Has anyone used this for wheatgrass to be used in juicing? If so, how long did it take to sprout and how much juice does it yield?

Many people use the Freshlife to grow wheatgrass. There are many factors that effect the growth rate and the yield. The average growth time is about 7 days. When it is 5-7 inches tall it should yield about 5 - 6 ounces of juice.

It grows super fast. I use it in my slostar juicer and it gets ALL the juice out

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

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

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.

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!!

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 wouldn't reccomend it....this juicer is good with juicy fruits and vegetablles, not so much with leaves and grasses...

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.

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.

Don't overload it. The machine makes a kind of death stretch while juicing wheatgrass so keep it light and the juice will flow

Yes ! I grow my own supply of wheatgrass and this juicer does a fabulous job !

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

I do use this for making kale juice. Since it's a manual juicer, it takes a lot more effort than just stuffing uncut kale leaves into an electric model. I take most of the stem off the leaf, don't put more than one leaf in at a time, alternate with cuke or apple, and that works. Don't get this juicer if you don't want a little work out in order to have a refreshing, healthy drink.

It can juice wheatgrass and other leafy greens. I frequently juice kale and spinach. I've also done collard & mustard greens. It is one of the few juicers that can handle a range of items from very hard (carrots, beets) to soft like wheatgrass.

I have a different sprouter but never had an issue sprouting wheat. No soil is needed - the grass grows to about 3 inches in 7 days. I grow it for my guinea pig. I haven't grown it taller than that so I am not sure if at some point soil would be needed to get it a size where you can use it for e.g. Juicing.

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.

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!
