Being lazy in the kitchen sometimes, even for a glass of
juice, makes me think of such preparation. Washing the fruits with water then with
apple cider vinegar, peeling off, chopping and juicing, are such process I could
not bear especially when my maid is off. The only choice of getting juices is from healthy food caterers or juice providers – cold-pressed juices
providers.
Why I tend to choose cold-pressed juice? Fruits and
vegetables are processed thoroughly with special juicer with blades that keep
the deliberate rotation during the process, therefore less exposure to heat,
less oxidation, so that vitamins, enzymes and other nutrition contained in
fruits and vegetables are well- preserved.
Many cold-pressed juices are offered, each with special
benefit like “no artificial sugar added”, “with diet sugar”, “no preservative”,
or optional mix of chia seeds, flax seeds, surely with prices that vary. Tried
many, but in love with one, but (…BUT….), I feel the one I am in love with, costs
more than others.
Being curious, as much as I am lucky, finally I got an
opportunity to visit the Central Production Facility (CPF) of Re.juve in
Karawaci, Tangerang, West Java. Before reaching the CPF, I visited Re.juve’s
new outlet at MaxBox Karawaci for smoothies making demo and tried some healthy
snacks like organic mix fruits and nuts and granola.

Upon the arrival at the CPF area, I was served with fresh banana,
pineapple, apple and guava, and found out that these good quality of fruits are
from their own plantation in Lampung, South Sumatera. Yes, Sunpride is under the
same group as Re.juve. As explained by
Re.juve representative on-site that the fruits are certified by one of most
leading global certification company, and have passed some types of pesticides-free
assessment.

Entering the CPF with 10 –to 14 C room temperature to ensure
the area is free from airborne bacteria or microorganism growth to maintain
products freshness and hygiene, the fruits and vegetables are going through
some process of manual brushed-out cleaning, washed with water with certain
level of chlorine that is safely consumable, rinsed with digitally-controlled 2
to 5 C drinkable and reversed-osmosis water, peeled off, chopped then juiced
with massive juicing machine to bottling process. No heat. No sugar added. No
preservatives added.
Observing the entire process, I realize how this reassures me the reason why they cannot sell their juices
with competitive price, not to mention that Re.juve juices are tasty and enjoyable,
just like Re.juve managing director Richard Anthony mentions, “Because who
likes to eat food that doesn’t taste delicious? None of us like to stay in
diet, stay hungry and consume tasteless food. Re.juve is here to deliver
goodness in customer days: Goodness in taste, goodness in health benefits.”
I must admit and thought to myself, “Pantesan, gak
murah(an)!”. With the fresh fruits and vegetables, the right process that keep
all the benefits, and delicious taste, I believe the words “Price never lies”.
