I only need this juicer for wheatgrass. Can this juicer extracted grass juices?

Hello Liz. I have never juiced wheatgrass, but from the leafy green that I have used in this juicer I would not recommend it. From the research that I have done you might want to get a juicer that has a hand crank that way the wheatgrass doesnt clog up the juicer.

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.

Hi,We haven't done wheat grass in it. We love the juicer though. Good luck!

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

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 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.

No attachment. Juicer is great but you probably wouldn't get much out of that grass.

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.

It will get juice out. I do juice kale. Although My understanding is that the best for leaves is a masticating juicer.

I have successfully juiced spinach in this machine. It is not meant for wheat grass and you need a masticating juicer for that.

Hi Colleen, the only greens I have tried are kale, dandelion greens and spinach (cucumbers and apples too, but they are not greens). Haven't tried wheatgrass. While it gets the juice out, I find that if I run the remains through 3-4 more times, I still get more juice. I have a masticating juicer as well and that does a much more efficient job of juicing, although it's at least twice as expensive.

Nope. This is for very small amounts only. In my opinion you would be better off getting an electric juicer.

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

Greens? Not well. Wheatgrass? Not at all!!!! You need a masticating juicer for that.

Yes you can! I have juiced thick kale, celery and many coarse veggies. Not wheat grass yet. In the book it says it works fine. I am not sure about the attachment. Make sure the inner core is well oiled. I use coconut oil so the rotating device with tiny teeth like blades rotate smoothly.

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!!

I would say no, you have to add water which makes smoothies. A juice extractor makes pure juice.
