What it is

Organic purple carrot juice is a vibrant liquid extracted from organically grown purple carrots. The juice is produced by washing, chopping, and pressing the carrots to release their natural color and flavor. It is often used as a natural food coloring and flavoring agent.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic purple carrot juice primarily as a natural colorant to impart a purple or reddish hue to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit juices, smoothies, yogurts, and confectionery products where a natural, plant-based color is desired.

Health notes

Organic purple carrot juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants also found in blueberries and red cabbage. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated anthocyanins and found them to be safe. Research suggests that antioxidants may play a role in overall health, but specific health benefits from typical dietary intake of purple carrot juice have not been definitively established.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Purple carrots are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and do not contain gluten.
