I buy all organic vegetables to juice. I usually juice carrots, then spinach, kale, and cucumber to make a nice mix. I clean in between each vegetable to not block it up. And it still creates thick foam. I’ll notice that it varies on different days, and I’m not doing anything differently so that leaves me to wonder if it’s the quality of my food. For instance, a bunch of kale will be fine juicing one day, I’ll get lots of juice and the end leftovers will be almost dry. Yet today, it created so much foam I don’t even know if I got any juice. It’s really frustrating for me as I’m spending lots of money on this organic food and I don’t want it to go to waste. I’d like to get as much juice and nutrition as possible from it, but with all the foam it leaves me wondering if I really am. I heard once that if the leafy greens are too dry and don’t have enough moisture then it creates a lot of foam? Could this be it? Thanks and any help would be appreciated.

I know this is going to sound really dumb, but are you washing your greens really well first? I ask because about three weeks ago I forgot to wash some swiss chard and got a mouthful of soap! (organic pesticide, haha, they used old fashioned soap!)
I”m new to juicing, too, but my borrowed Champion juicer couldn’t hand the kale well:(
I’m fairly certain it’s the greens being dry or plump. I have a really amazing juicer and noticed that when I did carrots and cabbage. It all has to do with the amount of juice in the actual veggie.
I’m no scientist so don’t take my word for it but that’s the conclusion I came to through my own experience.
