Bremner's Black Cherry Juice

Our customers agree that Terry Bremner has created one of the best tasting Black Cherry Juices on the market. Whereas some Cherry Juice has a bitter after-taste, the addition of Bremner’s Blueberry Juice (20%) smooths out the flavour while adding the nutraceutical benefits of Blueberries.

• Raspberries are an excellent source of anthocyanins, the powerful anti-oxidants, which give berries their deep colors. These retard the effects of aging, prevent cancer and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

January 2007 — NEW from Bremner Foods:
Bremner's Pure Pomegranate & BluePom Juices

In January 2007 we welcomed BluePom and Pomegranate Juices to the Bremner's juice family. Like all the Bremner's juices they are 100% pure (no added sugar, water or preservatives). The Pomegranate Juice is certified organic.

Health Benefits of Pomegranates

Pomegranates are now being featured as one of the hot new "super foods" that both tastes good and is good for you. Nutritional research confirms that pomegranates contain minerals (e.g. calcium, potassium, and iron), plus compounds known as phytonutrients, that help the body protect against heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.

The powerful antioxidants in the fruit also help retard aging and can neutralize almost twice as many free radicals as red wine and seven times as many as green tea. As a further benefit, some researchers suggest that the crunchy seeds help flush fats from the digestive tract.
