can you juice greens or wheat grass with this ?

Yes, but if your greens are in a bunch, I would break or cut them in half first. This will make for less wear and tear on the juicer's motor.

You can juice anything in it. It works great but is a pain to clean. I've used mine one.

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

I find this juicer performs same as jack l. Juicer per comment/review I made months ago. I have had juiceman. Leland and dash juicers.

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

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.

Greens are no problem...we have juiced kale, carrots (not a green but...) parsley, chard and spinach...they are the most common greens used in juicing recipes. Go easy on the chard and parsley. The chard can impart the taste of dirt to your juice, which might I add, is not at all pleasant. Parsley is extremely overpowering and will kill the flavors of anything else in your juice and leave your taste buds in a state of absolute ruin.

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

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.

It is not a masticating juicer if that is what you mean, as for wheatgrass juicing. It has various speeds and does do green vegetables, though probably not as efficient as the slow juicers. Hope that helps. Still recommend this juicer, very much so.

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, I use this mainly for wheatgrass. Use a small bunch about 1 inch long at a time and the suction cup works fine. If you put a lot in and it wont work. The pulp come out very dry and the juice is dark green very concentrated. I have it for almost a year now and still look like brand new and still use it every morning for my wheatgrass shot of the day.

Yes it will juice greens if you add water. If you over load it the motor will burn and stop

No, because I don't like it enough to use it more. It's not good for greens like the reviews say. If you have more money to spend, spend it on a better juicer.

I think this is mainly a greens and wheat grass juicer. I've used it for mostly wheat grass that I've grown. It works grat for that. I've also used it to juice kale, spinach and other greens. Love it for that. I juice carrots, apples,beets,etc. In a masticating juicer.

You can use all Leafy vegetables, hard vegetables (Carrot, beetroot, cucumber, bottle gourd etc), hard fruits (like apples -- but the yield is not that good). I gifted this juicer to my father. I actually use an other juicer (MJ445 Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer) and i feel this is more reliable in the long run.

I do not recommend using this juice press for grinding. It is designed for pressing juice from vegetation. Actually it is good specifically for wheat grass.

Yes. The Garden of Life has found that by "Juicing" is a more healthy alternative than being dried and ground up. All the greens found in this product are juiced, which allows you to get the maximum amount of nutrients. The product is treated with a low temperature drying process, resulting in a powder that is densely packed with water soluble nutrients.

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 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

It juices greens just fine, this is where it excels. It works much better than centrifugal juicers where your greens will get caught up in the blade instead of getting juiced. So far I've tried wheatgrass, spinach, beet, celery, and carrot greens and all did great. Only a cold press juicer can do a decent job with greens.

Leafy greens are juiced, but the quantity of juice is small. I like to bunch the kale so that the bunch meets the shredding blade. Otherwise, the kale parts break away without getting juiced.
