In the press
How pea shoots act in the juicer.
- Yield
- Low
- Pea Shoots give lighter yield, so use it for flavor and green character rather than bottle volume.
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Feed pea shoots 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 pea shoots and avoid sour, wet, or collapsed leaves.
- Best order
- Tucked between juicy produce
- Sandwich pea shoots between higher-yield pieces for better extraction.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Tender shoots with curling tips.
- Bright green leaves and crisp stems.
- Avoid long tough stems or yellowing tips.
Store
- Refrigerate dry shoots and use quickly for the freshest green flavor.
Prep
- Rinse gently and trim any tough lower stems before juicing.
- Pea shoots are mild enough for beginners, but still work best with cucumber or pear for yield.
