Can you juice wheat grass with this juicer

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.

Yes, If you log into Utube, there are many vids on the jouicers.Just search for Omega.

When I have juiced wheatgrass, I had to push it through over multiple passes to get the juice fully extracted. Yes, it is possible, but you do want to run the wheatgrass through a few times.

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.

I used it for wheat grass. The fibre came out absolutely chewed and try. Every drop of juice was extracted. I didn't cut wheatgrass. So the fiber was caught up. I had to pull it out. Next time I used grapes in between. I had no problem with fiber. Since then I have used it for various leaves..works well but I have always used some other fruit or veggie in between leaves. Not a problem for me as I can't drink greens alone. I need a sweet fruit added.

Yes, it does a good job with kale. I would recommend juicing kale before anything else so the screen is clean and you get the most juice from it. Anything leafy I would recommend cleaning it after juicing a decent amount as the screen gets little pieces stuck in it, but I think this is true of any juicer.

I'm sorry, do not know the answer to that. I don't use it that way, only for my smoothies, fruits and spinach or kale and whatever I toss in. But I do not use it as a juicer.

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

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.

I don't know what you mean by a "blender thing". If you refer to a blender, you will blend the wheat grass not juice it. Since the fibers in wheat grass are pretty tough juicing is recommend, but if you blend it very well in a smoothie it might be ok.

I had one. Hated it. Did a terrible job juicing even basic things like carrots or apples. You had to practically dice everything to get it in. I got rid of mine after two weeks and got a Jack Lalane power juicer. Works great. But it's not made for leafy things like kale or wheatgrass.

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.

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

I have not had a problem juicing grasses, other than the initial flavor. ;)

To be honest, and I LOVE my Breville, if you are looking to extract all the juice in greens, you would be better with a "green juicer", which presses the greens to extract the juice. The centrifugal force juicers really don't work well with wheat grass and greens. OR you can juice your fruits and veggies, and place the greens in a Vitamix and then add them with the pulp!!

To be honest, I don't know. I've only done wheatgrass in this. I'm thinking though that it would be ok for other leafy greens since it's the auger type of juicer. Good luck to you on that!

No, you can't do wheat grass. You need a screw type juicer. My Big Boss only lasted a couple of months of once a day use. It produces more pulp than juice, which is good if you have a compost pile, but wastes a lot of food and nutrients. Plus, it doesn't seal correctly so you have to wrap a towel around it or the walls get covered in pulp. I'm no mechanical dummy either. I've built cars and motorcycles and built sets in Hollywood for 14 years. My Big Boss was tossed in the garbage two months after buying it. Horribly designed machine. Make the investment and buy a screw type juicer. You can even do seeds with them and there's barely no waste, which will pay for the difference quickly. No, you can't do wheat grass.
