Category/Blueberry juices

From Open Food Facts wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Blueberry juices contain juice from wild or cultivated blueberries (wikipedia). EU legislation requires a minimum of 99% blueberry fraction.

The category has been subdivided in Squeezed blueberry juices, for juices that come straight from limes, and Blueberry juices from concentrate for juice that has been first dehydrated and later hydrated.

There might be a difference between the American blueberry and the European blueberry. Current products are mostly the European one.

There is often confusion in Spanish between the arándano (silvestre) and arándano rojo (the cranberry) and thus misplaced in this category.
