When I have juiced wheatgrass, I had to push it through over multiple passes to get the juice fully extracted. Yes, it is possible, but you do want to run the wheatgrass through a few times.

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

I was wondering the exact same thing. Does anyone know if any breville juicers can juice wheatgrass? You cant juice wheatgrass the same way that you juice other fruits and vegetables... correct?

I have never juiced wheatgrass. It does well with parsley, cilantro and some of the smaller leafy greens. Sorry.

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

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.

I have not juiced wheatgrass with my Breville. When I did my research on it, I had read that it wouldn't juice any greens very well. I don't juice wheatgrass, but I do juice cilantro and all sorts of greens (kale, spinach, chard, etc.) I haven't had any problem with it what-so-ever. When I juice greens - particularly cilantro - I twist the bunch into a rope (sort of - make a tightly packed bunch) and I follow it with something firm - like an apple or carrots. Hope this helps.

To be honest, I don't know. I've only done wheatgrass in this. I'm thinking though that it would be ok for other leafy greens since it's the auger type of juicer. Good luck to you on that!

Yes - I can answer your question. Take off the large plastic cup on top, and the yellow juicer sits on top of the bottom bowl, which has a spout. Cut your oranges (or limes, lemons, etc.) in half; mash the fruit against the yellow juicer bulb, and the juice runs down into the cup below through the slots. You can pour the juice out into a larger container easily, with the pour spout. Pulp and seeds will remain in the top part, with the fruit you're squeezing.

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.

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.

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

No, This juicer is not strong enough to juice sugar cane. Soft fruits and vegetables only.

Not as it is. Champion sells an attachment just for wheatgrass juicing though. Look at Championjuicers.com for information. The attachment is $75.

I have not tried wheatgrass in it. From everything I've read about juicers, the masticating kind are best for grasses and greens.

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.
