In a world where mindful health choices are gaining prominence, the question of whether organic fruit juices are a genuine health boost or just a pricey trend looms large. Ernany Jasmin, the visionary Founder and Managing Director of WOLF + WALD, a notable juice brand originating from Germany but making significant waves in Singapore, brings a wealth of insights to the table.
With a background as a former nurse and a fervor for running, she deeply understands the significance of a balanced diet. WOLF + WALD’s inception stemmed from Ernany’s personal journey, seeking solace through food, evolving into a beacon of organic goodness. Now available in 16 Singaporean supermarkets, these juices are crafted from the harvests of Germany’s family-run orchards. Let’s delve into the essence of these juices and decipher the reality of organic goodness.
Debunking the Myths
1. Organic fruit juices are just overpriced fads.
Ernany Jasmin staunchly rebuts this misconception. While it’s true that 100% organic options may come at a slightly higher price point, they offer a nutritional powerhouse. These juices are free from dilution with concentrates and sugars, ensuring that each sip delivers abundant nutrients. It’s crucial to be discerning with labels like “punch,” “beverage,” “nectar,” or “cocktail,” as they often disguise drinks with minimal actual fruit juice content. On the other hand, authentic organic juices are devoid of flavour additives and do not necessitate excessive consumption. With WOLF + WALD’s 100% organic juices, as little as 20 to 50 ml can kickstart your day with a boost of antioxidants. Moreover, you can easily dilute these juices with water for a quick, kid-friendly refreshment.
2. Juices are full of sugar. That’s clearly bad for our health!
Not every juice is guilty of this sin. Fruit juices inherently offer nutritional value, and studies indicate that consuming no more than five ounces (148 ml) a day is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. WOLF + WALD’s commitment to natural fructose and the absence of artificial additives aligns with a health-conscious lifestyle. A mere 20 to 50 ml shot of their juice delivers a powerful antioxidant boost without the downsides of excessive sugar intake.
3. Juices lose their nutrients. Why shouldn’t I just eat the fruits fresh?
Convenience meets nutrition with WOLF + WALD’s cold-pressed method. While fresh fruits are fantastic, the efficiency of juicing is unmatched, especially with a hectic lifestyle. My hectic schedule often makes enjoying a full plate of fruits and vegetables challenging, but WOLF + WALD’s cold-pressed juices offer a convenient and nutritious alternative.
