What does "raw food quality" mean?
Ultra-gentle processing to preserve the best in vegetables and fruits.
What is raw food?
Raw food generally refers to a plant-based diet consisting of raw, unheated fruits and vegetables. By not heating the food, temperature-sensitive substances such as vitamins, secondary plant compounds, enzymes, chlorophyll, or unsaturated fatty acids are preserved, and their content in the food increases.

Why are I·DO juices 100% raw food quality?
Fresh I·DO organic juices are never heated or pasteurized. All important vitamins, nutrients, phytochemicals, and flavors are preserved through cold pressing. To ensure that the juices arrive safely in your refrigerator with full flavor, we use a particularly gentle method to make the products shelf-stable.
During High-Pressure Pascalization (HPP), the organic juices are subjected to a pressure of 6000 bar. This pressure destroys bacteria and germs. Vitamins and flavors are preserved. HPP is therefore considered a particularly gentle method to extend the shelf life of fresh products.
This process requires flexible packaging. Therefore, bottling truly fresh juices in glass bottles is usually not an option. You can assume that almost all juices offered in glass bottles today have been heated for preservation, which results in a loss of flavor and ingredients.
