A Wheat Grass Juicer is Best for Juicing Grasses and Greens

Why buy a wheatgrass juicer? Because one shot of wheat grass juice is the equivalent to about eight servings of vegetables. You will notice a difference when you drink it. Your body will say thank you. There are many more greens that should become part of a high quality green drink. It takes a wheat grass juicer to really get the most good out of greens. Not just any juicer will do the job. To juice leafy greens and wheat grass you do need a wheat grass juicer. There are two problems with trying to use a fast centrifugal juicer to juice wheat grass and other greens. The wheat grass will clog the juicer because it has so much fiber that can not be grated easily in the centrifugal juicer. The high speed of the juicer will destroy the enzymes in the wheat grass.

Many wheat grass juicers will juice other fruits and vegetables and even make nut butters but other juicers can not juice wheatgrass. A manual wheat grass juicer made of stainless steel will last longer and do a better job than steel or plastic. The manual wheat grass juicer slowly presses the juice out of the grass as you turn the handle. This is a slower process than using an electric juicer, but they mount to a counter or table and you can take them anywhere with you. The manual wheat grass juicer is a good option for those who have a high speed electric juicer to juice other fruits and vegetables.

Greens are great for your health. Not everyone likes the taste of juiced wheat grass. We like it, but it is very strong and we don’t think it smells one bit good. For most people to drink 4oz. of wheat grass juice on an empty stomach without a bottle of water handy to wash it down with is uncomfortable. It is intensely energizing. After drinking a shot of fresh wheat grass juice, you can feel the nutrition course through your system. The energy experienced afterward is subtle, not jittery. We have grown wheatgrass and juiced it in our wheat grass juicer for family and friends. It is one of the healthiest things we have ever done.

A few years ago our son was serving with the National Guard in Iraq. He always has such a hard time running to pass his physical that when we read an article of how a marathon runner was helped in his stamina and endurance by drinking wheatgrass juice, we sent him a copy of the story. He immediately asked for a wheatgrass juicer and wheat so he could grow his own wheatgrass and juice it. A manual wheatgrass juicer and plenty of seeds were sent immediately. His running ability greatly improved when he drank the wheatgrass juice regularly.

The best, most alkalizing juice is made of mostly leafy green vegetables and grasses. Wheat grass juicers are essential for this. All of the benefits of vegetables and grasses can be made better simply by juicing them. Juicing with wheat grass juicers makes the nutrients more concentrated and available to the body quicker and easier. Losing the fiber is what frees the nutrients. Chewing does the same thing, but juicing is more efficient. It is much easier to drink the juice than chew the grass.

You do need fiber, so you won’t want all of your vegetables and fruits juiced, but when you “drink your vegetables,” your body is getting a larger concentration of quickly usable alkaline salts, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and enzymes. This all helps clean the intestines and give relief to the digestive organs. Buy a wheatgrass juicer today and get started on your road to better health. You can grow wheatgrass indoors or out. With your wheatgrass juicer you are only a few days away from wholesome nutritious juice.
