In the press
How kiwi acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- Medium
- Kiwi usually contributes useful juice and helps carry flavor through the press.
- Difficulty
- Easy
- Soft fruit presses best when alternated with firmer or higher-yield produce.
- Texture
- Juicy + soft
- Adds roundness and fruit body without needing a large amount.
- Foam
- Medium
- Soft fruit can foam more than watery vegetables; stir before bottling.
- Watch for
- Overripe texture
- Avoid mushy or bruised kiwi when you want a clean bottle.
- Best order
- Between firmer produce
- Run kiwi between firmer pieces so the press keeps moving.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Slight give to gentle pressure (like a ripe avocado).
- Fragrant near the stem end.
- Avoid rock-hard fruit (not ripe yet — wait a few days at room temp).
Store
- Refrigerate ripe kiwi.
Prep
- Peel if the fuzzy skin is not preferred.
- Peel before juicing — the fuzzy skin is technically edible but adds a fibrous mouthfeel. Use ripe kiwi for noticeable sweetness.
