What You Should Know About JuicesCarton Juices Are Not FreshCitrus juices are rich in Vitamin C. Unfortunately the vitamin is very sensitive when exposed to oxygen. Since chilled cartons and refrigerated boxes are penetrable by air, they retain very low amounts of Vitamin C.Check the Expiry DateIf you must buy boxed juices, look at the expiry date. The nearer the expiry date, the less flavor and Vitamin C it will contain.Watch Those LabelsBeverages labeled juice must contain 100 percent juice. Products labeled juice blends, fruit punches, fruit drinks or juice cocktails and other labels are often largely made of sugar and water, with low juice content.Seal Your Juices CorrectlySince juices lose their vitamins when exposed, use a tight glass jar to store freshly squeezed juices.Also Read: |
