Cambridge, Mass. (April 1^st, 2022) — After many months of working with our Blueberry Partner, Global Organics, Ltd is excited to be the first to bring to market “Organic Single-Berry Juice Pressings”.

Each pressing is produced from the juice of only a single berry.

While we are all familiar with single varietal wines and coffees, single-berry juicing is a totally new innovation. By not pressing thousands of pounds of fruit at the same time, we are able to fully honor the true flavor of each individual blueberry.

Each berry is picked at the peak of ripeness and rushed separately to the processing center. Upon arrival, the berry is carefully inspected, washed, cold pressed, packaged and Identity-preserved.

“We believe small-batch kombucha brewers and juice brands are crying out for this level of specificity,” states Paul Whitman, Fruit & Vegetable Category Manager, Global Organics.

Global Organics will be showcasing Single-Berry Cold Pressed Blueberry Purée at KombuchaKon on April 1^st. We hope the crowds will understand when the samples offered will be very, very small.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Dec. 06, 2021) – Global Organics is proud to recognize its longtime partner, Natíve, for becoming the first Regenerative Organic Certified™ (ROC) sugar producer. Over the last 35 years, Natíve’s Green Cane Project has reinvented cane sugar growing and processing. By focusing on soil health and biodiversity, integrating sustainability at all levels of their operation, and ensuring social fairness to farm workers, Natíve’s Green Cane Project has been long recognized as the model for sustainability.

In December 2019, The National Organic Program finalized their ruling that amends the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. The rule now dictates that certified organic flavors must be used in organic products when commercially available. What does that mean for manufacturers? Here’s a breakdown of the terminology, the ruling, its requirements and how those can be met:

Maintaining profitability for Florida sugar producers is important, and green harvesting is not a threat; in fact, research shows that as soils adapt to green-harvesting regimes, the increased nutrient cycling that occurs increases yields over time. The world’s largest organic, regenerative agricultural operation, Natíve Green Cane Project in Sao Paulo, Brazil, switched to green harvesting in the 1980s. It now maintains 20% higher yields than conventional sugarcane.

The US House released a report finding significant levels of heavy metals in some US baby foods. While this is a known issue to the industry, to date, companies have created their own strategies to provide safe baby food for US families. In August 2020, the FDA established an action level for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereals of 100 ppb (the same as current EU standard). The house subcommittee is asking the FDA to go further and establish standards.

Over the last two decades, agave syrup has become a popular alternative to sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Its pleasant and mild flavor, thin consistency, and nutrient profile make it the perfect sweetener for a wide variety of applications. Agave syrup dissolves easily in liquid and is an ideal vegan alternative to honey.

Global Organics recently introduced rice flour and rice protein to our portfolio of organic, plant-based ingredients. Our supply partner has worked very hard for years to build a sustainable project – one that fits perfectly with our beliefs about protecting the environment and treating farmers well. Our category development manager for rice, graciously provided answers to some common questions we get about rice flour and protein.

  We proudly announce that our supply partner for organic cane sugar and organic ethanol, the Native Green Cane Project, has been awarded two prestigious environmental certifications.

Organic and non-artificial sweeteners are steadily gaining popularity as ingredients in prepared foods. These include liquid sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, rice syrup, agave nectar and last but not least...coconut nectar.  Coconut nectar has a sweet, mild caramel flavor with an essence of floral, not at all coconutty.

While we are all focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is relaxing its approval process for new pesticides, among 95 other environmental roll backs by the current administration. Now that the “protect” in EPA seems to have been dismantled, consumers need to protect their own health by purchasing organic foods and demanding transparency in our food supply.
