Langers Cranberry Juice Cocktail
788 days agoYes, not everyone’s favourite drink. In fact, I am pretty sure that no one out there enjoys drinking cranberry juice. It is so very sour and if it is from concentrate, there will be this slight bitterness which seems to get worse after a while. I am guessing it is because of the process in which high heat is applied to the cranberry juice to evaporate it and this results in the bitterness. Those that are made from direct juicing would probably not have this bitterness but nevertheless, cranberry juice will always be very tart. Maybe some people like the tartness? Yes, Kefir is tart but Kefir has a different kind of tartness altogether. At least it is creamy. But cranberry juice is just liquid and that makes it kind of difficult to swallow.
Anyway, if you were to visit our local supermarkets, you will be surprised to find that there are a lot of brand carrying cranberry juice. Most of them are from concentrates, which would be cheaper. Of course, the health benefits would be diminished due to the heating process. They usually fortify the juice with vitamins. Kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. What’s the point of drinking fruit juices if you have to fortify them in order for them to provide us with antioxidants? Might as well just take the antioxidants pills directly. Cheaper and more convenient as well.
There, the Langers Cranberry Juice Cocktail.
I like the Langers logo. Looks kind of nice. And yes, 100% of your daily intake of Vitamin C per serving! No, the Vitamin C from the cranberries is destroyed, so they add Vitamin C into the drink. I really doubt that those added Vitamin C are the same as the Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables. This bottle contains slightly less than 1 litre of cranberry juice cocktail. That is a lot of sour juice to finish. I guess with the added sugar, it should not be that bad. Well, seems that a lot of consumers are starting to realize the importance of drinking fruit juices instead of soda drinks which contains just too much artificial flavours, preservatives, sugars and so on, which can be detrimental to our health.
Cool, no HFCS! It should mean High Fructose Corn Syrup, which is probably the worst kind of sugar you can consume. That means, good! We should always avoid HFCS whenever possible.
Ahhh…27% juice only. That is why they call it juice cocktail instead of plain old juice. The ingredients are filtered water, sugar, cranberry juice concentrate, natural flavours, citric acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Well, as I mentioned, this ascorbic acid is where the vitamin C comes from. Not from the cranberry themselves. Anyway, this is all natural, no high fructose corn syrup, no colours and no preservatives. Furthermore, it has very low sodium content and is gluten free.
Product of the USA. Seems that most of the cranberry products are from the USA. I guess, they are the largest producer of cranberries in the world. Even the dried cranberries which I love so much are mostly from the USA. And probably why cranberry products are rather expensive. Well, what to do?
Langers, it’s in the juice. What is in the juice???
It is also an excellent source of calcium, which helps build healthy bones and teeth in children and teens, while it helps maintain bone mass in adult women-and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis.
