In the press
How jicama acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- High
- Jicama can add steady yield, but firmer roots need slower feeding.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Cut firm pieces small enough for your chute and avoid forcing the press.
- Texture
- Dense
- Adds body, color, and a more concentrated finish than watery produce.
- Foam
- Medium
- May foam or separate lightly after sitting; stir or shake before drinking.
- Watch for
- Firm pieces
- Use a board you can rinse quickly after prepping jicama.
- Best order
- With apples or watery produce
- Alternate jicama with apple, carrot, cucumber, or celery when possible.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Heavy, firm root with dry, tan skin.
- No soft spots when pressed.
- Avoid wet or moldy spots near the stem.
Store
- Refrigerate cut pieces in a sealed container.
Prep
- Peel the thick skin before juicing.
- Peel deeply — the skin is fibrous and not edible. Smaller roots (under 1 lb) are sweeter and less starchy than monsters.
