In the press
How bell pepper acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- Medium
- Bell Pepper can help build a practical vegetable-forward bottle without relying on fruit sweetness.
- Difficulty
- Easy
- Cut pieces to fit the chute and alternate with ingredients that have different textures.
- Texture
- Light + clean
- Keeps the bottle practical and drinkable when balanced with citrus, herbs, or a small sweetener.
- Foam
- Low-medium
- Usually manageable with a gentle stir before bottling.
- Watch for
- Dull or soft produce
- Use crisp bell pepper for a cleaner finish.
- Best order
- Early or between firm produce
- Use bell pepper early or between firmer ingredients to keep steady flow.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Heavy for size with glossy, taut skin.
- Firm, intact stems.
- Avoid wrinkled or shriveled skin.
Store
- Refrigerate whole peppers until ready to use.
Prep
- Remove stem, core, and seeds.
- Red, orange, and yellow are sweeter than green. Remove all seeds — they're bitter and clog the auger.
