In the press
How bok choy acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- High
- Bok Choy gives lighter yield, so use it for flavor and green character rather than bottle volume.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Feed bok choy with cucumber, celery, apple, or citrus so small leaves do not sit alone in the press.
- Texture
- Light green
- Adds green body without making the bottle heavy when the amount stays modest.
- Foam
- Low-medium
- Usually manageable, but small greens can create flecks that settle after bottling.
- Watch for
- Wet or wilted leaves
- Use fresh, perky bok choy and avoid sour, wet, or collapsed leaves.
- Best order
- Tucked between juicy produce
- Sandwich bok choy between higher-yield pieces for better extraction.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Crisp white stalks with vibrant green leaves.
- Tight, compact head.
- Avoid yellowing leaves or browning at the cut base.
Store
- Refrigerate in a loose bag and use while crisp.
Prep
- Separate leaves, rinse grit from the base, and trim dry ends.
- Baby bok choy is sweeter and more tender; full-size has more mineral character. Rinse between the stalks — grit hides at the base.
