Wheatgrass: Does it do Wheatgrass?

Hi Robert and GymLady, I asked Breville the same thing: http://getsatisfaction.com/breville/topics/can_you_juice_wheat_grass Here's there answer: "Great question. We get this one a lot. You can juice leafy greens in your Breville Juicer. The juicers with the lower speeds will work the best. We recommend wrapping and compacting as much as possible, the wheat grass in a lettuce leaf to provide more of a solid structure to extract from. It is much like a cheese grater. It is much easier to grate a block of cheese than a slice of cheese because of the flimsiness. Furthermore, our juicers are essentially made to extract juice from juicy fruits and vegetables, and while they may be able to extract some juice from wheat grass, the optimal type of juicer for this type of substance is a masticating juicer." Hope that helps.

I have successfully juiced spinach in this machine. It is not meant for wheat grass and 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.

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

I wish I could answer for you. Sorry. We haven't tried the wheatgrass. From everything I've read about extractors, the mechanisms in this style (masticating) are ideal for extracting wheatgrass without heating or destroying enzymes, but I've not tried it personally.

I imagine it does, it has 2 containers one for the juice and the other one for the pulp. It works very well for wheatgrass!

Yes, it works on crabgrass. I love this gadget. I ordered two - one for my son. We had fun pulling weeds one afternoon :-)

yes, it does a good job with wheat grass. i also have a wheat grass only juicer and it works as well as that one.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hi, yes wheatgrass can be grown indoors right on your kitchen counter or as a lovely centerpiece on the coffee table or dinning room table. Enjoy!

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

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.
