3. Can I freeze the juice?
Although we do not have any testing data regarding the effects of freezing our products, many customers do freeze the juice without any ill effects. We do recommend draining some juice from the carton to allow room for the juice to expand when frozen.

4. What does pasteurization mean — is it radiation?
Pasteurization is the process of heating the juice to a very high temperature for a short amount of time to kill the microbacteria. There is no radiation used in this process.

7. What is the difference between a "From Concentrate" and "Not From Concentrate" product?
The difference is how the fruit is processed. A "Not From Concentrate" product means the fruit is squeezed, the juice is pasteurized and then packaged. A "From Concentrate" product means the fruit is squeezed, the water is extracted which produces a concentrated form similar to that you see in the frozen food department, then at a later time we add the water back, the juice is pasteurized and packaged.
