What it is
Organic spinach juice is made from fresh spinach leaves that have been washed, chopped, and pressed to extract their liquid. The 'organic' designation means the spinach was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following USDA National Organic Program standards. It is a nutrient-rich liquid that retains many of the vitamins and minerals found in whole spinach.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic spinach juice primarily as a natural source of green color and as a nutritional ingredient in beverages and smoothies. It can also contribute a mild vegetal flavor. It is commonly found in fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and sometimes in yogurt or other dairy-based drinks.
Health notes
Organic spinach juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and folate. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated spinach and its components, generally considering them safe as food. No specific upper intake limits are set for spinach juice itself, but like all foods, excessive consumption should be avoided.
Allergen info
Spinach is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
