This is a typical example of how product images can influence purchases.
The 250 gram package comes with a tempting picture of only blueberries.
So I bought this juice thinking to take home a concentrate of blueberries because the label adds in English : 112 wild blueberries picked for you !
Surprise! The composition is
- apple juice 47%
- blueberry juice 18%
- banana puree 16.5%
- grape juice 10%
- raspberry puree 8.5%
So only 18% blueberry juice, while the most important part of the juice is apple which fills almost half the pack. Then a whole series of other juices which may be interesting, but which I am not interested in.
The blueberry contains a large number of phytochemicals including flavonoids, polyphenols and anthocyanins to which the scientific literature attributes a positive role in limiting the risks of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2 as they exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. It can therefore be considered a nutraceutical. Well, that's what I wanted to buy, not apple juice or banana puree.
I'm not buying it again.
