What does a government seal of purity mean to you? It means a lot to me. Especially when that seal tells me that my green formula is 100 percent U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic. You just can't get any more organic than that. Which, in turn, leads me to Anaheim, California, where I just had the chance to sample a wonderful tasting new drink call Berry Green(tm) from New Chapter at the 2004 Natural Products Expo. Berry Green is the first green formula to bear the USDA Organic label, which elevates and redefines the entire greens category. Many in the natural products industry certainly hope that other greens products will follow New Chapter's organic leadership and one day will bear the USDA organic label.
But that's not the only reason Berry Green is revolutionary. Although a green drink, Berry Green contains no cereal grasses found in most green drinks but, rather, emphasizes dark green leafy vegetables (which most Americans discard in preference for iceberg lettuce, pale slices of prematurely harvested tomatoes, and crinkle cut potatoes), as well as many varieties of berries.
Now, if you already eat lots of certified organic spinach, kale, parsley, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, green cabbage and okra, not to mention organic blueberries, cranberries, papaya, rose hips, pomegranate, grapes, cinnamon, tumeric and ginger - forget about it... You don't need Berry Green. Keep doing what you're doing because you're going to live a long healthy life.
But for the 90 percent of the rest of us whose dietary habits are not so exemplary, if you don't these foods, Berry Green is there for your health - fermented with one billion live probiotic organisms - in a sense, predigested - with only 20 calories per serving, and fewer than one percent of your daily vaule for carbs.
