Wheatgrass Does it do Wheatgrass? Tell me about it!

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?

From all the reviews I've read on various juicers, you'll need a "macerating" extractor as opposed to the Breville "centrifugal" extractor for your wheatgrass. I can't tell you which one because I don't do anything but fruit juices, but check Amazon as well as Epinions.

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

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)

I haven't juiced wheat grass, but I can tell you that it doesn't do well with leafy greens. I'd go with a masticating machine for wheat grass.

Yes, many customers use this for Wheatgrass. Growing time is usually 5-10 days depending on a lot of different factors.

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.

Wheatgrass should be grown in soil- Canadian sphagnum peat moss to be exact. Wheatgrass also needs much more space to grow taller (over 10 inches in height). Type in WheatChic Wheatgrass Rack in the Amazon search bar and you will see a proper and serious way to grow a daily dose of wheatgrass. The trays are drilled to allow drainage. Azomite is provided for the soil so the grass can absorb maximum nutrient potential. GSE (grapefruit seed extract) is provided to mix with the water to deter mold growth. A juicer is also included in this complete kit for everyone serious about growing wheatgrass for EVERYDAY consumption! Wheatgrass should be grown in soil- Canadian sphagnum peat moss to be exact.

Definitely! I purchased the yard turf for thatching but surprising it does more than thatch. It's a good investment.

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.

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

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.

It works great for both white and brown rice. I tried steel cut oatmeal and turned out well, but so far have not tried wheat, barley. According to the Aroma

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.

It is perfect for that. You will be shocked when you see how much juice it gets from wheatgrass!

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.

I used it once and it did ok... but I would try again using soil next time It grows wheatgrass great!

I have used it on bluegrass, fescue, perennial rye grass mix. As others have said, the point is it kills sedge, not grass.
