Is this wheatgrass or cat grass? It is said that they are not the same. I need wheatgrass for nutritious juicing.

The package I have is labeled "Organic red wheat berries." I doubt it makes any difference. I have given the cats here everything from wheat, oats, rye and lawn grass. They like all of them the same.

This is both wheat grass and cat grass. I grow this for myself for juicing, and I also grow some for my cats.

What was sent to me was labeled "Organic Wheatgrass". Which can be used for cats but it's definitely for juicing. The instructions you get are geared towards human consumption.Thanks!Jenny

Yes, it does work with wheatgrass. However, this machine makes the juicing process awkward and laborious as the suction cup feet continually loses gripping power, causing the machine to move around quite a bit. Also, on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best and 1 being poor), I would rate the amount of juice extraction a 2.

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 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.

I believe it is. I use it for growing wheatgrass for juicing and it. It sprouts beautifully and high yields... hope this helps.

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.

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.

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

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

We grew this in my classroom. I soaked the seed overnight and the kids sprinkled it on top of potting soil in the shape of letters. It grew very fast and well, in our classroom, next to a window. If by cat grass you mean catnip, this is not what it is. It is wheat.

Vertical Auger juicers are "adequate" but not the best to juice wheatgrass. I have juiced wheatgrass in this machine and it does fine. But I"m not juicing wheatgrass only, i've combined wheatgrass with other ingredients. For this purpose it does well. If your looking to juice mostly or strictly wheatgrass I would look at the horizontal auger style juicers IE: Omega 8006 or buy a dedicated wheatgrass juicer. If you looking to juice wheatgrass as well as other fruits and veggies then this does a good job. Hope this helps

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.

This juicer works great on wheat grass. It produces very dry pulp. We find wheat grass is just too strong for us to drink. We juice kale at the end of juicing a Tablespoon of flax seed, a knuckle of ginger root, followed by apples, celery, beets tops and roots, and carrots. We separate the bitter and very dry kale pulp from all the rest of the fiber to compost. The apple and other fiber we add pomegranate juice to, along with Ceylon (real) cinnamon,a pinch of cloves and some chopped nuts. We mush this into a dough then roll into balls to make raw vegetable "cookies" which are awesome and supply the fiber which gut microbes need to create satisfaction for us in fullness. We drink and eat these raw vegitable cookies each morning and love it ,really love it. Sometime we put a fresh raspberry on top of each one, really better than tollhouse, we follow with about half cup of cooked little red bead with garlic, red onion, and a fewcooked mushrooms since the health benefits of these cooked plantfoods are tremendous for satiation, fighting cancer and longevity. A good site to visit for latest research is NutricianFacts.org(not dot com) Mr Greger at NutricianFacts provides all the lastest research in hundreds of 5 minute videos. We are attempting to grow baby broccoli greens to juice since the research shows they are at least 20 time higher in nutrients than bigger broccoli leaves for juicing,why eat only the flower and waste the leaves. Dr Joel Furhman,of Eat To Live, has also been very helpful in our quest for optimum wellbeing. The best to your health Rachel

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

yes, Wheatgrass is great for cats. It is the only thing I give my 10 year old cat.

Doubt it. There are items on the Todd's Seeds website that are described as "certified organic" when you look at the detailed description, but the wheatgrass product does not have this.

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