Leslie, it's perfect for celery, cucumbers and leafy greens. I've never tried sprouts, but that sounds amazing.I do both spinach and kale and don't forget your limes and/or lemons every once in a while for a different taste also.

Yes this juicer does great with all kinds of fruits and veggies. We have had its for over 4 years now and have daily put everything in it from strawberries and watermelon to celery, cucumbers, kale and spinach. I have even made almonds milk with it. It juices carrots, sweet potatoes and bets with ease. I only suggest that if you do root veggies to cut them up thin to save wear and tear on the motor.

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

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.

I use it for kale. I think it would be good with sprouts. I don't think it would do well with cucumbers or celery.

Absolutely! Its great for pretty much everything. I will say don't try and put anything frozen through, it will lock up the screw and the machine will shut down. And the highly moist fruits and veggies will give plenty juice, you can always run the expelled fibers back through the grinder. Hope this helps!

The Samson 6 in 1 pulverizes pretty much anything you put in it and the juice is extracted out the bottom while the solids go out the front. If there is juice in it it will come out. I have used it to make a really tasty version of V8 juice with cucumber, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. You will love it.

All I have tried so far, like kale, is parsley and collard greens. It has a bit of a rough time with them, but, it does the task. I break up the greens with pieces of cucumber, which pushes all the greens through. Otherwise, I LOVE this juicer.

After researching a lot online, the Omega was the winner to me in what I discovered in reviews & videos concerning juicing greens and wheatgrass. That's what I was looking for in a juicer. I have juiced leafy greens with hard vegetables & hard fruits and it does very well, very, very minimal foam. I have not juiced wheatgrass yet.

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.

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

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.

Yes, you can juice wheatgrass alone. If you have trouble with clogs you can use the reverse mode and or remove the clog easily in less than a minute. The juicer comes apart quite easily and the auger and all parts are very easily accessible.Thanks,Mike - CoolShinyStuff

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.

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.

I have used this for making every kind of juice. Since kale is kind of dry, you might want to combine it with celery or cucumber. Dicing the veggies before juicing helps too. Smaller pieces going in make for better extraction.

I don't get much juice from Kale or parsley which are the only leafy greens I have tried. But I don't expect much juice since there isn't much juice in them.

No, it is not good for leafy greens. You should look into a masticating juicer for that. These types of juicers that have a grinding disk are ideal for firm, hard fruits and vegetables.

This is the only wheatgrass seeds we use for growning wheatgrass and juicing. We tried some whole foods bulk seeds but these grow much better I do regular and aquaponics type.

Juices everything. I make a juice that includes papaya, apples, pears, spinach, celery, parsley, kale, and cucumber. The opening is like 3 in so I have to cut some things down to fit but I but the whole thing -- skin, seeds, stems, etc. it has no problem. Fair warning -- keep an eye on the pulp shoot. Things like greens and skins will accumulate and can cause the juicer to clog up. However, I was making two pitchers of juice at the time. But I love it

I haven't tried juicing Wheat Grass yet, only because it seems like no shops around me don't sell it. But, I have juiced mint leaves, cliantro, parsley and Basil. I've seen on youtube, where they use the Omega to juice Wheat grass. One last thing, the Omega 8004 and Omega 8006 are exactly the same machine except for different color. So if you're on a budget the 8004 will do just fine.

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.

It does lettuce, chard, kale and other leafy greens with no problem. It will juice herbs, we use a lot of cilantro and chives, but I will warn you that you do have to use larger amounts then you probably would with a masticating juicer such as the omega. I find they you get the most about of juice out of herbs if you ball them up and insert them of wrap something like kale or lettuce around the herb so that it does not get lost inside!
