I am intending on using this to grind vegetables and then run what comes out through a juice press. Has anyone tried grinding vegetables?

I use this every week to grind a combination of vegetables, hamburger and rice (make my own dog food). it works great for it. Just be sure the vegetables are not frozen as it will jam the system. There is a plastic 'o' ring to keep the grinding going only one way.

Yes, it does a good job with kale. I would recommend juicing kale before anything else so the screen is clean and you get the most juice from it. Anything leafy I would recommend cleaning it after juicing a decent amount as the screen gets little pieces stuck in it, but I think this is true of any juicer.

you will need to grind them up first. It will not do whole ones. But it works really good if will prep the items first. I have used it on berries, apples and other fruits. As long as i grind the apples first, it gets all the juice out.

Yes. It works well for me. I haven't compared it with other juicers, but all the vegetables that are more dense - like ginger, beets, potatoes, carrots - juice really well.

I haven't tried vegetables, but it does hard cheeses well. I think it will work. Try it. It is a good machine.

I have only used it for pomegranate juice. I think if you used less pressure it would also work for citrus as it looks just like my citrus press juicer; just stronger.

Hi Heidi,I haven't used the big Boss for spices or vegetables, however I use it everyday to make smoothies. It grinds up frozen strawberries nicely and very fast. I love this little blender and I am sure it will blend vegetables very well, it's got a big kick for a small blender.

I have used it on every fruit and veggie including beets (don't do it) and I have learned that you need to rotate between soft and hard produce to help the machine along. Also, put a fine mesh strainer above the bowl that you are using to collect your juice to make your final product a bit smoother. Enjoy

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

is it perfect for greens? No. however with a little practice and trial and error i have been happy with the amount of juice i get. try rolling the kale or spinach up tight and running through with cucumber or zucchini.all said would not trade for any other juicer

It does REALLY well with vegetables; I've only had problems with super wet vegetables (e.g. the seeded portion of summer squash), but that just required some extra cleaning, nothing too intense.

I do use this for making kale juice. Since it's a manual juicer, it takes a lot more effort than just stuffing uncut kale leaves into an electric model. I take most of the stem off the leaf, don't put more than one leaf in at a time, alternate with cuke or apple, and that works. Don't get this juicer if you don't want a little work out in order to have a refreshing, healthy drink.

I would advise against it. I never tried it but it I think that is stretching its capability. I think a grinder would do a better job.

Not sure sent it back.it did well for some fruits but it clog with carrots and pinappleI really wanted it because it was a slow juicer to not over heat juice.Just didnt work out.

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!!

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.

I haven't used it for veggies but I think if you do it may be a mess. This pasta maker is used to working with dough like substances so it kinda mushes things before it cuts it. I would try a viggie spiraler first
