{"product_id":"juice-cranberry-pure","title":"Lakewood Organic Pure Cranberry Juice | 100% Cranberry, Not from Concentrate, 32oz Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eLakewood Organic Pure Cranberry Juice is 100% pure, unsweetened cranberry juice, not from concentrate, with no added sugar, no added water, and no preservatives. Each 32oz glass bottle is pressed from 3 lbs. of organic cranberries. It's intensely tart, and most people dilute it or blend it rather than drinking it straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs Lakewood Pure Cranberry Juice unsweetened?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It contains one ingredient: organic cranberry juice. There is no added sugar, no cane juice, no apple or grape juice used as a sweetener, and no artificial sweeteners. The only sugars present occur naturally in the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs it made from concentrate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This juice is not from concentrate. The cranberries are pressed and bottled without being reduced to concentrate and reconstituted with water. That's why each 32oz bottle takes 3 lbs. of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does pure cranberry juice taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharply tart and astringent, closer to a raw cranberry than to the sweetened cranberry cocktail sold in most stores. Pure cranberry has none of the added sugar that makes cranberry cocktail drinkable straight, so the first sip is intense. That intensity is the point: it's what unsweetened, undiluted cranberry actually tastes like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's the difference between cranberry juice and cranberry juice cocktail?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCranberry juice cocktail is mostly water and sweetener with a minority of actual cranberry juice in it. Pure cranberry juice is cranberry juice and nothing else. That's the whole difference: cocktail is a sweetened, cranberry-flavored drink, while pure cranberry is the fruit's juice as it comes out of the press. If your reference point is the cranberry drink sold in most supermarket juice aisles, you've been drinking a sweetened beverage, not cranberry juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs \"100% juice\" the same as pure cranberry juice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily. Many products labeled \"100% juice\" are juice blends. The base is often apple or grape juice, which is cheap and naturally sweet, with a smaller share of cranberry for flavor and color. The label is truthful, since it genuinely is 100% juice with no added sugar, but most of what's in the bottle isn't cranberry. Lakewood Organic Pure Cranberry has one ingredient: organic cranberry juice. To check any bottle yourself, read the ingredient list, not the front label. If you see apple juice, grape juice, pear juice, or anything listed as \"juice concentrate,\" it's a blend. A pure juice lists one fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAKEWOOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41242308542513,"sku":"042608470021","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/1590\/5073\/files\/download_a5e8b7cb-14fb-46aa-9723-e60b17f88e92.webp?v=1792530347","url":"https:\/\/crunchydepot.com\/products\/juice-cranberry-pure","provider":"Crunchy Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
