It may not be a drink, in a literal sense, but if it’s sitting in vats for months on end, the nutritional value is greatly reduced, possibly to nothingness.
Just eat a tomato that’s been sitting in your fridge for the past two months and get back to me as to how confident you are that you’ve chowed down on a some vitamins and minerals.
“It may not be a drink, in a literal sense, but if it’s sitting in vats for months on end, the nutritional value is greatly reduced, possibly to nothingness.”
That isn’t true either.
For one thing, “sitting in vats” is a statement far removed from reality. If they are storing it, you can bet it is stored in TANKS. Which are sealed. Do you actually think there are open vats of juice sitting around a warehouse somewhere for months at a time? Do you realize how silly that sounds to any thinking person?
There is a LEGAL definition of juice. You CAN NOT, by law, sell mixtures of juices and flavored water and sugar or anything else like that as “Juice”. If it says “Juice” on the label, it IS juice. Unless somebody is doing something illegal.
And as far as tomatoes go, I wouldn’t eat one right out the garden. Tomatoes make me puke. Maybe I should start a rumor that they are poisonous. (I could list the chemical compounds they contain, and scare the bejeepers out of all the non-thinking idiots running around this country.)
But if you can that tomatoe its good for a year or more...depends on the process..some whiskeys are 8 years old, cost more, been sitting in burnt barrels hidden in a cave..
