Frequently Asked Questions

Are Bremner's juices organic?

Our juice has no added water, sugar, additives or preservatives. It is pure juice from the finest blueberries and/or cranberries grown on our farm.

Does pasteurization affect the antioxidant activity in the blueberry and cranberry juice?

Pasteurization will diminish heat sensitive vitamins such as Vitamin C, but will not affect the antioxidant compounds (such as anthocyanins) in blueberries and cranberries. Two studies on the effect of storage and processing of blueberries showed that there was actually an increase in the anthocyanin content after the blueberries were frozen and processed. (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002, 50:893-898.)

Why is the juice more expensive than other juices?

Bremner's juice costs marginally more than other juices because each bottle contains a minimum of 2 1/2 pounds of premium grade blueberries or cranberries, and nothing else. Compare our ingredients to other juices and you will find that less expensive juices usually contain added water, sugar, or other fruit juices such as apple or grape.
