Sunraysia Beetroot and Apple Juice

Sunraysia Beetroot and Apple Juice

One of Australia's greatest loves is beetroot. The bright purple vegetable is a culinary staple featuring on hamburgers, salads and rolls, but what many Aussies may not realise is that beetroots can not only do wonders for your sandwich, but also your body.

Beetroot has a role to play in lowering blood pressure, with research suggesting that drinking a glass of beetroot juice a day can substantially reduce blood pressure.

According to the Heart Foundation high blood pressure can strain the heart, and reducing blood pressure is one key way to help reduce the risk of heart disease - the leading cause of death in Australian men and women.

Beetroot has great natural benefits, but as many have found out the hard way juicing a beetroot is no easy task and the bright purple juice can make a kitchen bench look more like a watercolour painting.

Bringing the goodness of beetroots to Australian supermarkets for the first time, Australian specialty juice company The Sunraysia Natural Beverage Company is introducing its Beetroot & Apple juice with no added sugar or sweeteners and made entirely from Australian-grown beetroots and apples.

Sunraysia's Beetroot & Apple juice contains 75 per cent beetroot juice perfectly blended with apple juice for a lighter, fruity flavour, making it a convenient way to get beetroot juice without the hassles of home juicing.

"Women especially are realising that taking care of their hearts and cardiovascular systems will help them to feel great, and heart health is gaining broader awareness. Sunraysia is proud to be helping take care of Australian hearts," said Justin Presser, Group Managing Director of The Sunraysia Natural Beverage Company.

Available in 750mL glass bottles, Sunraysia Beetroot & Apple juice contains 100% natural ingredients with no preservatives, no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. It is best enjoyed chilled, straight from the fridge.

Review: Honestly, I was intrigued yet, slightly worried about trying Sunraysia Beetroot and Apple Juice but it certainly surprised me!

Yes, it does taste very much like your drinking vegetables, which is rather odd but the savoury yet sweet mixture of the juice is unbelievably soothing.

Not only does the Sunraysia Beetroot and Apple Juice quench thirst it is interesting and has no aftertaste! Good for you, easy to drink and delicious, well why wouldn't you?

Sunraysia's Beetroot & Apple juice is now available on the shelf in the juice aisle at Woolworths and in February will appear at Coles and selected independent retailers in metropolitan and regional locations around Australia at the recommended retail price of $4.99 for a 750ml bottle.
