Frequently Asked Questions

When is the wheatgrass the best height for juicing?

It will be at its best when it is about 6” to 8” inches tall.  If the wheatgrass is shorter, it is not mature enough for juicing and if longer is getting old and is beginning to dry out.  Here is a tip.  You can put the pulp back through the juicer 2 or 3 times to get all of the juice out of the grass. 

 

What does it take to grow wheatgrass?

It takes very little effort and requires very little time and the good news is that there are no expensive supplies or gardening materials needed.  You need a warm place to start your wheatgrass in dirt or air and seeds, plus growing trays.  It really is simple.  Please check out growing trays to get all of the information you will need.

 

Is it hard to clean a wheatgrass juicer?

It is not simple, but it is not hard.  You do need to break it down and carefully clean all of the parts.  Warm water and a little soap will do the job in most situations and will keep your juicer in great sanitary condition.  It takes less than 2 or 3 minutes to do the job.

 

Should I buy an electric or manual juicer?

Both the electric and manual juicers do a great job.  The big difference is cost.  So the answer really depends on your budget.  Many people have both and use the manual as a backup or when they take trips.  For ease, if you can afford it, the electric is the best way to go, but the manual works very well especially if you are doing it for one person.

 

How much wheatgrass should I put in the juicer at a time?

You should bunch the wheatgrass into rounds like spaghetti.  It should be about 2/3 inch in diameter.

 

I get a lot of foam when juicing.  Is there anything I can do to help?

Try a few drops of flax seed oil in the juice and it will usually cut the foam to a minimum.  Of course, the flax seed oil is great for you too.

 

What difference is there between the regular Manual and a Stainless Steel Manual?

The construction of the non-stainless is not as good and will rust over time.  They both yield about the same amount of juice.

 

Is there anything I should look for when buying a wheatgrass juicer?

The answer depends a lot on what your plans are for the juicer.  If you are experimenting, you may want to buy a cheaper brand to be sure that you are really committed to wheatgrass juicing.  If you know that you are committed to wheatgrass juicing, then I would always look for a juicer that has metal parts.  The cheaper brands tend to have plastic, which can work well if you are an infrequent user.  The more expensive brands tend to have metal parts which last much longer.  No matter what the cost, I would be sure to check the details to make sure you are getting what you are paying for.
