Our favorite apple for juicing, the Granny Smith is unique due to its tart flavor and very high juice content. The tart flavor that makes it a popular variety for baking also makes it great for juicing. That's because that tartness helps the juice to last longer and not oxidize, unlike sweeter apples. It's also lower in sugar and healthier than most apples. Finally, the tartness provides an excellent balance to leafy greens, which can sometimes be bitter. Granny Smith apples make a great foundation for a green or vegetable juice combination.
