Potato Juice

Potatoes juice and your digestive system...

Monday, March 8, 2010 by Mitch B

Potatoes are delicious. You can do so many things with them and they are always so good! However, it seems like one very important aspect of the potato is always overlooked- Potato Juice!

Scientists have long looked at potato juice as one of the best remedies for digestive problems and one of the best ways to keep your digestive system going strong and healthy!

Studies have shown that the juice benefits the following areas:

If you are suffering from constipation, you should drink half a cup of potato juice in the morning.
Helps heal intestinal ulcers
Helps reduce the pain of people suffering from Rheumatism and Gout
Also, it helps to clear up patches of eczema (especially when mixed with some of Biotta's Carrot Juice!)

Like all of our other organic juices, our potato juice contains no caffeine and no added sugar! It is currently available in a 16.9 oz. bottle and you can find out where to order it by clicking here!

Know the benefits!

Monday, February 22, 2010 by Mitch B

There are so many benefits that can be found in drinking Biotta Juices. Here is a small sampling of the healthy advantages to drinking Biotta.

Potato Juice benefits the stomach! It contains vitamins and minerals that help neutralize stomach acids and make digestion easier. It can also help prevent indigestion and heartburn.

Beet Juice benefits the body in providing many essential vitamins and minerals like folic acid and betacyanin (which help strengthen the body's defense). Beet Juice has also been proven to reduce blood pressure and even increase stamina.

Every single one of our juices is packed full of beneficial ingredients for your health. You can check out the website for more benefits to drinking our organic fruit and vegetable juices!

Are you Drinking Empty Calories?

Friday, February 19, 2010 by Sara Cox

When we think of calories, we think of them coming from the foods we eat. When you have a medium cafe latte with whole milk with breakfast, then a 20 oz. regular soda ad lunch, and a 16 oz. sweet

ened iced tea with lemon mid-day, and glass of wine at dinner, that doesn't sound unreasonable, does it? After all, they are liquid!

Those 4 beverages amont to 800 calories - or 40% of an average 2,000 calorie daily diet. And although they keep you hydrated throughout the day, these 800 calories are EMPTY calories.

Sodas, coffee, tea...there is no nutritional benefit to any of these beverages, yet they seem to pack on the calories. Drinking a 100% organic pure juice, like Biotta Juice, however, will provide you with the same calories, but with the added benefit of vitamins, minerals and other health benefits, like blood pressure lowering properties of our Beet Juice, and soothing an upset stomach like our Potato Juice.

Juice drinks and waters are often enhanced with vitamins and herbs. Although at first glance they seem like a healthy alternative to soda, but how much sugar and artificial flavoring doe they contain?

Biotta Juices are 100% pure - not from concentrate and never diluted. They are packed full of all natural nutrients, and come in 2 sizes of convenient, recyclable glass bottles.

Why do we use glass bottles?

Friday, February 12, 2010 by Mitch B

Many people have written in asking why we insist on using glass bottles to package our juices. We have a couple of answers for that question.

One is for flavor. When you buy sauerkraut juice or potato juice or any of our other juices, you want it tasting fresh, right? When juices are packaged in plastic containers, the flavor can slowly fade out over time. When using glass, it retains full flavor from the day it's packaged until the day you open it up!

Another reason is because glass bottles are completely tasteless. According to a 2004 study by the Karmasin Institute for Motivational Research in Vienna, Austria, 72% of consumers find glass ideal packaging for organic products. They find glass to be hygienic, appetizing, recyclable, tasteless and practical.

So there you have it. At Biotta, we are about quality, and glass bottles are guaranteed to give you the best quality juice!

What’s in a Label?

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 by George Pappas

Do you ever get confused when you look at labels? Juice labels, for instance, can sport many terms, including “fresh squeezed,” “from concentrate,” “100% pure,” “fresh frozen” and “not from concentrate.” What do these labels tell you about the quality of the juice and exactly what you are buying?

The Food and Drug Administration offers these guidelines:

•    "100% Pure" or "100% Juice." This label guarantees that the product is 100 percent fruit juice, complete with all its nutrients. Only 100 percent juice can be labeled "juice." If a bottle contains mixed juices, it can only be labeled "100 percent juice" if each of the juices added to the mixture is, itself, a 100 percent juice.**

•    "Cocktail," "Punch," "Drink," "Beverage," “Blend,” “Sparkler.” If you see these labels, you know that the products are diluted, containing less than 100 percent juice. They often have added sweeteners. These products might contain as little as 10 percent or as much as 99 percent juice. The rest is water or added sweeteners. Check the label to find out how much juice such products contain. As with all labels, ingredients must be listed on the label in order of volume.**

•    "Fresh Squeezed Juice." This label means the juice has been squeezed from fresh fruit. It is not pasteurized and is usually located in the produce or dairy section of the grocery store. Be cautious about offering non-pasteurized juice to children, older adults or others with compromised immune systems.

•    "From Concentrate." This label tells you that water has been removed from whole juice to make concentrate; then water is added back to reconstitute to 100 percent juice or to diluted juice such as lemonade. When water is added back to the concentrate, the product is labeled "reconstituted" or "made from concentrate" and has the same nutrition profile as the original juice. "**

•    "Not From Concentrate." This juice has never been concentrated.

•    "Fresh Frozen." Juice with this label has been freshly squeezed, packaged and frozen without pasteurization or further processing. It is usually sold in plastic bottles in the frozen food section of the grocery store and is ready to drink after thawing.*

•    “Fortified.” “Fruit juice is sometimes enhanced with nutrients intended to provide health benefits because juice is convenient, has good flavor, and is inherently associated with good health. Juices may be fortified with extra vitamins (such as vitamin C), minerals (such as calcium), cholesterol-lowering sterols, and, increasingly, omega-3 fatty acids. Such juices may be a good idea if they're fortified with nutrients you don't obtain enough of in your normal diet.”**

Biotta juices are 100% organic, not made from concentrate. Since our company began in 1957, we’ve been committed to using only the finest organically grown fruits and vegetables. Every fruit and vegetable we use is grown in chemical-free, fertilizer-free and toxic-free land—land that has been organically farmed for more than half a century. All of our fruits and vegetables are vine/field-ripened and are selected using the highest standards in relation to flavor and content.

Biotta takes great care to protect the natural wholesomeness and taste of all our ingredients. Instead of pressing the fruits and vegetables, which can cause some loss of nutritional value, we use a decanting process of centrifugation to pull the juice out. Then, we pasteurize the juice at low heat levels to retain the high nutritional value, bottle our juices in recyclable glass bottles for full flavor retention, label and send. No other company takes more care to deliver a 100% organic product.

Here is how Biotta’s Juices stack up:

100% Juice
Beet Juice
Carrot Juice
Vegetable Juice Cocktail (in this case, the 'cocktail' denotes a blend of vegetable juices)
Bruess® Vegetable Juice
Celery Juice
Sauerkraut Juice
Potato Juice

Fruit juices are typically too tart or strong to consume at 100% juice. Therefore, we blend our organic fruit juices with other juices as well as tea extracts to make them more palatable.

87% Juice

Energy Drink

74% Juice
Breakfast Juice

70% Juice
Elderberry Juice

The Food Pyramid - One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by Sara Cox

We’ve all seen the food pyramid, detailing how many servings of each food group a person needs to consume in one day. Now, even the food pyramid is changing! In April 2005, the USDA released the MyPyramid food guidance system. Along with the new MyPyramid symbol, the system provides many options to help Americans make healthy food choices and to be active every day.

The Dietary Guidelines give science-based advice on food and physical activity choices for health. The guidelines define a healthy diet as one that:

Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.*

You can use these guidelines to make smart food choices, find a good balance between food and physical activity, get the most nutrition out of the calories you consume, and stay within your daily calorie needs.

MyPyramid Plan
The site will help you customize your eating plan, taking into account such things as age, sex, height, weight and amount of physical activity. Once your plan is customized, you can read further to find out more information regarding each of the food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat and beans, and oils.*

Fruits and Vegetables
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/vegetables.html and http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/fruits.html are sub-tier pages of the site that spell out what is included in the fruit and vegetable groups, the average recommended daily amount for each group, and what constitutes a healthy serving. The site is easy to navigate and chockfull of worthwhile information.

Biotta – A Great Way to “Eat” Your Fruits and Vegetables
Want a great way to consume some of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables? Biotta organic juices. Biotta juices are delicious, all-natural and full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Our natural whole fruits and vegetables are grown organically and harvested for optimum quality, and then minimally processed to ensure great taste and high nutritional value.

We offer a wide variety of vegetable juices: Beet Juice, Carrot Juice, Celery Root Juice, Potato Juice, Sauerkraut Juice, Vegetable Juice Cocktail and Breuss® Vegetable Juice. Fruit juices include Elderberry Juice and Breakfast Juice.

Juice May Help Arthritis Pain

Sunday, September 27, 2009 by George Pappas

Did you know there is evidence of arthritis in dinosaur bones? It’s true, and the first known traces of human arthritis date back as far as 4500 BC. Let’s look briefly at what arthritis is, how it can affect a person, what the normal treatments are, and how alternative therapies, such as juice therapy, may provide some relief to arthritis sufferers.

What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is actually the name given to a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis; the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.* All forms of arthritis cause pain. Different types of arthritis cause different symptoms, have varying progression timelines and aggravating factors.* Blood tests and X-rays of the affected joints often are performed to make a specific diagnosis.

How Do You Treat Arthritis?
Treatment can vary depending on the type of arthritis and the level of symptoms. But, treatments generally include physical therapy, lifestyle changes, medications, dietary supplements and sometimes bracing and surgery.* In general, the more the affected joint keeps moving, the better long-term pain relief is achieved.

Juice Therapy for Arthritis
It’s important to keep your joints intact and healthy. One of the ways people are finding helpful with arthritis pain is juice therapy.

Potato juice has been used in folk medicine for centuries.** Potatoes contain 15 different minerals and essential amino acids. Many people also use potato juice to relieve arthritis pain, migraines, constipation, and some skin problems, such as eczema, dry skin and blemishes. In addition, potatoes contain high quantities of starch that work with these minerals to help neutralize stomach acid. It’s also believed to be good for cardiovascular health , ulcers, acidosis and gout. Potatoes have anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and contain the phytonutrient kukoamine, which helps to lower blood pressure.*** Biotta’s Potato Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. Biotta Potato Juice contains fennel juice, giving this product a pleasant flavor and enhancing its effect.

Celery juice, beet root juice and carrot juice are also known to help reduce inflammation and may be useful in the alleviation of arthritic symptoms. In an article entitled “Best Herbal Remedies for Arthritis” by Jessica Smith, the author suggests, “Take a cup of fresh raw juice, extracted from any green leafy vegetable and mix it with carrot, celery or beet root juices. The alkaline properties of raw juices remove the deposits around the joints and other tissues.”**

Drink Biotta Organic Juices – To Your Health
I’m including the healthy attributes of Biotta’s Potato Juice, Carrot Juice, Beet Root Juice and Celery Juice. Our all-organic growing and harvesting method, along with our proprietary production method, ensure you are getting the healthiest, freshest, all-natural juices available today. Make Biotta juices part of your healthy eating program.

A Review from Another Satisfied Biotta Customer

Monday, August 3, 2009 by Sara Cox

We love when customers write to tell us how much they love Biotta juices. But, when they write articles about our juices and put them on their blogs, that’s SUPER FANTASTIC! You can check out http://www.fitandfabulouslife.com/2009/07/02/biotta-juice-review/ to read what Melinda has to say, or check out the excerpt below.

Biotta sent a variety of juices to Melinda for her to review. Melinda is a freelance writer who hopes to have a career as a food/nutrition writer and blogger.

Here is what Melinda has to say about Biotta juices:

I loved all of the juices that Biotta sent for me to review, but my favorite was between the Vegetable Juice Cocktail and the Breakfast Juice- wowza, these were delicious!

I also liked the Beet Juice; it had a sweet flavor and you could tell that this was pure beets! I loved the Carrot Juice mixed in with my apple and cucumber juice- it kicked it up a notch!

Biotta juices have also been featured on The View. Whoopi Goldberg, who is known to hate veggies, has fallen in love with these drinks!

I personally love that not only are Biotta juices organic but also RAW! I’m one happy girl right now.

Fortified/Functional Foods: Can You Have Too Much of a Good Thing?

Friday, July 17, 2009 by George Pappas

Pasta with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, normally found in fish. Probiotics in salsa. Soda with vitamins. Ketchup with additives to aid in digestive wellness. Even marshmallows infused with skin-boosting collagen.

Functional foods—also called fortified foods—refer to “designer foods or ones that have been modified to incorporate nutrients they wouldn’t normally contain for a specific health purpose.”*

Consumer Reaction
These foods abound in our supermarkets and consumers are eating them up—literally. In 2008, functional foods made up a $30.7 billion market, according to the research firm Packaged Facts. And that number is predicted to grow by 40% over the next five years.**

When 1,000 consumers were surveyed by the International Food Information Council Foundation in late 2005, 83% of respondents said they were interested in learning more about foods that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition.*

Fortified Foods Are Not New
When was the first fortified food introduced? In 1924, iodine was first added to salt in Michigan to help reduce the prevalence of goiter in that state. Soon, the success of this measure led to voluntary iodization in the entire country. And we’ve been buying milk fortified with vitamin D since the 1930s to prevent rickets.

Are Fortified Foods Worth It?
But can you have too much of a good thing? That’s the question that comes to the forefront when talking about fortified/functional foods. Cynthia Sass, a spokeswoman for the American Diabetic Association, said, “The idea of a supplement or fortified food is to fill a gap, to bring a person up to the recommended intake. If you’re already at the recommended intake, it’s not going to do anything for you. It may work against you.”* Exceeding recommended doses of vitamin C, for example, can cause diarrhea, upset stomach and kidney stones.

Consider All-Natural Biotta Juices
While functional foods can be helpful, what better way to get your vitamins and minerals than the natural way? With Biotta, you can get the full amount of your fruits and vegetables with 100% organic fruit and vegetable juices. We offer a wide variety of vegetable juices: Beet Juice, Carrot Juice, Celery Root Juice, Potato Juice, Sauerkraut Juice, Vegetable Juice Cocktail and Breuss® Vegetable Juice. Fruit juices include Bilberry Juice, Elderberry Juice, our Breakfast Juice Cocktail and Energy Drink.

Juice Therapy – Part 3 - Vegetables for Dinner

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 by George Pappas

Potatoes, tomatoes and sauerkraut – yes, sauerkraut. You’ll be surprised at the potential health benefits of these vegetables, found in Biotta’s 100% organic juices.

Potatoes
Potatoes contain 15 different minerals and essential amino acids. In addition, potatoes

contain high quantities of starch that work with these minerals to help neutralize stomach acid. Many people also use potato juice to relieve arthritis pain, migraines, constipation, and some skin problems, such as eczema, dry skin and blemishes. It’s also believed to be good for cardiovascular health , ulcers, acidosis and gout.* Biotta’s Potato Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. Biotta Potato Juice contains fennel juice, giving this product a pleasant flavor and enhancing its effect.

Tom

atoes
Tomatoes, found in Biotta Vegetable Juice Cocktail, are among the healthiest of foods. As a good source of potassium, niacin, vitamin B6 and folate, tomatoes can help to lower the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Tomatoes can also help reduce the risk of colon cancer, decrease the frequency of migraine attacks, and help diabetics keep their blood sugar levels under control.** Biotta’s Vegetable Juice Cocktai

l is available in two sizes – 8.4 fl. oz. and 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut juice is rich in L (+) lactic acid to activate digestion. Many experts agree that the lactic acid in sauerkraut juice can inhibit the growth of undesired intestinal bacteria and stimulate digestive activity. Biotta’s Sauerkraut Juice is healthy and easily digested. It’s extracted from white cabbage through natural lactic acid fermentation. And, since sauerkraut is very low in calories, it contains large amounts of vitamin C and is ideal for diabetics. Biotta’s Sauerkraut Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

The pH Factor

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Sara Cox

Our diets are often too acidic. Acidity can make us tired and less productive, with a reduced feeling of well-being. High levels of acidity can lead to feelings of stress, nervousness, lack of energy, decreased concentration and a higher risk of infection.*

British Journal of Nutrition Study
A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed a strong link between acidic diets and increased risk of being overweight, having elevated blood pressure, and raised cholesterol. Acidity has also been linked to cancer, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue and even poor skin quality.**

How can you reduce acidity?
With all the adverse effects acidity can have in the body, how can we balance our internal chemistry? The article states, “Acid is caused by stress, overly strenuous exercise, lack of rest and too much fried food, meat, cola, alcohol, sugar, dairy, coffee and more.”

Sound like your diet? Well, you can adjust your internal chemistry by consuming more alkaline-producing fruits and vegetables. And that’s where Biotta comes in.

Biotta can help!
What better way to get the full amount of your fruits and vegetables than with 100% organic fruit and vegetable juices from Biotta.

Potato ‘Plus’

Thursday, June 4, 2009 by Sara Cox

Potatoes. They’re one of the most popular vegetables in the world and they’re great for you, too. But the potato wasn’t always so popular. In fact, potatoes have only recently been used as “people food.”

Before the 16th century, potatoes were found in the Central Andes. They weren’t brought to Europe until Sir Walter Raleigh gave a potato plant to Queen Elizabeth as a present. But that didn’t turn out so well.

Here’s the scoop. Only the root of the potato is edible; the rest of the plant is poi

sonous. But Queen Elizabeth’s cook didn’t know that, so he threw out the tuber and cooked the greens. Everyone who ate them fell ill, and potatoes were promptly banned from the court. It took two more centuries before Frederick the Great of Prussia gave potatoes to the poor people to eat. The potato first found its way to the states—to Idaho, of course— via Presbyterian missionaries in 1836 but was not commonly used as human food.*

The Great Famine in Ireland in 1845 came about because of a diseased potato crop. At least one million people died of starvation, and that prompted many Irish people to immigrate to the U.S. At that time, potatoes were used mainly as animal feed in the states. It wasn’t until after the Civil War that the potato took its rightful place in our diet as a staple.*

Potatoes are a great source of protein and potassium. Vitamin-rich, they also contain alkali-producing mineral nutrients, making them valuable as a relief for acid indigestion and heartburn. In addition to problems of the digestive tract, many people use potato juice to relieve arthritis pain, migraines, back pain and some skin problems, such as eczema, dry skin and blemishes. Potatoes have anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and contain the phytonutrient kukoamine, which helps to lower blood pressure.

Biotta’s Potato Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. We’ve added fennel juice to our Potato Juice, which gives this product a pleasant flavor and enhances its effect.

Biotta ‘Stars’ on The View – Part 1

Thursday, May 28, 2009 by Sara Cox

Whoopi Goldberg 'hates all vegetables' – at least that’s what she said on the April 24th episode of The View, ABC's Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show created by Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie. After Whoopi announced her strong dislike for vegetables, Biotta thought they could convince her otherwise.

So we sent her Biotta organic juice samples and a letter that said, in part:

“Dear Ms. Goldberg:

After hearing you voice, ‘I hate all vegetables’ on The View on April 24th, we encourage you to try these enclosed samples of Biotta, the delicious crisp 100% organic vegetable and fruit juices.

As a pioneer in the field of organic juices, Biotta has reinforced the continuous goal to produce top-quality juice from fruits and vegetables.

Biotta has 11 delicious flavors; Beet Juice, Bilberry Juice, Breuss® Vegetable Juice, Carrot Juice, Celery Root Juice, Sauerkraut Juice and Vegetable Cocktail Juice, Potato Juice, Energy Drink, Elderberry Juice and Breakfast Juice. The special element highlighted in the fruit and vegetable juice is the effectiveness and health value, which range from supplying nutrients to boost one’s immune system to aide in digestion. “

Yesterday, May 27th, on The View, Whoopi Goldberg sampled Biotta Vegetable Cocktail Drink! Click http://media.vmsnews.com/MR.pl?id=052709-2310913-X001886581 to see the clip.

Juices or Juicing?

We all know that getting the USDA recommended levels of fruits and vegetables in our diets is important. We can get them by eating them raw or cooked, or by drinking 100% pure organic juice.

Does it matter if you buy juice or juice the fruits and vegetables yourself? In many cases, the juices you purchase are not 100% USDA organic juices like Biotta juices are. So, let’s think about what is involved in juicing your own fruits and vegetables.

First, you have to choose your vegetables carefully. You want to be sure the fruits and vegetables you choose are fresh. You should juice the vegetables right before drinking; prolonged storage of even a day can damage the juice. You need to be careful about switching the juices you drink; if you keep drinking the same juice, you may develop an allergy towards it. You have to wash your vegetables carefully and clean up your juicer after each use. That’s a lot of work for a fresh glass of fruit or vegetable juice.*

Biotta’s organic juices are made from naturally grown fruit and vegetables. Our fruits and vegetables are farmed on chemical-, fertilizer- and toxic-free land. All fruits and vegetables are vine/field-ripened and are selected using the highest quality standards. We use a special manufacturing process to seal in the freshness, pasteurize the juices to retain the high nutritional value, and use glass bottles for full flavor and nutrient protection.

All of our juices are UDSA organic juices. We offer a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices, including:

Vegetable Juices Fruit Juices

Beet Juice Bilberry Juice

Breuss® Vegetable Juice Breakfast Juice

Carrot Juice Elderberry Juice

Celery Root Juice Energy Drink

Potato Juice

Sauerkraut Juice

Vegetable Juice Cocktail

You can juice your own, or you can enjoy the convenience and peace of mind knowing that you are getting a 100% organic, fresh, high-quality juice from Biotta.

One Potato, Two Potato, Three Potato, Four – The Benefits of Potato Juice

Thursday, April 2, 2009 by Sara Cox

The potato, one of the most popular vegetables in the whole world, came to us via South America, specifically the mountains of Peru. For centuries, Peruvians used potato juice for its many therapeutic properties. Potato juice contains alkali-producing mineral nutrients, making it valuable as a relief for acid indigestion and heartburn.

Often, our lifestyles put a great strain on our stomachs. Stress and unbalanced nutrition can lead to problems of the digestive tract. Potatoes contain 15 different minerals and essential amino acids. In addition, potatoes contain high quantities of starch that work with these minerals to help neutralize stomach acid. Many people also use potato juice to relieve arthritis pain, migraines, constipation, and some skin problems, such as eczema, dry skin and blemishes.

Biotta’s Potato Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. Biotta Potato Juice contains fennel juice, giving this product a pleasant flavor and enhancing its effect.
