Rugani 100% Green Juice

Posted May 6, 2020

The Rugani 100% Green Juice is a powerful juice containing superfood ingredients such as fresh cucumber, pineapple, celery, ginger and moringa. This juice is a perfect combination of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients & anti-oxidants to support good health.

Why these ingredients?

We wanted to produce a green juice that would be a powerful immune booster and that would support healthy detoxification, weight loss and overall health. After much research, we intentionally selected the following ingredients to achieve this super juice:

Cucumbers are ideal for promoting vital hydration which is necessary for the proper functioning of body cells. This veggie also naturally aids in weight loss while providing vitamins (K, A, B and C) and minerals (copper, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus) that assist in bone health, as well as skin, heart and brain health.
Pineapples are a rich source of vitamin C, which helps keep your immune system healthy and strong. Vitamin C also aids in the absorption of iron from your daily diet. Another powerful vitamin that pineapples contain is thiamine, which helps with energy production. The antioxidants that are present in this fruit assist with reducing the risk of some chronic diseases such as certain cancers, heart disease and diabetes.
Celery is a great source of fibre which is essential for digestion. It also contains phytonutrients which help reduce inflammation of cells, blood vessels, joints, organs and the digestive tract. Like cucumbers, this veggie assists in hydration and can act as a neutraliser towards acidic foods.
Ginger root is a potent superfood acting as an antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory due to its active component, gingerol. Ginger assists in reducing muscle pain caused by exercise and osteoarthritis symptoms. This root helps with alleviating nausea and is also used to treat chronic indigestion.
Moringa is a century-old plant used for its medicinal, antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant & anti-inflammatory properties. Moringa leaves contain protein, vitamin B6 & C, iron and riboflavin as well as antioxidants that can increase the blood antioxidant level.

Why not juice fresh produce at home?

Our ground-breaking extraction process ruptures plant cells, making the nutrients more bio-available than eating raw veggies and fruits. The innovative Rugani juicing process ruptures 95% of plant cells (compared to about 50% in a good home juicer), making the full nutritional benefits of any veggie or fruit more bio-available to your body. Our unique agro-processing setup, which means that the juicing facility is situated on the farm where produce is grown, allows the fresh produce to be harvested in the morning, immediately transferred to the root extraction facility, bottled and sealed on the same day!

In summary, we juice the fresh produce a few hours after harvesting to capture the valuable, and usually difficult-to-access, nutrients. This means our juice is fresher than juicing your own at home, as the fresh produce you would usually buy from the store is often already a few days or weeks old.

How does the juice achieve a 12-month shelf-life?

The answer is simple, a world-first production process. Our unique process captures that remarkable freshness in aseptic, long-life packaging which acts as a time-capsule. As a result, the juice can be stored, unopened and at ambient temperature, for 12 months with no preservatives. This makes consuming health beverages more convenient than ever before.
