In the press
How beet acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- High
- Beet can add steady yield, but firmer roots need slower feeding.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Cut firm pieces small enough for your chute and avoid forcing the press.
- Texture
- Dense
- Adds body, color, and a more concentrated finish than watery produce.
- Foam
- Medium
- May foam or separate lightly after sitting; stir or shake before drinking.
- Watch for
- Staining
- Use a board you can rinse quickly after prepping beet.
- Best order
- With apples or watery produce
- Alternate beet with apple, carrot, cucumber, or celery when possible.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Small to medium roots — under 3 inches across.
- Firm with smooth skin and fresh-looking greens.
- Avoid large, fibrous beets (woody inside).
Store
- Store refrigerated and separate from delicate greens.
Prep
- Scrub well and trim rough ends.
- Smaller beets are sweeter and less earthy. Wear gloves and protect your counter — beet juice stains everything it touches.

Swaps
Out of beet? Swap it.
Beet missingUse carrot. Carrot keeps the role close while shifting the flavor slightly.
Beet missingUse pomegranate. Pomegranate keeps a similar job in the bottle but changes the texture from root toward fruit.
