Are Centrifugal Juicers Good For Wheatgrass?

Looking for wheatgrass juicers?

What is not so good about centrifugal juicers? Are they suitable for wheatgrass juicing?

A fast juicer, due to the high-speed of spinning, doesn't work well with leafy greens or wheatgrass. The lighter weight leaves simply fly through the spinning chamber without coming in contact with the blades and land in the pulp bin.

This essentially means you don't get much juice out of leafy greens or wheatgrass. Don't use the centrifugal juicer for juicing greens. You will be disappointed.

Cleaning a centrifugal juicer is also easy as the parts are dishwasher safe. Use the special brush provided to clean out the mesh screen.

So who should buy this juicer? Families that consume large amounts of juice can consider buying a fast juicer as it is capable of processing large quantities of produce.

Busy folks can juice for a couple of days as the juice can be stored for around 48 hours without loss of taste or nutrition.

The locking-arm of a fast juicer has to be engaged to operate the juicer. This safety mechanism ensures that you don't switch it by mistake when not ready.

A wider feed tube cuts prep time to almost nil. Large quantities of produce can be juiced at the same time due to the bigger pulp bin and juice collector of this model.

Another convenient thing about the centrifugal juicer is that most parts are dishwasher safe.

Our take on whether you should buy centrifugal or cold press juicers is this.

If you use your juice in cooking, baking or other process where heat will be used don't worry about buying masticating slow juicers. Just go for a low maintenance centrifugal fast juicer. As the nutrients will eventually be anyway lost in the cooking/baking process.

Centrifugal juicers are cheaper and faster in extracting juice. The prep times are also much lower as the feed tubes are large.

Remember that not every likes all the flavors instantly. You will have to build up the taste for certain stuff like leafy greens or other veggies. So start in small quantities and slowly increase the quantity.
