Wheatgrass Juicers

The nature of wheatgrass is such that it must be juiced for one to fully benefit from the wide range of nutrients it can provide. The plant in its raw form is too fibrous to consume and digest. Therefore, a juicer must be used to extract this nutrient-rich juice hailed by the health-conscious as one of Mother Nature’s super foods. But not just any juicer will do.

Fruit and vegetable juicers grate and tear fibers to draw out the juice. They operate at too quick a speed to efficiently juice a tougher plant like wheatgrass. Therefore, you need a juicer especially designed to juice wheatgrass.

Wheatgrass juicers operate at a slower speed than regular juicers do for two reasons. The first is to ensure the wheatgrass is thoroughly pressed and squeezed to release every last drop of its precious juice. The second reason is to reduce the amount of heat the juice is exposed to, as heat can compromise the nutritional value of the juice by oxidizing its nutrients.

When it comes to types of wheatgrass juicers, you have two choices: the manual wheatgrass juicer and the electric wheatgrass juicer.

Manual wheatgrass juicers are designed with a handle you need to turn as you feed the wheatgrass through. The pulp left behind can easily be re-fed into the juicer so that not a single drop of juice is wasted. Electric wheatgrass juicers operate in much the same way, but with less physical effort on your part. There are no handles to turn, tubes are self-feeding, and pulp is continuously expelled for easier re-feeding.
