Wheatgrass Juicers

When choosing a wheatgrass juicer, you need to ensure that it is either a masticating juicer or a twin gear (triturating) juicer. Centrifugal juicers do not work when it comes to juicing greens, and they simply cannot juice wheatgrass.

Between the two, a twin gear juicer is a better option for juicing wheatgrass. Twin gear juicers operate by have two rotating augers which are very close to each other squeeze the juice out of the wheatgrass efficiently. Twin gear juicers produce a higher yield of wheatgrass juice. They do cost more than masticating juicers. However if you are serious about juicing wheatgrass and will do so on a regular basis, then the twin gear juicers actually work out to be cheaper in the long run, since you'll need less wheatgrass to produce the same amount of juice.

The best twin gear juicer is the Super Angel 5500 juicer. Of course there are other more expensive twin gear juicers like the Norwalk juicers, however I think the Super Angel makes great wheatgrass juice and is extremely efficient in doing.

If you'd rather not buy a twin gear juicer, then your other option is to buy a masticating juicer. Although the most popular masticating juicer is the Omega VRT350HD, it's actually inferior to the Omega J8006-8003 series of juicers when it comes to making wheatgrass juice. The Omega VRT350 costs more than the J8006 series as well.

The masticating juicers work by having one auger which uses a crushing and grinding motion to extract the juice. Although masticating juicers are not as efficient as twin gear juicers in extracting wheatgrass juice, they do cost significantly less. The Omega J8006 and J8004 juicers are the best juicers in that series - they are actually the same juicer but the J8006 has a chrome and black exterior while the J8004 has a white exterior. The J8003 and J8005 are similar in design to the former models, but they have a slightly inferior auger while the 8004 and 8006 have a GE Ultem auger that is more durable and stronger. The 8003 and 8005 also come with a 10 year warranty as compared to the 8006 and 8004 which come with a 15 year warranty - however, the J8003 and J8005 cost slightly less.

Another thing to keep in mind when selecting juicers is that the Omega juicers also have the ability to be used as food processors. They can be used to make frozen desserts, pasta, baby food and even nut butters.

And of course, with a high quality masticating or twin gear juicer, you can always make other vegetable and fruit juices too!
