Just What Are Organic Fruit Puree Juices?
You only have to walk down the supermarket aisles to see the numerous brands and types of fruit juice that are available. And, confusingly, they all claim to provide you with unparalleled benefits: 100% fruit juice, added Vitamin C, preservative free, etc. To find out how the juices are different, let's take a look at the types of juices available.
Juice Drinks
These drinks, normally found with other soft-drink beverages on shelves away from the refrigerated dairy section, are not 100% fruit juice and sometimes struggle to be 5% fruit juice! They contain water and lots of sugar, additives and flavoring, and have very few nutritional benefits. They often have names that include "punch", "cocktail" or "blend". Definitely stay away from these drinks if you are looking for health benefits.
Long-Life and Short-Life Chilled Juices
These are the majority of the juice cartons you see in the refrigerated dairy sections and in the aisles. Both Long-Life and Short-Life Chilled juices are pasteurized, the difference being that the Long-Life juices have been more heavily pasteurized and can therefore keep from between 6 to 9 months without needing to be chilled. The Short-Life Chilled juices undergo a lighter pasteurization process and will keep for 2 to 6 weeks if chilled. Neither of these is freshly-squeezed juice. The juice will either be "Not from Concentrate", meaning that the juice was extracted in the country of origin, pasteurized and then shipped, or else will be made from concentrate that was shipped to the selling country. Either way, you will not get the full benefits of organic fruit puree juices since the pasteurization and packaging process means that a lot of the nutritional value is lost.
Freshly-Squeezed Juices
These juices are, compared to the other juices on the shelves, freshly squeezed and must be drunk within 24 to 36 hours. They are not pasteurized and retain many of the benefits of juice made freshly at home or in a juice bar. Make sure that the juice is cloudy since the cloudier it is, the more nutritious it is. Very clear juices have had water added.
Organic Fruit Puree Juices
So that brings us to organic fruit puree juices. Organic Fruit Puree Juices, made at home and drunk immediately, are by far the best of the juices. Organic vegetable juices or organic fruit juices are easy to make using a juicer or juice extractor. Though there is no doubting the safety of juicing inorganic vegetables or fruits, making your own organic vegetable juice or organic fruit juice brings a new level of taste and nutrition to juicing. Because the juice is made and drunk fresh, without need for pasteurization or packaging, oxidation does not destroy the nutritional value in the juice. That means you get the full benefit of juicing!
