does it juice parsley and other greens

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

It juices all sorts of greens...even lettuce. I also juiced parsley but I wrapped it into a tight ball inside of the leaves of something else. Hope this helps you!

I wrap the parsley tightly and place in shoot to blend with two other thicker vegetables, like carrots, apples or celery. It juices better than by itself.

Without a doubt. We use kale, parsley, spinach etc. Just have to put them in first in a bunch and follow up with an apple or another hard fruit or veggie.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

We have juiced spinach, kale, and chard so far....Parsley is a bit harder since the herb is so small but we've found that if you stick it in the middle of an orange, it goes through the juicer much easier. Make sure the parsley is juiced on a lower setting as well or it'll just end up in the pulp bucket.

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!

It sure does wheat grass. This juicer does a great job. I usually start with the juicy fruits and grass and lettuce and help the juicy staff go through with celery and kale.

I think this is mainly a greens and wheat grass juicer. I've used it for mostly wheat grass that I've grown. It works grat for that. I've also used it to juice kale, spinach and other greens. Love it for that. I juice carrots, apples,beets,etc. In a masticating juicer.

I use leafy greens in mine all the time, but for best results I mix them with hard vegetables and alternate between the two going into the juicer. There is lots of info on the nutritional content of all sorts of vegetable juices if you google 'juicingbook'

Yes. Use the "hard fruit" setting on the Breville juicer. I put a small piece of raw ginger in my carrot, cucumber, celery juice every day and it's great. Of course, there isn't a great deal of juice in ginger, so don't expect a lot of juice, but what you do get is extremely potent.

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

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.

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 it does. It is also great for chopping onions, parsley, mint and tomatoes

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.

I juice a lot of kale and spinach. It does well as long as you have something a little more substantial to push through after (carrot, cucumber or celery do the trick)

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.

Yes it does but you need to add something that juices a lot in with it at the same time.

Yes it will juice greens if you add water. If you over load it the motor will burn and stop

With leafy greens it's tricky. I've juiced spinach and kale, but you have to roll it to make sure it does juice. And then you have to immediately after run a juicy fruit such as an apple, pear,a citrus fruit or any fruit or vegetable with a high volume of juice such as also cucumber and tomatoes to make sure you get all the juices from the greens that are left behind. I've never juiced lettuce our asparagus. However both of these vegetables are listed in the produce chart of fruits and vegetables ideal for juicing in the fusion juicer book. Hope this help.

With green leafy vegetable like kale and spinach, I have to roll a small handful and put it between two orange halves so it doesn't moves too fast through the blades. I do still think I get more juice from this juicer than other juicers that I have owned.
