Juicing Forum

I am having an issue juicing leafy greens such as kale and parsley and chard. I get almost no yield from them in the juicer. Most of it ends up in the bin just shredded up.

Are there tips for increasing yield or is this simply a juicer defect?

thx

thanks, I'll try the cucumber last next time. I seem to be getting the best yield from lettuce but not the kale, parsley and chard. I might have to switch those out and replace with broccoli in order to get the proper green nutrients. Unfortunately my juicer is one speed only so I'm stuck with that.

The cucumber is an excellent idea. I had a similar issue and used apples as these produce quite a bit of juice to flush the green juice through. I also intermittently will flush my green juice out with just water since I add water to my juice anyways.
