Juicy Juice among other brands touts “100% juice” however if you leave it undisturbed for months on the shelf it never seems to develop any sediment. How can they be 100% juice and not have any solids? What exact process are they using to remove all the sediment and or perfectly homogenize the liquid? You will notice other shelf stable 100% juice brands tend to have a sediment, how do the large brands get around that, while still being pure juice? Is there an FDA definition of “Juice”?
Sorry, this seemed to turn into many questions.
Yes, but the “waste” isn’t just discarded, it is used for other food products. It’s often called pomace and used in animal feeds, compost and sometimes even other food products.
I think the point is that it’s not in the juice. Eating an apple is healthier than an equivalent amount of sugar because of the fiber and vitamins. Juice is basically just the equivalent amount of sugar.
