Can I put other vegetables in a manual wheat grass juicer?

Question

I'm thinking about buying a wheat grass juicer, but the fact that it only juices one thing gives me pause. Are they adequate at juicing vegetables such as spinach, kale and carrots?

Answer 1

Some juicers are better than other kinds for different things. A dedicated wheat grass juicers probably isn't going to juice spinach, carrots, and kale well.

A centrifugal juice usually doesn't handle wheatgrass well and in general isn't supposed to be as efficient as some other kinds for leafy greens.

A single-gear or double-gear masticating juicer works great for leafy greens, but isn't supposed to be as efficient for softer fruit.

If you're looking for something that will do wheatgrass, leafy greens, and a variety of other things - consider something like the Omega 8004. Long warranty, easy to clean, and gives good quality juice. If you need to make juice for a lot of people though, it is kind of slow for large quantities.

Answer 2

Generally speaking, juicers can pretty much juice up a lot of fruits and vegetables. Maybe you should buy one that can be very versatile for your many needs and also for you to be able to maximize the use of your juicer.

I just recently bought one and I am very satisfied because I can juice different varieties and sizes of fruits and veggies. No worries at all! Maybe you should try browsing this site and find the right juicer, for you, too! http://www.juicerreviews101.com/compare-best-juicersjuicers

Answer 3

As it turns out, wheatgrass juicers are simply masticating juicers with smaller gears. They work on the same principle as commercial masticating juicers, but with one 'chewing' gear instead of two, and a hand crank instead of a motor. I read several reviews on Amazon about the Hurricane Stainless Steel wheatgrass juicer, and many indicated that it would juice leafy greens perfectly, but isn't so great with fruit or hard veggies (carrots). This sounds good, as my main juicing concerns are for spinach, kale, wheatgrass, and turnip or mustard greens.
