If you'd like to make your own fresh wheatgrass juice then you need to get your hands on a masticating juicer.
Masticating juicers are the best wheatgrass juicer. They turn an auger within a drum to crush the juice out of fruit, vegetables, and wheatgrass. This crushing action is quite different from the tearing and shredding action of centrifugal juicers.
Before buying a masticating juicer you need to decide if you need an electric wheat grass juicer, or if a manual wheat grass juicer will do the trick. Lets take a look at the differences between them:
Electric wheatgrass juicers use a slow motor to turn the auger inside the drum. They are fairly pricey, but are built to last.
They
are much easier to use than the manual juicers, but tend to be larger and
heavier. You need to have the space to give them pride of place on your
kitchen counter. This will hopefully mean that you use them more often.
Manual wheatgrass juicers are less expensive and far lighter. If
you already own a centrifugal juicer, or just want to juice wheatgrass
then they can be an excellent choice.
You do need to have reasonably strong arms to turn the handle - your arms are the motor! So if you don't have much strength in your wrists and arms then I recommend you buy an electric wheatgrass juicer.
Manual juicers can be stored in a cupboard or draw when not in use.
If your just getting into wheatgrass juice or your on a budget then I suggest you start with a inexpensive manual juicer, unless your arms don't have a lot of strength in them in which case you'll need and electic one.
Inexpensive manual wheatgrass juicers have plastic parts which don't last as long as the stainlesss steel ones. Lexen make a very good budget juicer.
Once you decided that wheatgrass juice is
for you and if there's enough room on your kitchen counter, treat
yourself to an electric masticating juicer such as the top rated Omega
J8006.
