Is it good for juicing wheatgrass?

it does, a lot less than what i expected btw.. but i guess that is common with wheatgrass, the problem is the cleaning up after juicing

Yes, I'm pretty sure that was the use for which it was originally intended, though it also does a great job with leafy greens such as kale and chard. I think all around it is the best manual juicer. The company is also very good to work with, and replaced the strainer at no charge when it developed cracks because I was juicing carrots and apples. (Did a good job on those as well, but I think the strainer basket couldn't take the extra pressure.) All in all I'm really happy with the juicer, but in a perfect world all the parts would be stainless steel.

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

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

I haven't tried wheat grass but it works well for kale and spinach. Sorry I can't help...

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 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 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 used it to grow wheatgrass for juicing where I drank the juice and composted the fibrous part so am not sure how fibrous it would be to eat. I've never heard of putting wheatgrass on a sandwich... Are you thinking of alfalfa sprouts maybe? That's what restaurants usually put on sandwiches and salads.

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 think it does a good job except with small raspberries.... But I also recommend using the pulp in cooking meat dishes like meat loaf or stuffed chicken breast etc. that way there is no waste period. I also recommend adding great flavored like freshineple to all my juices...I blend carrots and kale and pineapple and apples together frequently. The most powerful juicer I think is the ninja....but it I not quiet like the fusion....the fusion is also easy and quick to clean. :)

Well, I've never done that. What I do is to grow the grass from those seeds and then make the juice from the wheat grass. You can find videos online of how to do it, is really simple.

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.

I haven't juiced wheat grass, but I can tell you that it doesn't do well with leafy greens. I'd go with a masticating machine for wheat grass.

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

The mashine is the best for wheatgrass juice. it comes with 5 years unlimited warrantee. other compatitor is very limited. thank you.

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.

Most definitely! I have juiced about everything in this juicer. It does a particularly great job on greens compared to centrifugal juicers, but it will pulverize the juice out of just about everything.

have not tried wheatgrass yet but we have been using kale from our garden and it does a great job!
