There have been many tools introduced in the market along with the concept of living green and healthy. In the juice world, juicers and juice extractors are known to have an interesting array of shapes, structures, names, and uses, which suits certain fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
We all know the citrus juicer so well. It comes in manual or mechanical type, and it’s ever handy when we crave for vitamin-loaded juice drinks at home. But, have you heard of the wheatgrass juicer? Or if you’ve already discovered the benefits of wheatgrass in your diet, did you know there’s an electric wheatgrass juicer that allows you to make your own wheatgrass at home?
The first research on the health benefits of wheatgrass was done by Charles F. Schnabel in the 1930’s. But it was Dr. Ann Wigmore in the 1970’s who popularized the wheatgrass juice product in natural food stores and households because of its healing power.
The average juicer could not easily extract juice from the wheatgrass blades because they need slow speed and precision. The wheatgrass juicer comes in manual and motorized models. Manual juicers are much less expensive, but more time-consuming and for some models can be a little more tiring. The electric wheatgrass juicer may be heavy on the pocket, but it quickly gives you the dose of wheatgrass you thirst for.
Indeed, an electric wheatgrass juicer requires electricity, and is rather noisy. Its features are complicated, and yet elaborate. It is not much of a space-saver in the kitchen, but it delivers efficiently. It works with speed which may cause some deterioration of wheatgrass enzymes, and it may also be messy and difficult to clean up. But still, depending on you, it may be worth it after you gulp down that glass of healthy, natural, and refreshing wheatgrass juice that gives you all the energy you need for the day.
Any drawback of the electric wheatgrass juicer is balanced by its convenience and function. You can enjoy the beverage almost instantly, minutes after you harvest your wheatgrass. You can experiment and whip up more wheatgrass recipes that fit your eating habits and preferences. You can have detoxification right at your fingertips. You can easily advocate this healthy lifestyle to your love ones and friends. All because of the convenience an electric wheatgrass juicer brings!

The popularity of wheatgrass juice as an herbal therapy, a detoxifying agent, and as part of a healthy intake cannot be denied. It is on the list in juice bars and natural food stores.
While, it is just a drive away for most people, many people still opt to grow their own wheatgrass and make their own juice by using a wheatgrass juicer. This is of course both for saving money, as growing, harvesting and making your own cost less, and the convenience of being able to make your own wheatgrass at home. Wheatgrass, as you may already know, needs to be drank right away after harvesting or else you won’t get the maximum benefits out of it.
To make your own wheatgrass juice, you need a wheatgrass juicer. There are both manual and electric models available. While an electric wheatgrass juicer may sound more convenient and quicker results, let me tell you why the manual wheatgrass juicer is still topnotch.
The manual wheatgrass juicer is without a doubt more affordable. But having a lower price tag doesn’t mean it doesn’t function more efficiently. Less is actually more for this lean mean wheatgrass juicing machine.
Besides not needing electricity for it to work, it’s also small and compact making it a real space saver. It is also very portable. Cleaning wise, you won’t have any problems either, as a manual wheatgrass juicer only has a few mechanical parts with no electrical components what-so-ever to make cleaning a pain.
The manual wheatgrass juicer, while rather modest in structure, is extremely efficient in extracting wheatgrass. Some models like the Z Star Manual Wheatgrass Juicer from Tribest is made up only plastic parts. Yet this juicer is highly designed that every turn of the handle is optimized to squeeze out as much wheatgrass juice from the blades as possible.
The biggest benefit of a manual wheatgrass juicer is that it does not affect the enzymes, fiber, vitamins and minerals during extraction. Speed and the quicker results of an electric juicer, on the other hand, tend to tear down these essential nutrients, thus leaving you with only partial benefits of the miracle grass.
I highly doubt that using the manual wheatgrass juicer will burn you out, but just in case it does, the juice that you will drink right after will revive you nonetheless. Use it at home, or bring it with you on the way out, the manual wheatgrass juicer is a definite buy for the wheatgrass enthusiasts.
And if you still don’t think a manual wheatgrass juicer is your cup of tea, then go ahead and get an electric wheatgrass juicer.
