Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Small to medium bulbs that feel heavy.
- Smooth skin without deep cracks.
- Avoid oversized woody bulbs.
Store
- Remove leaves and refrigerate the bulb in a produce bag.
Prep
- Peel the tough outer skin and cut the bulb into pieces before juicing.
- Kohlrabi is mild but dense, so combine it with cucumber or citrus for a smoother bottle.
