happy to help people get the best use out of the Hurricane and feel it is the best manual juicer available. Hope that helps!

Almost dry. The end cap is adjustable, so you can really squeeze out the juice if you want.

The pulp is fairly dry. I tried putting the pulp back in the juicer and i really didnt get much of anything the second time through.

Hi Eleanor D. I love my Waring juicer. The pulp stays inside, and it's really dry!!! No pulp in the juice though. :)

Yes, you can juice wheatgrass alone. If you have trouble with clogs you can use the reverse mode and or remove the clog easily in less than a minute. The juicer comes apart quite easily and the auger and all parts are very easily accessible.Thanks,Mike - CoolShinyStuff

I tried Kale the first day... it worked, but how efficiently I can't say, because it was the one and only time I did kale. I have read somewhere that the pulp is supposed to be fairly dry. There was some moisture left in the pulp, but not a great amount, so I would think it was pretty efficient.

I've juiced greens successfully (although with a lot of fiber as noted), there's an attachment (mentioned below), but I've never juiced wheatgrass myself as I am gluten sensitive.

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!

I have successfully juiced spinach in this machine. It is not meant for wheat grass and you need a masticating juicer for that.

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.

It is not a masticating juicer if that is what you mean, as for wheatgrass juicing. It has various speeds and does do green vegetables, though probably not as efficient as the slow juicers. Hope that helps. Still recommend this juicer, very much so.

Mastication is defined by the dictionary as "chewing". This juicers shreds the contents as they enter and compresses and continues to shred as the pulp leaves. So I would say yes it is. The pulp is very dry when it exits but I feed it through again sonetimes to squeeze a little more out. ;)

Like most juicers, it does leave wet pulp behind in the canister/basket. However, this is one of the most powerful and best juicers I have used. The pulp is only a waste if you don't use it (ie. bake with it or throw it in a blender to make a smoothie)

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.

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 does a good job with wheat grass. i also have a wheat grass only juicer and it works as well as that one.

Hey Meghan,some of the pulp goes into the top but not much. I do not stop and clean while I am juicing I have emptied the external collector and just continued with the juicing process..I only clean up when I am done juicing for the week.Sherrie

Greens? Not well. Wheatgrass? Not at all!!!! You need a masticating juicer for that.

Yea, you can juice just soft fruits/veggies just fine. I made a Wheatgrass and pineapple juice this morning, both softness. I've on many occasions used solely Wheatgrass /other greens. The rrecommendation of using a hard item in conjunction is to make sure there is no clogging. However, it isn't necessary. And if it does clog, not take a less than a minute to rinse out the clog and reattach.
