Organic Sauerkraut Juice

Benefiting from Sauerkraut Juice!

Monday, March 1, 2010 by Mitch B

Organic sauerkraut juice from Biotta is one of the most healthy beverages you can drink.

Sauerkraut has many important vitamins and nutrients that help the digestive system. According to health advisor Andrew Weil:

"The friendly lactobacilli created in the fermenting process by which cabbage is transformed into sauerkraut aid digestion, increase vitamin levels, produce a variety of beneficial enzymes and promote the growth of healthy flora throughout the digestive tract. "

Just a glass of sauerkraut juice a day can provide many strong health benefits. Also, this organic vegetable juice is high in Vitamin C and very low calorie, making it the perfect beverage for diabetics.

If you're looking to buy sauerkraut juice today or any of the other many varieties of fruit and vegetable juices, check out our website at the link below!

Does Sauerkraut help Canker Sores?

Thursday, February 18, 2010 by Sara Cox

An excerpt from 'The People's Pharmacy' by Joe and Teresa Graedon

Q: My favorite home remedy is sauerkraut for canker sores. If I feel one coming on, I put a wad of chopped sauerkraut on the area, hold it there for a minute, then chew it and swallow. I do this three or four times a day for 2-3 days. At least 95% of the time, the sore disappears. For me, that is a miracle, since I have been plagued for many years.

A: Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are mysterious. Trauma to the mouth from sharp food can trigger a sore. So can immune suppression (chemotherapy) or a deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B-12 and iron.

Long ago, we heard about a 1930's canker-sore remedy. A dentist recommended swishing sauerkraut juice serveral times a day, swallowing about a tablespoon. Perhaps the bacteria that ferment cabbage into sauerkraut provide helpful nutrients.

As a sufferer of canker sores, myself, I can relate to this as a miracle! Many things seem to cause mine - improper eating, lack of sleep and exercise, and of course, those times when the toothbrush slips right into your cheek. And I thought Sauerkraut Juice was just good for digestion -- watch out canker sores!

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!

Remember what your mom told you...

Friday, February 5, 2010 by Mitch B

I was no different than most kids growing up. When my mom told me that I needed to eat my vegetables before I could leave the table, I scowled at her and forced them down... one by one. At that point in my life, I could not see the benefits that could come from them.

Funny how things change when you grow up... In just a quick glance over Biotta's fresh juices, you can see that they have a wide selection of vegetable juices that are both nutritious and delicious. Biotta offers healthy juices made from carrots, celery, sauerkraut (cabbage), and beets. Studies have been released about the health benefits of each of these amazing vegetables!

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.

Biotta Juices – Naturally Fermented

Monday, August 10, 2009 by Sara Cox

Some of the ingredient statements for Biotta juices read “100% fermented.” We’ve received dozens of questions about what that means. Is it a yeast fermentation? Is it like the process used in alcohol production? Do we add lactic acid to our juices? Does lactic acid mean there is lactose in the juices? Let’s look at one question at a time.

Q: Is the fermentation of the juices a yeast fermentation?
A: No. Our juices are lacto fermented (explained below). There is no yeast involved.

Q: Is it like the process used in alcohol production?
A: No. Alcohol fermentation uses yeast during the production. Biotta juices contain no yeast and no alcohol.

Q: Do we add lactic acid to our juices?
A: No, lactic acid is not added. The fermentation creates natural lactic acid.

Q: Does lactic acid mean there is lactose in the juices?
A: No. Lactic acid and lactose are different. There is no lactose in our juices, so they are considered lactose-free and also vegan.+

What is Lactic Acid?

Lactofermentation converts sugars and starches found in the vegetables into lactic acid, which is a natural preservative.* In Biotta juices, lactic acid is produced as part of a naturally spontaneous fermentation process.

What Good is Lactic Acid?
Lactic acid preserves the juice and prevents bacterial deterioration. Fermentation has been used for thousands of years in such foods as sauerkraut, cheese, wine, sour grained porridge and breads.** Lactic acid improves the microbiological stability and safety of Biotta juices.

In addition to preservation, lactic acid foods are of vital importance to the human body, especially for digestion and metabolism. Modern medicine is catching up with what our ancient forefathers knew: fermentation is good for you. Nourishedkitchen.com published an article on lactic acid fermentation which states: “Vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains subjected to lactic acid fermentation … see increases in both their macro- and micronutrient profiles.” Later in the same article, we read: “Vegetables that have undergone lactic acid fermentation… often see an increase in the activity of vitamin C and vitamin A.”**

Eat Better. Feel Better.
The consumption of lactofermented vegetables has been studied for its potential health benefits. These studies have revealed significant benefits in the area of reestablishment and maintenance of intestinal health, increased immune function, digestion aid, constipation relief and decreased allergies and infections.*

All Biotta vegetable juices are fermented and contain lactic acid. It’s an organic process—all our vegetable juices are 100% naturally fermented.

Low Heat – High Quality

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by George Pappas

Biotta’s unique pasteurization and manufacturing process is important in retaining our 100% organic juices’ high nutritional value and fresh taste. It is the key to the high quality and long shelf life of every Biotta juice.

Once we have pick

ed our fruits and vegetables at the peak of ripeness to ensure the highest quality, we employ our proprietary production method. Our process excludes oxygen as much as possible, hindering oxidation and the resulting loss of vitamins. Next, we decant the juice from the fruits and vegetables. Instead of pressing the juice, which can damage the nutrients, we use a process of centrifugation to separate the juice from the mash. This basic principle applies throughout our process: the fewer the processing steps and the lower the temperature, the higher the nutritional value of the juice.

With pasteurization, the longer the process and the higher the temperatures, the greater the damage to the juice and its vitamins. Cooking and processing foods at high temperatures destroys nutrients by altering their shape and chemical composition. Because of that, our juices are pasteurized at an average temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas many competitive juices are sterilized at over 250 degrees. We heat the juice quickly and immediately cool it down, using as few stages as possible.

We also use a natural process of lactic acid fermentation, such as is used in the making of sauerkraut and yogurt. We apply the same principle in the production of our all-natural vegetable juices. Enzymes (complex proteins) are deactivated through this preservation process. This maintains the premium quality of the juices while in storage.

Biotta produces USDA 100% organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

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.

Sauerkraut Juice for Canker Sores

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Sara Cox

Sauerkraut juice is a great aid for digestion. Many experts agree that the lactic acid in sauerkraut juice can inhibit the growth of undesired intestinal bacteria and stimulate digestive activity.

But, sauerkraut juice is also widely used as a preventative and a cure for canker sores. The Mayo Clinic website gives this definition for canker sores: “Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth —

under your tongue, inside your cheeks or lips, and at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and aren't contagious. They can be very painful, however, and can make eating and talking difficult. Most canker sores go away on their own in a week or two.”*

Sauerkraut juice is fermented and is full of probiotics (bacteria which are healthy and helpful). Sauerkraut juice has proven to be a very powerful canker sore treatment.**

Treatment Method
Here’s how it works.
1.    Take a tablespoon of sauerkraut juice in your mouth and swish it around thoroughly.
2.    Do this two-three times a day.
3.    You should begin to see results within a few days.
4.    Continue to drink sauerkraut juice on a regular basis as a preventive measure to avoid canker sores in the future.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Juices or Juicing?

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 by George Pappas

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.
