Is Soursop juice as good for you as the actual fruit
1491514
I inquired at an international farmers market here in metro Atlanta, and was told it is illegal to import the raw fruit into the US.

No, the fresh fruit is better. My family had a soursop tree in the backyard and the fruit is very good. The leaves are used for tea and steam baths to help with recovery from illness because of its anti-microbial, anti-bacterial properties. It's too bad we can't grow this in the U.S. It is a tropical fruit and best eaten fresh.

It is better than most and is all natural, find that on another label of a drink. ;)

That's a great question! Fact is that I live in Colorado, and may not get the chance to try the actual fruit here otherwise. That being said, I do have a blender, a juicer, and a Bullet at home. If I did some more research, I could better answer this question completely, but I do love to add the Soursop juice into my Bullet drinks for the great flavor it adds, especially to the berry with spinach drinks. It is great by itself, but for me a bit sweet like koolaid. Using this method, I don't remove any of the fiber, or nutrients from my other fruits and veggies. Hope that helps you. Remember, I am NOT a nutritionist. I just buy the Soursop juice. That's a great question! Fact is that I live in Colorado, and may not get the chance to try the actual fruit here otherwise.

Don't know the answer to that. All I know is that the juice that I bought has zero additives so it's just the juice of the fruit. i do know that the pits are poison that is probably why they don't sell the fruit. It is vey tasty and quite sweet.

You can get the fruit in Hawaii. I lived in Honolulu for a while and picked up fresh soursop from china town and they had the juice fresh at some farmers markets.

Hi Nancy, I can only assume that the actual fruit is best, but I'm not at all sure about that. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the fruit available for purchase...just this juice. And I can only say in my opinion that it tastes good. (I can't vouch for any health benefits.)

If you haven't found the source for fresh soursop fruit.. look at http://grinrealnature.com/ they jar the fruit and ship it to your door, you can also find it on amazon if you search gfruit

A few smallish grapefruits would probably be OK, but you're going to have to work (squeezing the fruit around the juicer core). If you're doing a lot, you'll be happier with something else.

This is a very good question. I have wondered that myself. I have done very little research on this subject, but I know how my general health has improved since I have been juicing. It would make sense that the nutrients are in the juice, but not solely there. I save the pulp for recipes and I also make sure I eat whole fruits and veggies. The idea I like best about juicing is that while I may make a juice containing 5 veggies and an apple, I probably wouldn't eat all of those in one sitting. It's about adding more fresh fruits & veggies. I have lost 10 lbs so far, have great blood pressure and best of all, more energy. Most surprising to me has been the mood boost from much needed nutrients. Personally, I'm glad I started juicing. Enjoy your journey!

I am not sure about the coloring, but it said that the flavoring has real fruit juices in it.

1 tsp of this has 4g sugar alcohols. 1tsp of pure erythritol has 4g sugar alcohols. Sounds like the actual amount of monk fruit here is negligible. I call shenanigans...

Monk Fruit is a deliciously sweet super fruit, packed with healthy antioxidants and vitamins. Discovered by monks in China 800 years ago on steep forested mountain slopes. It is a superfood! It does not feed yeast and does nothing in contributing to systemic fungal infections! Erythritol is 100% pure natural sweetener, made by the fermentation process of the natural sugar found in corn. If the corn is GMO then your in the danger zone! Also, be aware of natural flavors as it is equivalent to having a food carnival in your mouth. The natural flavor additives make it difficult to stop eating or drinking! Because the flavors synthesized and trickled your mind into wanting more & more!

Great. No problem getting first rate carrot juice. Try it with some ground up ginger

I have read that myself, but never heard anyone coming down with Parkinsen disease from taking the juice. Its just like any other medication out there on the market every thing has a side affect. My cousin is doing great with the juice and she's healthy and death was knocking at her door and she is walking around alive and well. I drink sour sop tea twice a day and i never felt better You have to do your research on every thing and take that chance. Nothing has been proven about nerve damage ,i been doing my research and and i will continue on this product..I hope that helped you.

I do not know, my husband began taking the Black Cherry concentrate about 4-5 months ago for gout. He is now off the prescription medication and has no signs of gout. I asked how his knees were (little arthritis) he said his knees have also been good. I have found it to be a great replacement for sugary drinks. Its easy and great tasting. The cost is comparable to other drinks. I have always had a sweet tooth but I like this, no sugar added. We order it monthly. The cost of 6.50$ per bottle that is very reasonable with free shipping.

Fruit punch. In my personal opinion lemonade & blue raz are to bitter & sour :P

Yes, it's very red. I put it in orange juice and swig it. Its like bitter koolaid but really good for you. Best supplement I ever took that actually worked. When it's freash you can smell the fruit in your skin. It has very good absorption.

I don't know. Not worth the price though, all the fruit tastes bland. Dont waste your money

Yes. Just watch out for apple seeds. They're poisonous. No matter how you slice it (pun intended), you have to cut your fruits and veggies into sizable pieces to extract the juice. I barely use it these days though since I bought a nutribullet.

no there is pulp not a ton, but fresh is so much better than the pulp you get from grocery store juice.

Yes this is the closest to real fruit I've found. It's not like the the green bottle.

I've looked into the difference between the powder and the juice, and it says the powder is just as good as the juice. Since I've started taking it, I've seen a huge difference!

My favorite is the watermelon, but they are all good. If you like tangy and sour, try the blue raspberry or the orange. The fruit punch and watermelon are a bit sweeter.
