Traditional Apple Juice Vs Upple
At Upple, we created our delicious whole apple drinks because we know that the best and biggest apple health benefits are found in the pulp and peel, which is completely removed from traditional apple juices.
Traditional apple juice eliminates the wholesome fruit parts like the skin and pulp which contain important sources of fibre and nutrients. It also use a process involving macerating and pressing the apples to extract the juice which removes any other fibre present and adding extras such as artificial flavours, artificial colours and sugar. The juice is then reconstituted, which is a juice concentrate that has been diluted with the same amount of water that was taken away during the concentration process, which further depletes the value of its natural ingredients. The end result of traditional apple juice is an overly and artificially sweet drink, with minimal nutritional value that tastes nothing like a fresh apple.
When we created our Pink Lady Upple, the entire process was driven by our desire to reduce the food waste on our Stanthorpe orchards, and to create an apple drink that didn’t lose the health benefits of our delicious Pink Lady apples. Through our patent-pending process, we take whole cored apples grown fresh in our orchard and turn them into a delicious apple drink that contains the pulp, peel and juice! This means that our Upple drink retains all of the health benefits of a whole apple, include the fibre, vitamins and antioxidants, with no added nasties like sugar or preservatives.
