Very Best Wheatgrass JuicerHealth experts, nutrition bloggers and even doctors
believe that wheatgrass is a super food.
And among the best ways to consume it is through extracting liquid from it using a
juicer. Another way is by using a blender.

Can't consume wheatgrass whole or else you might end up in a hospital
somewhere.
Considering consuming this, the best method is drinking it fresh.
The way to choose one?
You'll have a few options here. There are manual wheatgrass juicers where you

Juicing wheatgrass is
Possible but only as a part of a recipe, not pure shots.
You'll need to look at either the manual, horizontal auger or the twin gear juicer.
I'll separate the electric and hand powered wheatgrass juicers as It's not fair
comparing them side by side.

option. Yield suffers a bit as it does not have the adjustable end cap.

What
If you look at the dimensions, this machine is bigger. It has a bigger
auger, bigger feed chute and a stronger motor.
It also has an adjustable cap that allows consumers to adjust the back pressure
That can be put on vegetables fed into this machine which allows it to squeeze
more juice out of wheatgrass or any other leafy green.
If you want to integrate a lot of leafy green juice into your diet, this machine is
One of the best because it combines the yield potential of a twin gear juicer and it
Is very easy to clean as there are just a few parts which are required to be
disassembled and cleaned.
The larger feed chute lessens the need to pre-cut.
You also can't beat the price -- at just under $330, this is cheaper than a twin gear
juicer and only $30 more than the 8006. The yield won't be too far off from a twin
Gear extractor plus you don't have to burden yourself learning all the nuances of
using one.
Bottom line: If you're looking to juice more than wheatgrass this is a great option.
It has the largest feed chute of the 5, a strong motor that is capable of squeezing
hard produce like carrot and the price difference between this and the 8006 isn't
too far off.
Budget Alternative: Kuvings NJE3580
Budget Alternative: Kuvings NJE3580Kuvings has produced a long line of good
Quality juicers and the NJE3580 is not different. I highly recommend this for
Making wheatgrass shots because it's a single auger extractor which is the best
type of juicer you can use for this purpose.
This machine is actually cheaper than the Omega 8006 but since it has a shorter
Warranty -- only 5 years that is why I ranked this a few places lower than the
8006.
Like the 8006 it does not have an adjustable end cap so yield will be less than
juicers equipped with one.
For people looking to juice wheatgrass on an electric juicer but don't have $300 to
spend, this is a great "budget" alternative as it costs just a little over $200.
And you get a lot for the $200, including nozzles for making different types of
pasta. Since it comes with a blank plate attachment, you can also make nut
butter.
Bottom line: The cheapest of the 5. If budget is your prime concern, get this. It
Also has the shortest warranty so keep that in mind.
Two Gears: Samson Green Power KPE-1304 Twin Gear Juicer
Two Gears: Samson Green Power KPE-1304The KPE 1304 from Samson is one of
The less expensive twin gear juicers right now on the market.
It also excels in terms of yield because it has an outlet adjusting knob that adjusts
backpressure.
Like what I've said earlier, this puts more pressure and squeezes produce tighter
thus yielding more juice.
John Kohler calls this the best twin gear juicer for wheatgrass.

easy as the other single auger juicers in this list. The biggest one would be

It also isn't the easiest juicer to clean as it has a lot of moving parts.
Bottom line: The only twin gear juicer in the line up, it has the steepest learning
