In the press
How mustard greens act in the juicer.
- Yield
- Low
- Mustard Greens give lighter yield, so use it for flavor and green character rather than bottle volume.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Feed mustard greens with cucumber, celery, apple, or citrus so small leaves do not sit alone in the press.
- Texture
- Light green
- Adds green body without making the bottle heavy when the amount stays modest.
- Foam
- Low-medium
- Usually manageable, but small greens can create flecks that settle after bottling.
- Watch for
- Wet or wilted leaves
- Use fresh, perky mustard greens and avoid sour, wet, or collapsed leaves.
- Best order
- Tucked between juicy produce
- Sandwich mustard greens between higher-yield pieces for better extraction.
