FAQs
What’s the difference between Ocean Organics Cold-Pressed Juice and the juice I make at home?
Our hydraulic cold-press method of juice extraction provides a minimum mixing of air with the juices which results in very slow oxidation or decomposition (we use a Norwalk). The tremendous pressure exerted by our juice press gently and completely extracts the natural fruit sugars, vitamins, trace minerals, enzymes, and other vital elements. Cold-pressing juice is a method of juicing that enables juice to be bottled (without preservatives) and still maintain a 72-hour shelf life. As the blade inside a centrifugal juicer (most home juicers) spins at a high speed, it generates heat. The heat also oxidizes and separates nutrients naturally found in the whole fruits and vegetables, rendering those nutrients that make it into the juice less pure.
What is pasteurization and why isn’t Ocean Organics Juice pasteurized?
Pasteurized juice is heated to a high temperature for a short time before it is sold. About 98% of all juices sold in the United States are pasteurized, namely because it prolongs the shelf life of juice and is the more cost-effective than not pasteurizing. Unfortunately, pasteurization destroys the vital living components of the fruit and vegetables, rendering most ‘juice’ nutritionally deficient and pointless. Ocean Organics promotes the consumption of living, high-frequency fruit and vegetable juice, and therefore we mindfully press, and sell a truly raw and unpasteurized product – unheated and untreated.
What is HPP and why isn’t Ocean Organics Juice treated by HPP?
HPP is an acronym for High Pressure Pascalization (or High Pressure Processing), and it can most easily be understood as preservation technique that does not subject the juice to any heat. Similar to pasteurization, HPP extends the shelf life of raw juice well beyond 72 hours.
Why does Ocean Organics Juice have such a short shelf life? Can I drink my juice past the expiration date?
Ocean Organics juice contains no preservatives and is unpasteurized, and therefore is highly perishable. We employ a cold-pressed juicing process that maximizes the shelf life, but cannot advise consumption of our juice beyond this point. Each juice is labeled with an expiration date -- It is safe to consume the juice within the expiration date, but not beyond.
Why is my juice separated? Is it spoiled?
The appearance of Ocean Organics juice is all natural; We do not filter, preserve or add any fillers. Separation is natural and, as long as juice is within the expiration date and refrigerated properly, a two-tone juice does not indicate spoilage. Always refrigerate your juice, shake before consuming, and enjoy on or before the expiration date.
How many calories are in the juice?
Without getting too deep, consider this: Everything is energy. All energy has a frequency. High, low, or untraceable to the naked eye, energy is present. All raw fruits and vegetables, especially organics, have a high frequency most simply accredited to their live, untainted natural state. Food science is extremely complex, and quoting tired concepts or rules shows a lack of understanding for the variety in our lives. Ocean Organics juice is high-frequency, high-energy juice.
The calorie system is outdated and restrictive. Calories (large or small) are not the most reliable indicator of whether or not a food or drink is healthful and meaningful for your diet. Food and drinks are not meant to be "zero calories, fat free, and carb free." It's important not to allow false marketing to dictate your dietary needs.
Is your juice 100% organic?
Yes. Organic produce is the foundation of our business. Conventionally grown and genetically modified produce is toxic. Ocean Organics juice is made from 100% organic fruits and vegetables, 100% of the time.
