HOW LONG WILL THE JUICES LAST?
Depending on the flavor, anywhere from 30-60 days at the time of delivery on average. Certain flavors can last as long as 120 days. Click on the 'More Info' button under each juice's profile to reveal its full information.
WHY IS COLD-PRESSED JUICE BETTER?
The Cold-Press method is superior because it does not damage or denature the sensitive cell walls and molecular structures of the juice. It's a very slow process and is free of any fast-spinning blades or augers that would otherwise ruin or oxidate the juice with excessive heat and aeration.
With the cold-press method, the ingredients are slowly grinded into a "pulp" or "mash," which then gets pressed through cloth-like bags. This gently separates the juice from the fiber and gives us beautiful liquid with virtually no oxidation. The final product is the cleanest, purest juice possible- exactly how it existed inside of the fruit before extraction.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS PASTEURIZED?
Never. Our beverages undergo what's called High-Pressure Processing (HPP), which is a heatless safety step required of us by the FDA to protect against certain pathogens. This method requires an extremely large and powerful machine capable of applying VERY high hydrostatic pressures (90,000 psi or more) to the post-bottled juice within a cold environment. This is quite different from traditional pasteurization, where the juice is instead heated (cooked) at high temperatures for several minutes.
HPP is a slower, laborious, and more costly method to employ, however, it MUCH better preserves the juice's natural flavor, nutritional integrity, and enzymatic activity compared to heat pasteurization. The flavor is virtually indistinguishable from untreated juice, and allows our juices to last for months, not days.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS ORGANIC?
All of our products are certified organic except for The Cleanup 2.0, Yuzu Mate and Toucan Mélange. The only reason these are not organic is because they contain certain ingredients that do not currently exist with organic certification, such as Fulvic Minerals and Yuzu.
WHAT IS THE "CERTIFIED R.A.W." SEAL ON YOUR LABEL?
This seal is granted by Certified R.A.W, a relatively new nonprofit certification agency that has defined a standard for what is considered "raw" for packaged food products. It considers multiple aspects of our production process, from ingredient selection to manufacturing. The certification includes the same requirements and principles of GMP, HACCP, FSMA, HARPC, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, KOSHER AND NON-GMO?
Yes.
ARE YOUR BOTTLES BPA-FREE?
Yes. The type of plastic we use is PET which means there are no BPA, BPS, Phthalates, or Phthalate Based Plasticizers. PET plastic is also the most recyclable plastic there is, so please do.
DO YOU ADD ANY SUGAR TO YOUR JUICES?
We do not add any refined sugars to our juice. In some flavors of our +Probiotic Line, we use Coconut Nectar to sweeten. Coconut nectar is a sap that comes from coconut palms with a nutritional profile unlike any other sweetener. It contains virtually zero fructose and clocks a 35 on the Glycemic Index.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE LEFTOVER PULP?
About 20% is sorted and sold to other businesses that is used it for other food products. The other 80% is composted or discarded.
