In the press
How jalapeno acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- Very low
- Jalapeno is used for intensity, not bottle volume.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Use small pieces and let watery produce carry the flavor through the press.
- Texture
- Concentrated
- A little can shift the whole bottle, so start small.
- Foam
- Low
- Usually low foam, but flavor can intensify after sitting.
- Watch for
- Too much intensity
- Jalapeno can overpower a mild bottle quickly.
- Best order
- Small amount with juicy produce
- Feed jalapeno with cucumber, apple, citrus, or another juicy ingredient.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Firm, glossy peppers with smooth dark-green skin.
- Stems intact and green.
- Avoid wrinkled or limp peppers.
Store
- Refrigerate whole peppers and wash hands after prep.
Prep
- Remove seeds and use a very small slice for heat.
- White stripes on the skin (corking) mean more heat. Remove seeds and ribs to control spice — a tiny slice goes a long way in cold-pressed juice.
