I regularly blend cilantro to make a vinaigrette in mine, the leaves become tiny flakes when blended with v/o.

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.

Not real good, you could wrap it up with another veggie, or tie it in a knot, when I do items like kale and other leafy items I either roll them up or tie them in knots with themselves to give it bulk, or wrap it around some other veggie like a carrot or something with more substance.

Yes, it does handle greens however, you will want to juice something a little less dense after. I do a handful of greens first and then add 3-4 celery stalks. Adding a juicy vegetable or fruit right after is the best way to extract the juice from the greens. Greens (normally kale or spinach) are always the base in very juice I make. This is an excellent juicer, great investment! It has a lot of power, juices almost anything easily. And it is very easy to clean.

YES! I load it with kale, carrots, beats, broccoli, cucumbers... Great juicer.

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.

To be honest, and I LOVE my Breville, if you are looking to extract all the juice in greens, you would be better with a "green juicer", which presses the greens to extract the juice. The centrifugal force juicers really don't work well with wheat grass and greens. OR you can juice your fruits and veggies, and place the greens in a Vitamix and then add them with the pulp!!

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.

Yes, but I haven't tried it just with kale. I put kale in my smoothies, so there are other ingredients with it.

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

Sorry I can't help you there. My daughter and I both have one and we love it for smoothies and slushy drinks. It makes those as smooth as you want. We never tried greens in it.

I don't see why not. I bought some organic wheat (not this) and used it for grass seed. I was not about to put treated seed on my lawn. It grew beautifully.

I suppose you could for the short term. It's not air tight. When I have leftover greens (no dressing, croutons, etc.) I put them in a zip lock with a paper towel liner. But I love the salad spiinner for drying my greens, works like a charm.

In my experience, YES! I add flax seed and frozen fruit to my greens (spinach, kale and chard) so it is a thick smoothie, but it blends it up great.

Yes! I use it primarily for smoothies, be they green or fruit. It gets kale chopped to the point you don't have to chew it! I've had this for a year now, still going strong! Hope this helps!

You can do the Kale (chop up the stems), Chia seeds, frozen fruit, fresh fruit, softer vegetables, flaxseed. I'd really hesitate on putting raw beets, potato, sweet potato, and similar items in there!!!!! Check the manufacturer website for more info. They have numerous recipes, additional blade assembly options and far more info than I, or Amazon can provide. Also, replacement parts. And I am pretty sure a Customer Service number to call for help too! I don't know about cheaper models. We got one from Sur La Table for one daughter in 2011 (don't know model) and a different model in 2013 from Costco for our other daughter. Hope that helps!

I don't usually keep leafy greens in the mesh bags in the frig....I do keep mushrooms, zucchini in them. I use the mesh bags for trips to the grocery store for any kind of veggie.
