▷ Slow Juicing Juice Yield - Tips & Tricks on How to Get More Juice When Juicing

Juicing is an easy way to provide your body with vitamins, minerals, and natural nutrients daily. However, many people make small mistakes when slow juicing, thus sacrificing valuable juice, flavor, and nutrients.

With the right techniques, you can significantly increase juice yield and at the same time improve juice quality. In this article, we show you 5 simple slow juicing tips to get the most out of fruits and vegetables.

Why is juice yield important in slow juicing?

A high juice yield means:

• more juice from your ingredients

• less food waste

• more intense flavor

• better nutrient utilization

• drier pulp

High-quality slow juicers work efficiently when fruits and vegetables are properly prepared.

1. The right cut size increases juice yield

The size of the ingredients directly influences:

• the amount of juice

• the processing speed

• the motor load

• the juice quality

2. Insert slowly instead of overfilling

Many users make the mistake of refilling too quickly. This can lead to:

• the pulp becoming wetter

• less juice being produced

• the slow juicer jamming

Important:

Give the device time to process the ingredients properly.

Particularly hard foods like:

• carrots

• beetroot

• sweet potatoes

require more time than soft ingredients like:

• cucumbers

• oranges

• watermelons

A steady feed significantly improves juice yield.

3. The right ripeness makes a big difference

Fresh fruits and vegetables provide the best juice yield.

Ideal for juicing:

• fresh apples

• crisp carrots

• firm cucumbers

• ripe, but not overripe fruits

Problem with overripe ingredients:

Too soft ingredients often produce:

• more fruit pulp

• thicker pulp

• less clear juice

Therefore, choose slightly firm fruits and vegetables.

4. Not every fruit and vegetable is equally suitable

Difficult fruits for slow juicing

Less suitable are:

• bananas

• avocados

• mangoes

• figs

• peaches

Tip: It's better to blend these fruits into the finished juice afterwards.

Vegetables with high juice yield

Particularly suitable:

• cucumber

• celery

• carrots

• beetroot

• kohlrabi

• bell peppers

• broccoli

• sweet potatoes

Juicing leafy greens and herbs correctly

Leafy greens require a little more experience.

These include:

• spinach

• lettuce

• chard

• mint

• fennel

• herbs

Pro tip:

Roll leafy greens together beforehand and juice them alternately with water-rich ingredients like:

• apple

• cucumber

• pineapple

This significantly improves juice yield.

Juicing wheatgrass correctly

Wheatgrass should be:

• cut into pieces about 5 cm long

• inserted in bundles

• ideally combined with fruit

This prevents blockages in the slow juicer.
