In the press
How dandelion greens act in the juicer.
- Yield
- Low
- Dandelion Greens give lighter yield, so use it for flavor and green character rather than bottle volume.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Feed dandelion greens 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 dandelion greens and avoid sour, wet, or collapsed leaves.
- Best order
- Tucked between juicy produce
- Sandwich dandelion greens between higher-yield pieces for better extraction.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Small to medium leaves with springy stems.
- Deep green color without yellowing.
- Avoid very large tough leaves if you want a milder juice.
Store
- Wrap dry leaves loosely and refrigerate; use within a few days.
Prep
- Wash very thoroughly and use younger leaves for a less intense green flavor.
- Use dandelion greens as an accent, not the whole base, because the flavor is assertive.
