Method of extracting juice from whole fresh citrus fruits, comprising the operations of forming an opening in the fruit peel for the juice outlet from it, applying compression forces to the outside of the fruit to progressively reduce its volume and expel the juice from said fruit. Fruit from said opening, distribute pair compression forces that act simultaneously at closely spaced points substantially over the entire surface of the shell except the area of said opening, whereby the forces also serve to provide sufficient support to the shell to prevent this bursts, develop a diffused pattern of relatively narrow spaces in said area of the chamber in which said compressive forces are applied to said shell, and continue the application of said compressive forces to said shell to the point where substantially all the remaining solid constituents of said fruit are expelled in essence by complete r out through such narrow spaces.
