How well does this do with wheatgrass?

Vertical Auger juicers are "adequate" but not the best to juice wheatgrass. I have juiced wheatgrass in this machine and it does fine. But I"m not juicing wheatgrass only, i've combined wheatgrass with other ingredients. For this purpose it does well. If your looking to juice mostly or strictly wheatgrass I would look at the horizontal auger style juicers IE: Omega 8006 or buy a dedicated wheatgrass juicer. If you looking to juice wheatgrass as well as other fruits and veggies then this does a good job. Hope this helps

Good question. I have not tried wheatgrass yet. Based on its power and the way it juices kale, it would be worth trying wheatgrass.

I have never juiced wheatgrass. It does well with parsley, cilantro and some of the smaller leafy greens. Sorry.

I used it to grow wheatgrass for juicing where I drank the juice and composted the fibrous part so am not sure how fibrous it would be to eat. I've never heard of putting wheatgrass on a sandwich... Are you thinking of alfalfa sprouts maybe? That's what restaurants usually put on sandwiches and salads.

good question! I just started using it for my organic soil to grow my wheatgrass in. It says to add it to the top of the soil before spreading the sprouted wheatgrass on it. I plan on adding it to my garden, but don't know when to do this either. I ran out of it and my wheatgrass did not get as green or grow as fast.

Hi, yes wheatgrass can be grown indoors right on your kitchen counter or as a lovely centerpiece on the coffee table or dinning room table. Enjoy!

I haven't tried wheat grass itself, but I would imagine so since I was able to juice spinach leaves and other delicate leafy greens. It may not be the most effecient for wheat grass since they have machines specifically for that, but I remember reading other reviews saying it was possible when I was thinking of purchasing it.

The grass will look the same, or very similar. You can grow wheatgrass with either, however the nutrition will be better in the hard red wheat. That is the one we recommend for growing wheatgrass.

Works for me on actively growing crabgrass with less damage to fescue lawn than MSMA, but not as quick a kill.

I used it for spots of "bentgrass" and it killed it. Unfortunately I sprayed in the fall, I know it killed it, but I'm away and can't say how it is now. Asto area I would say at the mix amounts in directions 8 oz should do the job with some left.

Yes I've used mine for several years and grind almost solely sprouted wheat. Never had an issue.

Yes! Quite nicely! It is a masticating juicer, which is the type that can juice wheatgrass.

It has a adjustment for corseness and I have read it is good for cracked wheat but have not tried it with wheat but I use it with whole grain rice and it works great.

Yes this machine can extract wheatgrass juice...but you are juicing vegetables just make sure you do not overload the machine, meaning do not feed the machine too much at one time. With wheat grass you won't have A problem

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.

I have not juiced wheatgrass with my Breville. When I did my research on it, I had read that it wouldn't juice any greens very well. I don't juice wheatgrass, but I do juice cilantro and all sorts of greens (kale, spinach, chard, etc.) I haven't had any problem with it what-so-ever. When I juice greens - particularly cilantro - I twist the bunch into a rope (sort of - make a tightly packed bunch) and I follow it with something firm - like an apple or carrots. Hope this helps.

No. Wheat grass requires a special blade in order for it to not come out stringy.

it does, a lot less than what i expected btw.. but i guess that is common with wheatgrass, the problem is the cleaning up after juicing

It's not the best juicer for greens or wheat grass but it does an ok job with the greens when combine with fruits or veggies that have high water/juice content like carrots, watermelom, cucumber, etc. If you plan to juice a lot of greens I would recommend you get a slow masticating juicer.
