will it juice wheatgrass?

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!

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

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 won't do wheat grass straight but you can stuff it in small peppers and juice it that way, if you don't mind the blend.

Yes, this juicer works with wheatgrass. It works very well, better than the champion juicer.

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

No. I doubt it has the torque to juice anything with with a thick peel. The holes in the strainer are tiny. U prob would need something like the nutri-bullet for something that.

Hi S. Sudduth, an acme will NOT juice wheat grass. The manual juicers are the BEST for extracting the driest wheat grass leavings, HOWEVER if you want a juicer that will juice veg. fruit and wheat grass, I would suggest getting a Samson Juicer, because 1. it is a 6 and 1 juicer/oil expeller/pasta maker/veggie slicer/juicer/herb juicer including wheat grass and pine needles/meat grinder (only so-so on that, it mostly tore the meat not grind). It is easy to clean, can make banana ice cream without special blades, and honestly, I have found it good for everything BUT old fruit: it tends to foam up quite a bit. If you decide to do old apples, I would suggest asking Samson for a sleeve (like a norwalk sleeve, but closed on one side) so you can squeeze the juice from the pulp that is so thick, you'll need to do this. The price? Under 289.00 the last time I saw them. Next would be a champion juicer, the last would be a norwalk because of their costs being so prohibited. I would NOT recommend a centristical juicer (this is what a LaLanne and Acme are) because they spin the juice out away from the barrel filter for anything but fruit and veggie juicing and would recommend that you DON"T use this for seeded fruits like grapes, because it is hard on the machine and the blades tend to spit the seeds everywhere. Manual juicers for Wheatgrass are fine, but very time consuming and hard on the arms, if you are doing any volume.

I believe so. If you haven't tried wheat grass before, understand that it's REALLY STRONG tasting. I ended-up giving my canister away to someone else.

Wheatgrass tastes really fresh..somewhat sweet. I am not a fan of wheatgrass juice..in fact I really don't like it at all lol...I drink it for nutritional purposes only. But when u grow it fresh and juice it it really is wayy better tasting. Hope this helps you ;)

If you have a good juicer. I use kenmore (electric) doesn't do well. I read it on forums and hand crank seems to do the best. I got a hand crank one on amazon but all my grass died before getting the chance.

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.

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.

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 have tried juicing wheatgrass with this juicer, however I feel it seems to be a bit wasteful compared to a juicer specifically for wheatgrass.

this will not juice spinach, kale or chard, you will get very little juice with this juicer, I would go with another juicer...

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 this juicer juices beets well and greens etc., if your peaches and apples are soft they will be mushy, they recommend you use hard fruit ,no jams it chews it very smoothly ,also I juice wheatgrass, as well, also make sorbet , they have a great demonstration on YouTube.com.Best juicer, I highly recommend it. Good luck.
