Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi. Store bought juice is not raw because it has been pasteurized. Buy your juice from a juice bar or better yet make it yourself. Central Market sells a case of organic oranges for about $25.00 plus or minus depending on the price of oranges for the week.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Can anyone tell me for sure whether store-bought orange juice is technically raw, or whether it is subjected to heating? I realize that if it is raw, that the enzymes are long-since dead. Also, does anyone know of a good source for a case of organic oranges at a good price?

I'm on my second case of valencias from Central market. They tend to have the best case prices around. It's in Shoreline off of Aurora, behind Sears. 15505 Westminster 206-363-9226 Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect to hear from anyone so soon. I did get up to Central Market last Saturday (it's quite a drive from Buckley) and I did get a case of young coconuts but didn't think to price the oranges by the case. The next day I made some of date/coconut pudding that Eric brought to the potluck. Very yummy, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hey Stan! Juices are not required to be pasteurized, but most are, because the alternative is for them to go through a very expensive filtration process, that is much more expensive and less reliable. So juice makers are required to do one of the two things, but for economic reasons, most choose pastuerization. Thus none are truly raw. Flash pastuerization is at the lowest possible temp possible to kill bacteria for like 3 seconds, then it is quickly cooled. Regular pasteuization is at a much higher temp for a longer period (up to 30 mins, and are not quickly cooled back down), and in most cases, vitamins are then added back into the juice. So obviously this is bad. Companies that use the flash method, claim that 96% of the orignal vitamins and minerals are intact. I don't know if that is true or not, but even if it is, I believe the enzymes are gone, so the vitamins are a moot point in a way.
