Super Juice Packs a Punch at the Farmers Market
Squeezed from the cane, sugar was never so healthy.
Don't be fooled by the word "sugar" when it comes to Raw Cane Super Juice, a healthy form of all-natural, non-fat juice, packed with antioxidants. The special cane concoction found at Culver City's farmers market is 100 percent raw grass (much like bamboo), meaning the sugar taken from the cane is never boiled into refined sugar, so you get the sweet taste without the side effects.
In fact, the juice is a nutritious, alkalizing stew of ingredients, including chlorophyll, minerals and proteins. It only contains 15 percent natural sugars, as compared to other fruit juices that are loaded with high fructose corn syrup.
Due to its highly concentrated nutritious value, employee Elisabeth Gonzales said many people use the juice for medicinal purposes. "It's very good for ailments and sore muscles, and its also an excellent natural sweetener for people diagnosed with diabetes. Many people also drink it for its internal cleansing effects and as an energizer ... it's a little revolution against refined sugars."
