1. Top 10 High Juice Yield Fruits
Fruit | Juice Yield | Characteristics |
---|---|---|
Watermelon | 70-80% | High water content, naturally sweet (seedless varieties work best) |
Orange | 40-50% | Balanced sweet-tart, best pressed rather than blended |
Grapes | 75-85% | Juice with skin for nutrients (seedless recommended) |
Pear | 60-70% | Light, clear juice; add lemon to prevent browning |
Pineapple | 50-60% | Remove core before juicing; pairs well with mint |
Apple | 55-65% | Fuji for sweetness, Granny Smith for tartness |
Honeydew | 65-75% | A pinch of salt enhances flavor |
Strawberry | 70-80% | Blend with banana for thickness |
Kiwi | 60-70% | Strain seeds for smoother texture |
Lemon | 30-40% | Best mixed; 1 lemon flavors ~500ml juice |
Tip: Citrus fruits yield better when hand-squeezed to avoid bitterness. Freezing berries before juicing increases yield.
