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.

The Beauty Benefits of Carrot Juice
Carrot juice really is good for your eyesight. In fact,
organic carrot juice is one of nature’s most “healing” foods; its benefits
including balancing blood acidity and blood sugar, detoxifying the body,
reducing the risk of heart disease by cleaning artery deposits, protecting the
respiratory system, reducing cancer risks, lowering serum cholesterol levels,
reducing inflammation, and building the immune system. Organic carrot
juice is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and
B6. Carrots are also rich in bioton, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus, and organic sodium.*
Looking Great

Low Heat – High Quality
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 picked 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.

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.

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

Breuss® Vegetable Juice. Fruit juices include Bilberry Juice, Elderberry

Pulp ‘Non-Fiction’
Pulp ‘Non-Fiction’
Some consumers prefer drinking clear
juice—juice where the pulp (sediment) has been removed—because they believe it
is purer and therefore healthier. But that is not the case.
Drinking juice with lots of pulp is better for you than clear juice because it
contains polyphenols - antioxidants that help absorb chemicals known to damage
cells in the body.*
Biotta organic juices often have sediment on the bottom. Sediment is a sign of juice in its natural state. Biotta juices use only natural and physical processing methods, as opposed to commonly used chemical methods. Nothing artificial is added during the manufacturing process. In order to remove the pulp, chemical or physical methods are necessary, which are not in accordance with the Biotta philosophy of providing organic, natural juices.
Biotta uses a closed processing method on all our juices. After the fruits and vegetables are washed, the juice – along with the pulp – is extracted through a decanting method that utilizes centrifugation to pull the juice from the fruits and vegetables.
Sediment, or pulp, contains many beneficial properties, such as phytonutrients. For this reason, Biotta organic juices are not enhanced or clarified (filtered). In order to retain the highest possible quantity of vital nutrients in our organic juices, sediment is an essential part of the product.
With Biotta juices, you are getting some valuable pulp ‘non-fiction’ that supports and enhances the characteristics of the juices. So, before you drink to your health, shake Biotta juices well to incorporate that valuable sediment back into the juice.

Juice Versus Processed Fruits
Recent studies have shown that juice may be even better for
us than processed fruits and vegetables. Most of the fruit people eat is
processed, and that can affect its nutritional value.
By contrast, fresh fruits and fresh fruit juice “may have significant clinical and public health relevance,” French researcher Dr. Kelly Decorde of the University Montpelier reports.*
Another study showed that drinking tomato juice may help prevent heart disease by inhibiting the action of clot-promoting blood platelets.** This study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2004;292:805-6) showed that clotting (platelet aggregation) decreased by 27% in the group drinking tomato juice.
Drink To Your Health
Drinking 100% organic juice is a great way to give your body the nutritional value it needs. And you can’t find fresher juices than Biotta. Made from all-natural whole fruits and vegetables, grown and harvested for optimum quality, our juices are minimally processed to ensure great taste and high nutritional value. So why not drink to your health?

Our Sauerkraut Juice is extracted from white cabbage through natural lactic acid fermentation. Buy Sauerkraut Juice, available in 16.9 fl. oz. glass bottles, and see what health benefits await you.
Better to Drink Juice or Eat Raw Fruits/ Vegetables?
Both. Eating raw fruits and vegetables provides
fiber. While fiber has no nutritional value, it is good for digestion and
acts as a cleanser for the intestines. So, of course, it is important to
include raw fruits and vegetables in your diet.
But, drinking fruit and vegetable juice is equally important. The living enzymes present in juice are key to nourishing your body well. And, while eating fresh fruits and vegetables is good, it also takes up to five hours for solid food to be digested before it is ready to provide nourishment to the cells and tissues of the body.* That means, while digestion is taking place, a large percentage of the nourishment the food provides is spent aiding in the digestive process.
Immediate Nourishment
By contrast, drinking fruit and vegetable juices gives your body almost immediate nourishment. Fresh juice is digested and assimilated within 10-15 minutes. Most of the nutrients it contains are used to nourish the body, not aid in digestion. Some experts recommend that you consume at least one pint of 100% organic juice per day. If you are ill, 2-8 pints a day is the recommended amount.

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: Food, Natural Health Product or Drug?
Functional (or fortified) foods—foods with specific
health-enhancing characteristics—are gaining in popularity. They include
breakfast cereals that are said to ward off heart disease, orange juice with
omega-3 fatty acids derived from Peruvian sardines, and chocolate bars aimed at
improving intestinal activity.
In development are even more options: cheese made with cholesterol-lowering plant steroids and a calorie-free probiotic sweetener and amino-acid energy drink to target joint health.*

Food, Natural Health Products or
Drugs?
But, as these products become more numerous and more popular, the question is arising, “Are these products foods, natural health products or drugs?” This topic is becoming more problematic as our country tries to determine where food ends and where drugs begin.
Take Cheerios, for example. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ruled that the way Cheerios is marketed makes it a drug because the health claims on the package imply the cereal “is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation and treatment of disease.”**
Canada’s Rulings
The FDA’s ruling on Cheerios is similar to one in Canada, where a popular brand of orange juice was for years classified as a drug because of its calcium fortification. Sylvain Charlebois, a leading expert on food safety, said, “This is medication through food, without going to see the doctor. The politics around it are getting really complicated.”**
In America, we’re only scratching the surface of this multi-billion dollar trend. As baby boomers seek natural ways to better their health, this trend seems destined to continue. But, says Bill Jeffery, national coordinator of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest in Ottawa, “If consumers really want to improve their eating, they should pay attention to the broad claims that Health Canada has already authorized … such as (the fact that) diets rich in fruits and vegetable help reduce your risk of certain cancers.”

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.

you, not just to toot our own horn, but to show you practical applications and
benefits of drinking our juices.

Here is a note sent to us by a Biotta customer:
I started drinking Biotta Celery Juice about six weeks ago.
I had read about celery juice helping headaches. Eating tons of celery helped a
little - then I found Biotta. Wow, what a difference it makes when the juice is
from the root. The headaches are subsiding because it's also helping with sinus
congestion build-up during my sleep. I woke up with a sinus headache every
morning and the only thing that helped was a very expensive migraine
medication. Then I read where celery juice is helpful in treating bronchitis, so
it's all making sense why it's helping my congestion problem.
Best of all though, it is also helping with my insatiable cravings for sugar. I know from battling Candida years ago, just how hard it is to kick the sugar habit. Back then it took the drug Diflucan to help me with my cravings. Biotta Celery Juice works just as well if not better than the RX. I see this juice as being part of my diet for many years to come.

But, did you know that many people have found celery juice extremely effective for migraine pain? People who have tried various medical treatments and medications have found relief by drinking celery juice.
Migraines
As many as 24 million Americans suffer from migraines—severe headaches often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Migraines are often intense and debilitating. The actual term “migraine” comes from a Greek word which means “half the head.”* Causes of migraines are very complex and include physical and genetic factors, as well as many contributing triggers.
Celery Juice as Treatment Option
Celery juice is recommended both as a preventive treatment and as a treatment during the acute migraine episode. altMD, a website for alternative medicine techniques, states that one of the preventive actions people can take to prevent migraines is to consume celery juice twice daily.*
During a migraine episode, many people have found celery juice to be effective as a cure. MotherNature.com states “Celery juice is rich in coumarins, substances that have a soothing effect on the vascular system and that may benefit those prone to migraines, says naturopathic physician Michael Murray, N.D., author of The Complete Book of Juicing. Fresh celery juice may be drunk alone or combined with other vegetable juices, such as carrot, cucumber, parsley and spinach. Dr. Murray says to drink an eight-ounce glass of the juice twice a day as a preventive, in conjunction with proper medical treatment.”**
Celery juice should be considered by anyone who suffers from migraine headaches, both as a preventive measure and a cure during acute attacks. Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made from freshly harvested organic celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

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.**

And the number one reason to drink
Biotta Beet Juice is…
1. It’s fresh, crisp,
smooth & refreshing—a taste sensation that will surprise you!
CEO Magazine,
a publication developed by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, featured an article about
Biotta in its December 2008 edition. Entitled “Organic Trend: Juices
with Market Potential,” the article explored the background of Biotta, our
dedication to organic farming and environmentally friendly production, and our
expansion into growing international markets.*
Biotta has its roots in Switzerland where, for more than half a century, we’ve been producing 100% organic vegetable and fruit juices. Today, Biotta is the clear leader in Switzerland, with a market share of 70 percent. Biotta’s proprietary production method, as well as our commitment to using the finest organically grown fruits and vegetables, has made our motto “fresh from the field to the bottle” a reality.
Biotta is an organic pioneer that complies with “…all the guidelines of organic farming and holds every national and international label and test certificate.” A company spokesman stated, “Internationally, health is the mega-trend … (but) taste is just as important as health. If you drink our carrot juice, you have to feel like you are biting into a carrot.”*
Growing and processing organic fruit and vegetable juices brings with it some unique challenges. For instance, there are different vintages with vegetables just as there are with wine. So, the Biotta staff must be on their toes all the time. The article continues, “The more hours of sunshine, for example, the higher the sugar content of the carrots. But consumers also want their familiar taste. It’s all about choosing the right time for the harvest and pressing.”*

An interesting report recently came out, entitled the 2009 Organic Industry Survey. It was commissioned by The Organic Trade Association to study the trends in organic sales in the United States. The survey reported that, in 2008, organic sales reached $24.6 billion in the U.S. alone. This figure represents both organic food and organic non-food items. However, organic food is by far the largest segment of the market, accounting for $22.9 billion of the $24.6 billion in sales. In spite of the downturn in the economy, this is a 17.1% growth rate in the sale of organic products across the board, and a 15.5% increase in organic food sales. Organic food now accounts for 3.47% of all food products sold in the U.S.*
What does this tell us?
• That wellness
and health-oriented products are among the strongest consumer demands.
• Consumers are evaluating what is really important to them, and they are deciding that organic foods are worth paying for.
• Consumers are evaluating what is really important to them, and they are deciding that organic foods are worth paying for.
That’s why the penetration of organic products in the marketplace has nearly doubled in the last five years. That’s an amazing statistic—and it shows that buying organic is not a fad – it is a trend that is bound to continue.
Biotta is one of the pioneers of this trend because we have been producing 100% organic fruit and vegetable juices for more than half a century. Every fruit and vegetable we use is grown in land that has been organically farmed for more than 50 years—no chemicals, no fertilizers and no toxins.
Our fruit and vegetable juices come in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles and are available at health food stores and natural food markets across the country.
Is It True – You are What You Eat?
Carrot juice—it’s full of benefits
for you, including lowering blood sugar, reducing the risk of heart diseases
and stroke, lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation and enhancing
eyesight. But, as the old adage ‘You are what you eat’ claims, can
drinking too much carrot juice turn your skin orange?
The simple answer is YES -- carrot juice can turn your skin orange—for a while. When skin turns orange, it is not from the carrot juice per se, it is from the overflow of materials which have been clogging the liver and are being eliminated with the consumption of carrot juice.*
When your skin turns orange for a bit, that is actually a good sign that the system is getting a good cleansing. As you continue to drink the juice and your system is thoroughly cleansed, the color will eventually disappear.* Though the yellowing of the skin from indulging in a heavy dose of carrots is seldom serious and will disappear in a few days, continued carrot gorging can cause medical problems.**
Organic carrot juice is one of nature’s best foods for you. It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6. Carrots are also rich in bioton, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and organic sodium.*

Biotta juices have a two-year shelf
life. That means that, from the date of production to the date the
product expires, Biotta juices can sit on your shelf. At any point in
that time period, you can open a bottle of our organic vegetable or fruit juice
and experience fresh-from-the-field flavor and nutritional value.
Why is such a long shelf life necessary?
Why is such a long shelf life necessary?
1. Fruits and
vegetables are only harvested once a year, so that necessitates a minimum shelf
life of one year.
2. Due to worldwide transportation and distribution, we have to ensure enough time for supplies to reach our markets.
3. Most importantly, we want to ensure that you receive the freshest, best tasting juice available.

3. Most importantly, we want to ensure that you receive the freshest, best tasting juice available.
How do we achieve a two-year shelf life?
Biotta’s two-year shelf life is made possible by our innovative production, packaging and distribution methods. Also, Biotta fruit and vegetable juices are acidic; acidic juices have a naturally longer shelf life without compromising quality.
• Pasteurization.
Our gentle pasteurization method heats the juice quickly and at a low
temperature, and then cools it down immediately, allowing for greater retention
of nutrients. The longer the pasteurization process and the higher the
temperatures, the greater the damage to the juice and the vitamins it
contains. 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.
• Packaging. We package our juices in non-gas-permeable glass packaging; glass provides the best protection for our juices and does not allow external elements to permeate the bottle. The bottles are then placed in cartons and protected from light and dust.

Recent studies have shown that
people who drink at least one glass of vegetable juice every day may
lose more weight than people who don’t drink juice regularly. Lowering
the risk of obesity is a great reason to enjoy Biotta vegetable juices, which
offer fresh-squeezed quality in convenient bottles.
In a recent study, “adults who drank at least 8 ounces of vegetable juice as part of a calorie-controlled, heart-healthy diet lost 4 pounds over 12 weeks, while those who followed the same diet but did not drink the veggie juice lost only 1 pound.”* The vegetable juice drinkers, in addition to losing more weight, were also more likely to get the recommended 3-5 servings of vegetables daily.
The study included 81 participants. Almost 75% of the participants had metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including excess body fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol.
So, go ahead, drink to your health! Biotta produces USDA all natural, organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Certain fruit juices in their raw form are naturally very
strong and sour tasting. Many times a sweetener is added to neutralize
the acids and enhance the flavor.
Agave syrup is made from the same Mexican plant that gives us tequila. The use of agave nectar is a growing trend in the organic sweetener market, increasing from $85 million in 1998 to $200 million in 2008. The syrup has a mild, fruity flavor and can be used as table sugar or in baking as well. Agave nectar is often substituted for sugar or honey in recipes; it can even be used as a topping for pancakes or waffles. It also dissolves quickly, so it is easily used in cold and hot beverages.*
Agave nectars are sold in four varieties: light, amber, dark and raw. Light agave has a mild caramel flavor. The amber variety has a medium-intensity caramel taste. Dark agave is stronger and gives a distinct taste to dishes such as desserts, poultry, meat and seafood. Raw agave has a mild, almost neutral taste.**
Agave nectar and unrefined sugars are added to make the natural sour taste of elderberries and bilberries more palatable in our organic fruit juices.

Potato ‘Plus’
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 poisonous. 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.

‘Cheers’ to Fruit Juice and Your Health
It’s a proven fact. Drinking
fruit juice boosts your health. A recent U.S. study concluded that one
glass of 100% fruit juice every day can help protect again stroke, heart
disease and diabetes, as well as aid weight loss. The study showed that
juice drinkers were leaner, had lower risk of obesity,
and were less prone to metabolic syndrome (defined as three or more of the
following: obesity; low HDL-cholesterol; elevated blood pressure, blood glucose
and fasting triglycerides). Compared to people who do not drink fruit juice,
the juice drinkers had a lower body mass index, lower insulin resistance, and a
smaller waist measurement. The study also showed that the risk for
obesity was 22% lower among fruit juice drinkers.*
More than 14,000 people, age 19 or older, participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2004), conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In addition, the research showed that people who drink 100% pure fruit juice daily generally exhibit other healthy behaviors, such as higher physical activity levels, better diets, lower fat and sugar intake, and a higher fiber intake.
Biotta produces USDA all natural, organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. Our fruit juices include Breakfast Juice, Bilberry Juice, Elderberry Juice, and our Energy Drink.

Organic Food: From Farm to Family
Biotta was proud to participate in the Northeastern Organic Farming Association’s (NOFA) Second Annual Luncheon and Panel Discussion, held Tuesday, April 14 in New York City. NOFA-NY is an organization of consumers, gardeners and farmers creating a sustainable regional food system which is ecologically sound and economically viable (www.nofany.org).
This was the second annual NOFA luncheon and education panel to benefit NOFA-NY. The event included an organic luncheon menu which featured Roasted Beet Tartare, Root Vegetable Risotto, Braised Jerusalem Artichoke and Mushrooms, followed by Sprouted Wheat Flour Shortcake with preserved Blackberries for dessert. Biotta Organic Vegetable Juice Cocktail was among the beverages served.
Special guest and Chairwoman Christie Brinkley, known for her commitment to organic food, attended the luncheon. There were approximately 200 people in attendance. Biotta, a company committed to organic farming since our inception more than 50 years ago, was one of the sponsors for the event.
Biotta Goes Hollywood
April 22, 2009 was Earth Day and, to celebrate Biotta’s
commitment to environmental responsibility, we were among a number of companies
that sent a collection of “green” gifts to some high-profile celebrities.
These gifts included fashion, health and beauty products. Biotta provided
our Breakfast Juice, Energy Drink and Vegetable Juice Cocktail. Among the
celebrities who received Biotta juices were Justin Timberlake, Leonardo
DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tina Fey, Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl
Crow, Eva Longoria, Tobey Maguire, Drew Barrymore and Sting.

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

Biotta thought they could convince her otherwise.
So we sent her Biotta organic juice samples and a letter that said, in part:

The value of a juice is determined
by the quality of the fruits and vegetables that go into it. It is
impossible to make a high-quality juice from low-quality raw ingredients.
So what makes Biotta juices premium?
* Organic raw ingredients
* Fresh from the field to the bottle
* Nothing reconstituted from concentrate
* The most gentle processing
* No artificial additives
In the Field
Biotta uses only organic farming for all our fruits and vegetables. For more than 50 years, we’ve been dedicated to producing top-quality organic juices from fruits and vegetables that are fresh from the field to the bottle. Over the years, Biotta has farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free, and toxic-free land.
Production and Preservation Processes
Production processes have a direct influence on the quality of a juice. The basic rule is: the fewer steps in the production and the lower the processing temperature, the higher the nutritional value of the juice. Biotta extracts juice from healthy, field/vine-ripened fruits and vegetables. Competitors often store vegetable juices in tanks to be bottled as needed. The result is that these juices are repeatedly heated and the quality is diminished. Biotta bottles our juices immediately after extracting the juice.
Concentrates and Additives
Biotta juices are never reconstituted from concentrates, and no artificial additives (preservatives, vitamins) are used.
Biotta juices are 100% organic, fresh from the field to the bottle. Great care is taken throughout the growing and production processes to ensure our customers receive the freshest juices available on the market.
If you’re looking for pure, organic juices that bring nature’s goodness to the table, check out Biotta organic juices. Biotta produces USDA organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Since 1951—long before the organic
trend began—Biotta adopted 100% organic methods of production. Our goal
has always been to cultivate without chemical fertilizers and toxic
sprays. Our vision is to promote good health, using organically
cultivated products of the highest quality.
Dr. Hugo Brandenberger, one of the founders of Biotta AG, said, “People can only be as healthy as the livestock and plants that make up their diets.” Accordingly, he believed that every step followed by Biotta should be in agreement with this 100% organic philosophy, from cultivation in the fields to the finished product in the bottle. All around the world, Biotta is regarded as a pioneer in organics.
Biotta follows strict federal guidelines, and all our products bear the USDA Organic label. The USDA’s National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) regulates these standards for any farm or handling operation that wants to sell its product as organically produced.
Biotta also demands the highest organic quality from our suppliers. As much as possible, all raw materials are acquired locally, and the transportation of these fruits and vegetables through to the finished products takes place over land or on water, with no air transport at all.

Diabetics can enjoy all the benefits
of Biotta juices, providing they count the carbohydrates in their individual
diet plans. Biotta’s pure organic juices provide the body with vital
nutrients, essential to the person with diabetes.
Which Biotta juices are best for diabetics?
Highly Recommended
All Biotta pure organic vegetable juices, except Potato (high in starch). These juices are very low in carbohydrates but high in vitamins, minerals and essential phytonutrients.
Recommended
Biotta Breakfast Juice, Biotta Energy Drink, and Biotta Potato. These beverages are slightly higher in carbohydrates than pure vegetable juices. However, these carbohydrates are derived solely from the fruits and vegetables themselves and do not contain any added sugar. The sugar profile of these juices shows a high amount of fructose, which is more suitable for diabetics than glucose.
Recommended in Limited Quantities
Biotta Bilberry and Elderberry Juices. When consuming these juices, it is recommended that people with diabetes dilute the beverages with water or mineral water.
Biotta’s pure organic juices are available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Why does Biotta use glass bottles
instead of plastic to package our juices?
Protection. With Biotta, it’s all about what is best for our
natural organic juices, and glass provides the best protection. Combined
with our safety seal, our glass bottles ensure non-gas-permeability. That
means external elements (like oxygen) can’t get into the product. It also
guarantees that nothing is able to escape from the bottle. That’s why
Biotta juices retain their flavor, content and aroma.
Shelf Life. Juices bottled in glass have the longest shelf
life – up to two years for most Biotta juices.
Migration. With
PET, carton or aluminum packaging, there can be a migration of packaging
materials or other food flavors into the product, which can have a negative
effect on the product quality. With glass, there is no migration into the
juices.
Consumer Preference. According to a recent study, 72% of consumers find
glass the ideal packaging for organic products.*
Product Enjoyment. According to a study by the G.R.P. Institute for Rational
Psychology, packaging has a major influence on how much people enjoy a
beverage. The test showed that juice in glass containers received the best
ratings, and juice in PET and cartons ranked much lower.
Recyclability. Up to 100% of the glass that is recycled can be
reused. Biotta is committed to environment responsibility and energy
conservation.
For all these reasons, Biotta
packages its natural organic juices in glass bottles. They are hygienic,
appetizing, tasteless and practical. Biotta juices are available in 16.9
and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Why go out of your way to buy
organic foods and beverages? Is there really such a big difference?
Organic foods are grown in a healthier environment, so they are healthier for
you. For a food or beverage to bear the title of USDA Organic, strict
regulations have to be followed. The USDA’s National Organic Board (NOB)
regulates these standards for any farm or handling operation that wants to sell
its product as organically produced. Foods that bear the title “healthy”
or “natural” have no such regulations.
Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. If you buy produce that is not organic, you may be able to wash the pesticides off the produce, but you can’t remove them from the environment in which the fruits and vegetables were grown.
Some studies seem to indicate that, in addition to the absence of chemicals, organically grown fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and minerals than their non-organic counterparts.*
Biotta uses only organic farming for all our fruits and vegetables. For more than 50 years, we’ve been dedicated to producing top-quality organic juices from fruits and vegetables that are fresh from the field to the bottle. Over the years, Biotta has farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free, and toxic-free land.

Acidity can make us tired and less
productive, with a reduced feeling of well being. High levels of acidity
in the body can lead to increased feelings of stress, nervousness, lack of
energy, decreased concentration and a higher risk of infection.
Our diets today are very acidic. The increased consumption of protein, sugar and fat, as well as nicotine, alcohol and caffeine have increased the acidity in our bodies. For a healthy metabolism, a balanced relationship between acids and alkalis should be maintained (pH balance).
Some foods leave alkaline residue in our bodies after undergoing digestion and metabolism; others leave acidic residues. If our diet has too many acidic foods, the body cannot maintain a proper balance. When acids accumulate in the body, health problems like fatigue, insomnia, headache, and hyperacidity begin to occur.**
To maintain a proper pH balance in our bodies, a sufficient supply of alkaline nutrients (minerals and trace elements) are necessary. Fruits and vegetables are ideal for this. All natural Biotta juices act as alkalis in the body, helping to regulate the body’s pH balance and eliminate toxins. Biotta produces USDA all natural, organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Our diets today are very acidic. The increased consumption of protein, sugar and fat, as well as nicotine, alcohol and caffeine have increased the acidity in our bodies. For a healthy metabolism, a balanced relationship between acids and alkalis should be maintained (pH balance).
Some foods leave alkaline residue in our bodies after undergoing digestion and metabolism; others leave acidic residues. If our diet has too many acidic foods, the body cannot maintain a proper balance. When acids accumulate in the body, health problems like fatigue, insomnia, headache, and hyperacidity begin to occur.**

Like other energy beverages,
Biotta’s organic Energy Drink is designed to increase alertness and physical
performance. It’s healthy, refreshing and natural. Made from 100%
juice, not flavored water, the caffeine in Energy comes from the guarana bean,
a natural form of caffeine that is 2-3 times as strong as the coffee bean.
Biotta’s organic Energy Drink gets its power from the properties of the organic fruits and other ingredients that go into it.
Juices
Grape Juice – The dextrose content provides fuel for the brain, and the fructose provides slow-acting fuel for the body.
Araza – Araza is rich in vitamin C and has a delicious, refreshing taste.
Camu camu – With the highest vitamin C content of all tropical and sub-tropical fruits, camu camu is juicy, aromatic and flavorful.
Acai – This palm fruit, found in the rain forests of Brazil, is packed with energy, rich in plant proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Aronia – The fruit from the aronia shrub is sweet and sour, and is very rich in anthocyans, flavonoids, polyphenois, vitamins and minerals.
Lime – Limes provide a refined, fruity taste; they contain vitamin C and other important nutrients, potassium and phosphorus.

Did you know there was a difference
between recyclable and reusable bottles? For a
long time, I thought they were the same thing. But they’re
not. Biotta uses recyclable bottles, not reusable
ones.
To reuse a bottle that contained
juice would require extensive cleaning. Here’s why: Unlike mineral water,
fruit and vegetable juices leave a residue in the bottles, requiring extensive
cleaning. In the case of reusable bottles, this would require a great deal
of hot water and a high concentration of chemicals. It would also require
the cost of return transportation, to have the bottles shipped back to Biotta.
Instead, we use recyclable
bottles. Thanks to the heat reclamation during the melting process, the
energy consumption of the glass production is reduced by 30%. At the same
time, pollutants and CO2-emissions are reduced by the same
percentage. That means that glass can be recycled quickly and
inexpensively into new packaging.
Up to 100% of the glass that is
recycled can be reused. Additionally, glass is comprised of natural
materials. When you look at all the variables, it is more environmentally
responsible to bottles fruit and vegetable juices in recyclable bottles, rather
than reusable ones. Even though Earth Day is only celebrated one day a
year, we like to celebrate it in everything we do!
Biotta produces USDA organic juices,
available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Biotta
organic juices often have sediment on the bottom. Sediment is a sign of
juice in its natural state. Sediment, also called pulp, contains many
beneficial properties, such as phytonutrients. For this reason, Biotta
organic juices are not enhanced or clarified (filtered).
Biotta juices use only natural and
physical processing methods, as opposed to commonly used chemical
methods. Nothing artificial is added during the manufacturing
process. After the fruits and vegetables are washed, they undergo a closed
processing method. The juice – along with the pulp – is extracted through
a decanting method that utilizes centrifugation to pull the juice from the
fruits and vegetables.
In order to retain the highest
possible quantity of vital nutrients in our organic juices, sediment is an
essential part of the product. It supports and enhances the
characteristics of the juices. To remove the pulp, chemical or physical
methods are necessary, which are not in accordance with the Biotta philosophy
of providing organic, natural juices. So simply chill and shake Biotta
juices well to incorporate that valuable sediment back into the juice and
enjoy!
Biotta produces USDA organic juices,
available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Biotta pure organic juices are not
always exactly the same hue. The color of the juice may vary, depending on
the weather, the natural sugar content of the fruits and vegetables and the
acidity. Similar to wine, the changes in climate can make distinct
variations in color.
At Biotta, we try to control
significant variations by controlling the types of fruits
and vegetables chosen. Biotta has established reliable and scientific
organic growing techniques which our farmers follow. Then, we choose only
the best fruits and vegetables for inclusion in our juices.
Biotta’s healthy juices are made
from naturally grown fruits 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.
When variations in color occur, we
blend different batches for more uniform appearance. We never use
concentrates; our pure organic juices are absolutely uncompromised. No
adjustments in aroma, flavor or color are made. That means, while our
juices may vary slightly in color and taste, they are 100% natural. You
cannot buy a fresher juice product—period. Our juices are fresh from the
field to the bottle.
Biotta juices have an amazing
two-year shelf life. How do Biotta’s 100% organic juices retain their high
nutritional value and fresh taste for that length of time? Our closed
manufacturing process is the key to our juices’ quality and longevity.
First of all, we start by picking
our fruits and vegetables at the peak of ripeness to ensure the highest
quality. We then move to our proprietary production method, which excludes
oxygen as much as possible. That hinders 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.
Our pasteurization process is also
important to our juices’ quality. The longer the pasteurization process
and the higher the temperatures at which the pasteurization takes place, the
greater the damage to the juice and the vitamins it contains. 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.
Next, we package our juices in 100% non-gas-permeable glass packaging. Glass provides the best product protection. No undesired external elements (such as oxygen) can permeate the bottle, and that helps to retain vitamins. Even our method of storage and transportation come into play. UV rays can break down vitamins, which is why Biotta juices are packaged in closed cartons for storage and distribution. Biotta produces USDA 100% organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
So yesterday I wrote about what
makes a food ‘Natural’. Let’s take a look at how ‘Organic’ differs:
Organic
“Organic foods are made according to
certain production standards. The use of conventional non-organic pesticides,
insecticides and herbicides is greatly restricted and avoided as a last
resort.”**
For a food or beverage to bear the
title of USDA Organic, strict regulations have to be followed. The USDA’s
National Organic Board (NOSB) regulates these standards for any farm or
handling operation that wants to sell its product as organically
produced.*** Foods that bear the title “healthy” or “natural” have no such
regulations.
“What is organic food?
Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable
resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental
quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy
products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth
hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides;
fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering;
or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled ‘organic,’ a
Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make
sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic
standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to
your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.”****
Organic farming uses natural
fertilizers, green manures, and crop rotation to minimize insects and diseases
and maximize the soil health. It reduces external influences that could
compromise the purity of the harvest and eliminates synthetic pesticides,
hormones and antibiotics. It places a strong focus on renewable resources
and protecting the environment.
Biotta juices are proud to bear the
certification of “USDA Organic.” Grown on more than 1,700 acres of
chemical-, fertilizer- and toxic-free land, our fruits and vegetables are
vine-ripened and are processed in a closed manufacturing
environment. Instead of pressing the fruit or vegetable, Biotta pulls the
juice out with a gentle process called decanter technology. The juices are
then pasteurized to retain the high nutritional value.
Biotta produces USDA organic juices,
available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
The media has taught us to read food
labels. Many of them say “Natural” or “Organic.” The questions are
“Is there a difference?’ and ‘What do each of those really mean?’ The
answers are quite clear.
Natural
Generally speaking, natural foods
are foods that do not contain any additives, such as preservatives or
artificial coloring. However, despite the widespread use of the word
“natural,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discourages companies from
using the term because of its ambiguity. "Natural
may unjustifiably imply that a food is of superior quality or safety compared
to other similar foods", said the FDA’s Ritu Nalubola. Neither FDA
nor the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has precise rules for “natural.”
In a press release put out by the
Institute of Food Technologists entitled “Is There a Definition for Natural
Foods?” this statement appears:
“In
1991, FDA tried to define the term and, by 1993, gave up. The agency decided to
“not restrict the use of ‘natural’ on products. It is a very complex term,”
Nalubola said. Today FDA is continuing that practice, originated in 1988. For a
product to be called natural, it must be free of artificial or synthetic ingredients
or additives, including color, flavor or any ingredient “not normally
expected.” Hence, lemonade flavored with beet juice cannot be called natural.
In addition, any food enhanced with caramel, paprika or color (consider bright
orange cheese) cannot be called natural.”*
Because such regulatory
agencies as FDA and USDA haven’t defined the term, products that are labeled
“natural” are subject to the agencies’ “best current thinking of what
constitutes truthful labeling.”*
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

Carrot
Juice Elderberry

Celery
Root Juice Energy

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.
Functional foods are “foods or
dietary components that may provide a health benefit beyond basic
nutrition.”* Functional foods may have health-promoting or
disease-preventing properties that can help you prevent or treat chronic
conditions.
Functional foods include fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, fortified foods and beverages, and some dietary
supplements. Researchers have recently begun to discover that some of the
specific compounds in fruits and vegetables can influence health and
wellness.**
Many scientific organizations are
currently trying to establish guidelines to validate claims for functional
foods. In order for people to fully understand the health benefits of
certain foods, it’s important that a strong effort be made to document
scientific criteria that are used for health statements and claims.*
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are
great ways to bring more functional foods into your diet. They help you
personalize your nutrition, so you can consume the functional foods most likely
to help your condition. For example,
if you have digestive concerns, you may want to try Biotta’s Sauerkraut
Juice. Hypertension problems? Drink Biotta Beet Juice to increase the
betacyans in your diet and help lower blood pressure. Eyesight
concerns? Try our carrot juice with natural beta-carotene, which is
essential for your eyes.
With the increased interest in
functional foods, the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetable juices can hardly
be overstated. Biotta’s 100% fresh juices allow you to choose the
individualized approach that will benefit you most.
Biotta produces USDA organic juices,
available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Energy drinks are generally
described as carbonated drinks that contain large amounts of caffeine and sugar
with added ingredients, such as B vitamins, amino acids and herbal
stimulants. Energy drinks are incredibly popular; in 2005, sales reached
$3.5 billion in the US alone.*
Energy drinks are designed to
increase alertness and physical performance. They have a stimulant effect
on the body that is a result of the combination of caffeine, sugar and herbal
supplements.**
Biotta
Energy Drink is a clever alternative to existing energy drinks
and other pick-me-ups. An organic energy drink, Biotta’s Energy is
healthy, refreshing and natural. It’s made from six unique fruit juices
and is slightly carbonated. Unlike other energy drinks, Biotta Energy
Drink is made from 87% juice, not flavored water. The caffeine in Energy
comes from the guarana bean, a natural form of caffeine that is 2-3 times as
strong as the coffee bean.
If you are under pressure to perform
but are plagued with fatigue, try Biotta’s Energy Drink. In addition to a
grape juice blend, Biotta energy contains tea extract, Amazon juice blend
(guava juice, camu-camu juice, acai juice, aronia juice), lime juice and
guarana powder.
Biotta Energy Drink is available in
a 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.
Biotta uses only organic farming for
all our fruits and vegetables. For more than 50 years, we’ve been
dedicated to producing top-quality organic juices from fruits and vegetables
that are fresh from the field to the bottle. Over the years, Biotta has
farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free, and toxic-free
land. But is all this really necessary? What are the differences
between organic cultivation and conventional farming?

Basically, organic farming is a
whole eco-system, consisting of the soil, plants, animals, water and
air. Only natural, environmentally appropriate fertilization is used,
consisting of nutrient-rich, living organic and in-organic
components. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides and genetic
manipulation are never used.

Do you think all nitrates are
bad? In a recent post regarding Biotta Beet Juice, I mentioned that “Beets
are loaded with nitrates, and recent studies have shown that nitrates play a
big part in lowering blood pressure.” What’s the scoop on
nitrates? Good or bad?
The issue of nitrates in foods is a
complex one, but here’s the simple explanation. Nitrates are a combination
of nitrogen and oxygen and are naturally occurring in vegetables, since those
represent the main sources of energy required for plant growth. The amount
of nitrates naturally found in vegetables varies depending on the kind of
vegetables. Some of the vegetables with the highest levels of naturally
occurring nitrates are beets and radishes.
The nitrate levels naturally found
in vegetables are regarded as safe. The concern with nitrates centers
around added nitrates—nitrates added to food for preservation
purposes. In the food processing business, special care must be taken when
nitrates are added to foods. In some instances, nitrates can chemically
link to naturally occurring amines in food and create carcinogenic
compounds.
Biotta does not add any nitrates to
our juices, and our juices contain no amines.
They are all USDA 100% organic juices; there is no risk of forming
carcinogenic compounds. In fact, the scientific community has discovered
that the naturally occurring nitrate content in foods can be very
beneficial to people attempting to control their
hypertension. Eating vegetables and fruits is a good dietary practice,
whether it is because of the naturally occurring nitrate content or because of
the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. At Biotta, we also know that the
tastiest way to get your vegetables is from Biotta juices!
Biotta produces USDA organic juices,
available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Our mothers always told us to eat
our vegetables. At Biotta, we’d like you to consider drinking them,
too. The benefits of vegetables to the healthy functioning of our bodies
can hardly be over-emphasized. And one of the benefits of vegetable juice
is that it delivers an immediate boost of vital nutrients and vitamins.
USDA guidelines for Americans state
that ¾ cup of 100% vegetable juice cocktail is equivalent to one serving of
vegetables. A recent UC Davis study found that drinking vegetable juice on
a daily basis increases the chances of meeting the daily recommended number of
vegetable servings.*
Biotta’s
Vegetable Juice Cocktail is a well-balanced blend of several vital
nutrients. It’s made from freshly gathered organic vegetables,
including tomatoes, carrots, celeriac and beetroots, finished off with lemon
juice, spices and a pinch of sea salt. It’s delicious and good for you,
too. Biotta’s Vegetable Juice Cocktail is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl.
oz. recyclable glass bottles.
In the early 1900s, naturopath
Rudolph Breuss developed a recipe for Breuss Vegetable Juice as an alternative
method of treating disease, including cancer. Breuss Vegetable Juice is
particularly suited for juice-fasting regimens because it is composed of a
balanced blend of vegetables to provide the nutrients the body needs during a
purification regimen.
Rudolph Breuss wrote a book entitled “The Breuss Cancer Cure: Advice for the Prevention and Natural Treatment of Cancer, Leukemia and Other Seemingly Incurable Diseases.” This book, still available today, has sold more than 900,000 copies and has been translated into five languages. It theorizes that cancer feeds and grows on protein. He deduced that fasting, therefore, could detoxify and cleanse the body, while starving the cancer. Many people still follow this regimen today as a natural treatment for this disease.
Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is produced according to the original recipe developed in consultation with Rudolph Breuss. In fact, Biotta holds the exclusive license for the worldwide production and distribution of Breuss Juice. A balanced mixture of valuable vegetable juices, Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is made from freshly gathered organic vegetable such as beetroots, carrots, celeriac, potatoes and radishes. Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Most
people use celery to spice up their salads and cooking recipes. But, did
you know that the benefits of celery juice include ridding the body of toxins
and stimulating kidney function, among many others?
Overeating
and the wrong kind of diet can place a great strain on the body. pH levels
are thrown out of balance, and that disrupts the body’s metabolism and allows
harmful toxins to accumulate. The result can be kidney and bladder
problems, a tendency toward kidney stones, gout, rheumatism, and
arthritis. Celery root juice is recognized for its essential oils and high
potassium content. The benefits of celery root juice include its action as
a diuretic, its ability to help neutralize the pH balance, and its stimulation
of the kidneys, which rids the body of toxins.
Many
people find the benefits of celery root juice extend to a variety of other
illnesses, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, headache,
inflammation, insomnia, migraines, nervous problems and weight
loss. Celery juice provides a significant source of potassium, which is
great for a hydrated and healthy skin. Another benefit of celery juice is
its use in the treatment of high blood pressure.*
Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made
from freshly harvested celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable
glass bottles.
Today
more than ever, we all want to take better care of our earth. The awareness
and even the smallest efforts make a big impact. Biotta has been
eco-conscious for decades! Here are just a few ways Biotta is doing its
part to foster environmental sustainability:
- All Biotta organic juices are made from naturally grown fruits and vegetables. Over the years, Biotta has farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free and toxic-free land.
- Not only do we produce high-quality organic juices, we bring our commitment to environmental stewardship into every aspect of our process. We are a company that believes in environmental sustainability, and we practice what we preach. We sell the unusable by-products of the fruits and vegetables to farmers for use as organic animal pomace, ensuring that every element of the crop is put to good use.
- Biotta uses only recyclable glass bottles to provide the best protection and allow for the full retention of flavor, content and nutrients. Biotta’s organic juices are available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
- Biotta’s labels are printed on FSC-certified paper in an effort to support companies committed to environmental sustainability.
From growing and harvesting to
processing, pasteurizing, bottling, shipping and distribution, Biotta has
developed reliable and scientific growing and production techniques that
protect the nutritional integrity and natural value of each bottle of juice.
From organically grown fruits and
vegetables to our processing and bottling, Biotta takes great care to protect
the natural wholesomeness and taste of all our ingredients. Our uniquely
designed production process starts with a thorough washing; then, the selected
fruits and vegetables are placed in a closed manufacturing process.
That means that the next time oxygen
will come in contact with this product is when the consumer opens the
bottle! 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.
At Biotta, we like to say that our
juices are “fresh from the field to the bottle.” And we mean
it. 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.
Did you know that you can see
organic freshness? The higher quality of organic products is noticeable in
the better flavor, but also in the crystal formations in the fruits and
vegetables. Here’s an example of a conventionally grown potato and an
organically grown one. The crystal formations in organic vegetables are
regular and harmonious. Those in the conventionally grown vegetable are
irregular.
Organically grown potatoes
Conventionally grown potatoes

What does that mean for our customers? It means they get higher-quality juice with noticeably better flavor—juice that is pure and provides considerably more health protection. At Biotta, our vegetables and fruit juices feature the USDA 100% Organic label on each bottle.
Both
European and American cultures have long used elderberry juice to boost the
immune system and help relieve colds and flu. Because elderberry juice has
been medically proven to be a strong anti-viral and immune system enhancer, it
is often recommended as part of a health maintenance program.
Another reason people take
elderberry juice is to ease the strain on the respiratory system. Because
of the increase in air pollution, many people suffer from blocked respiratory
passages. The natural active ingredients in elderberries can help
regenerate the cilia’s filtering function; that’s why it’s a natural to help
relieve colds and flu (some people even drink it to help relieve symptoms of
asthma).
Biotta’s Elderberry Juice is made from
freshly gathered, sun-ripened organic elderberries and is available in an 8.4
fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.
When you say hello to spring, do you
say good-bye to cold & flu season? Actually, experts say the flu
season can last until May! A recent study, cited in a PRWeb® press release*
noted that some Americans, particularly young adults, are more prone to illness
during the change of seasons.
So,
how can we keep our immune system strong all year round? The article cites
the usual advice (drink water, get plenty of rest and exercise). But, it
also mentions the benefits of elderberries. Elderberries have twice the
amount of antioxidants as blueberries and cranberries. Elderberry juice
also supplies vitamin C to assist in the prevention and treatment of colds;
it’s been medically proven as a strong anti-viral and immune system
enhancer.
Biotta’s Elderberry Juice is made
from freshly gathered, sun-ripened organic elderberries and is available in an
8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.
Sauerkraut – it’s just for hot dogs,
right? Not so! The English sailor Captain James Cook kept his crew
healthy with sauerkraut back in 1775. In fact, he was awarded the Copley Medal in
1776 for demonstrating that sauerkraut could be used to allay scurvy in British
crews on long sea voyages.
Many people suffer from sluggish
bowels and poor digestion. The reason for this is often improper
nutrition. Sauerkraut juice is rich in L (+) lactic acid to activate the
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 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.
The early Greeks believed in the
benefits of carrot juice, and it has been considered one of the healthiest
snacks since then. What exactly are the benefits of carrot
juice? First, carrots are rich in natural beta-carotene, which our bodies
transform into vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential to our eyesight, but it
also helps keep the mucous membranes that line all the cavities of our bodies
healthy, promotes the growth of bones and teeth, and helps us resist
infections.
Carrot juice is also high in the
vitamin B complex. It’s rich in important minerals (calcium, copper,
magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulfur and iron), and
contains vitamin E, which is thought to help prevent cancer.
Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available
in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
You bet. And here’s
why. Our amazing bodies have the ability to change natural beta-carotene
into vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes. Our lifestyle (computer
screens, TV watching, night driving, reading and writing in artificial light)
places an enormous strain on our eyes. That means the body needs more
vitamin A, which is plentiful in carrots.
Biotta’s Carrot Juice celebrated its
50th anniversary in 2007. For more than half a century, we have
been producing 100% natural, organic, fresh carrot juice to pharmacies, health
food stores, natural food stores and select grocers throughout the country.
Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available
in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
The benefits of beet juice are
becoming more evident all the time. In
addition to its value in strengthening the immune system, recent studies have
shown that drinking just two cups of beet juice a day may reduce blood pressure
(WebMD, Feb. 8, 2008).
Beets are loaded with nitrates, and
recent studies have shown that nitrates play a big part in lowering blood
pressure. A Feb. 4th online
edition of the journal Hypertension
included information about a study where 14 healthy volunteers drank two cups
of beet juice or water. Those who drink
beet juice experienced a drop in blood pressure one hour after drinking it, and
the benefits continued for up to 24 hours.
No wonder Biotta’s Beet Juice is our
most popular juice. Biotta’s Beet Juice
is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
Beet juice is fresh, crisp, smooth
and refreshing—and great for you! Beetroot juice contains betacyans, which
strengthen the immune system. Beet juice is Biotta’s most popular juice,
rich with natural minerals and vitamins.
Many articles have been written
about the benefits of beet juice, including some recent studies that have found
that beet juice may reduce blood pressure. Beet juice also helps maintain cell
functions and strengthens your body’s own natural resistance to disease.

Welcome to the Biotta
Blog! While we are new to blogging, we’re not new to 100% pure organic
juices—we’ve been producing them for more than 50 years. In our blog
posts, we’ll be informing you about the benefits of our all-natural juices—beta
carotene, nitrates, cleansing and detoxification, the reduction of blood
pressure, and lots more!
Biotta juices are amazing
products. We provide a unique taste experience through our natural whole
fruits and vegetables, grown and harvested for optimum quality, then minimally
processed to ensure great taste and high nutritional value.
Through our blog, we want to share
with you new and exciting information—not just about Biotta juices—but also
about creating a healthy lifestyle, supporting organic efforts and creating a
healthy environment. And we’d also love to hear from you.
At Biotta, we like to say that our
juices are “fresh from the field to the bottle.” And we mean
it. 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.
Did you know that you can see
organic freshness? The higher quality of organic products is noticeable in
the better flavor, but also in the crystal formations in the fruits and
vegetables. Here’s an example of a conventionally grown potato and an
organically grown one. The crystal formations in organic vegetables are
regular and harmonious. Those in the conventionally grown vegetable are
irregular.

What does that mean for our customers? It means they get higher-quality juice with noticeably better flavor—juice that is pure and provides considerably more health protection. At Biotta, our vegetables and fruit juices feature the USDA 100% Organic label on each bottle.
Both
European and American cultures have long used elderberry juice to boost the
immune system and help relieve colds and flu. Because elderberry juice has
been medically proven to be a strong anti-viral and immune system enhancer, it
is often recommended as part of a health maintenance program.
Another reason people take
elderberry juice is to ease the strain on the respiratory system. Because
of the increase in air pollution, many people suffer from blocked respiratory
passages. The natural active ingredients in elderberries can help
regenerate the cilia’s filtering function; that’s why it’s a natural to help
relieve colds and flu (some people even drink it to help relieve symptoms of
asthma).
Biotta’s Elderberry Juice is made
from freshly gathered, sun-ripened organic elderberries and is available in an
8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.
When you say hello to spring, do you
say good-bye to cold & flu season? Actually, experts say the flu
season can last until May! A recent study, cited in a PRWeb® press release*
noted that some Americans, particularly young adults, are more prone to illness
during the change of seasons.
So,
how can we keep our immune system strong all year round? The article cites
the usual advice (drink water, get plenty of rest and exercise). But, it
also mentions the benefits of elderberries. Elderberries have twice the
amount of antioxidants as blueberries and cranberries. Elderberry juice
also supplies vitamin C to assist in the prevention and treatment of colds;
it’s been medically proven as a strong anti-viral and immune system
enhancer.

Sauerkraut – it’s just for hot dogs,
right? Not so! The English sailor Captain James Cook kept his crew
healthy with sauerkraut back in 1775. In fact, he was awarded the Copley Medal in
1776 for demonstrating that sauerkraut could be used to allay scurvy in British
crews on long sea voyages.
Many people suffer from sluggish
bowels and poor digestion. The reason for this is often improper
nutrition. Sauerkraut juice is rich in L (+) lactic acid to activate the
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 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.
The early Greeks believed in the
benefits of carrot juice, and it has been considered one of the healthiest
snacks since then. What exactly are the benefits of carrot
juice? First, carrots are rich in natural beta-carotene, which our bodies
transform into vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential to our eyesight, but it
also helps keep the mucous membranes that line all the cavities of our bodies
healthy, promotes the growth of bones and teeth, and helps us resist infections.
Carrot juice is also high in the
vitamin B complex. It’s rich in important minerals (calcium, copper,
magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulfur and iron), and
contains vitamin E, which is thought to help prevent cancer.
Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available
in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
You bet. And here’s
why. Our amazing bodies have the ability to change natural beta-carotene
into vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes. Our lifestyle (computer
screens, TV watching, night driving, reading and writing in artificial light)
places an enormous strain on our eyes. That means the body needs more
vitamin A, which is plentiful in carrots.
Biotta’s Carrot Juice celebrated its

been producing 100% natural, organic, fresh carrot juice to pharmacies, health
