Shop, store, prep
Get kohlrabi ready before it hits the press.
Store before juicing
- Remove leaves and refrigerate the bulb in a produce bag.
Prep for pressing
- 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.

Yield
High
Kohlrabi can help build a practical vegetable-forward bottle without relying on fruit sweetness.
Difficulty
Easy
Cut pieces to fit the chute and alternate with ingredients that have different textures.
Texture
Light + clean
Keeps the bottle practical and drinkable when balanced with citrus, herbs, or a small sweetener.
Foam
Low-medium
Usually manageable with a gentle stir before bottling.
Watch for
Dull or soft produce
Use crisp kohlrabi for a cleaner finish.
Best order
Early or between firm produce
Use kohlrabi early or between firmer ingredients to keep steady flow.
Flavor role
Use it to shape the base.
Kohlrabi helps a bottle by adding mild base. It usually works well with green apple and lemon.
Balance kohlrabi with citrus or a small fruit note if the bottle tastes too green.
Best pairings
Pair by flavor job, not guesswork.
Green Apple
Green Apple adds brightness so kohlrabi tastes cleaner and less flat.
Lemon
Lemon adds brightness so kohlrabi tastes cleaner and less flat.
Cucumber
Cucumber lightens the bottle and helps carry smaller ingredients through the press.
Ginger
Ginger adds intensity, so use it when the bottle needs more lift.
