Shop, store, prep
Get bok choy ready before it hits the press.
Store before juicing
- Refrigerate in a loose bag and use while crisp.
Prep for pressing
- 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.
Cold-press behavior
Know how it 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.
Flavor role
Use it to shape the base.
Bok Choy helps a bottle by adding green base. It usually works well with green apple and cucumber.
Balance bok choy with citrus or a small fruit note if the bottle tastes too green.
Best pairings
Pair by flavor job, not guesswork.
Green Apple
Green Apple adds brightness so bok choy tastes cleaner and less flat.
Cucumber
Cucumber lightens the bottle and helps carry smaller ingredients through the press.
Lime
Lime adds brightness so bok choy tastes cleaner and less flat.
Mint
Mint adds a fresh finish that makes bok choy feel more lifted.
