Healthy stuff at Lidl's, fair price..
Recently Lidl is stocking more Bio and healthy stuff like 100% pure pomegranate and apple juice.
1/2 l of the pomegranate is 1.49 and can be found in the cooling shelves for 1.49 Euro
1 l Bio Apple juice is placed near soft drinks and below 2 Euro
Both taste nice for me and specially the pomegranate is much cheaper than the Cypriot one in tiny glass bottles...

We get the fresh orange juice from the cool shelves and it is as good as the Californian juice we get in the UK.

We make our own FRESH orange juice.
All things are possible

I've just looked at the product information on the Eviva Orange juice we buy from Lidl. It says 100% natural orange juice.

Tasted the freshly squeezed orange juice they were touting in Lidl's the other day. It was lovely. However, the only oranges that were on display were not for sale as they were being reserved for the juicer. Lidl's lost a sale there because my friend wanted fresh oranges ...

By EU-law a drink sold as "juice" must not have sugar added. You might have bought "nectar".Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 6:53 pm Some years ago we used to buy fruit juices, thinking what could be healthier...naturally squeezed fruit. Then discovered the amount of sugar that was added to them. Don't buy them any more. Don't know if this applies to the Lidl juices.

Yes there is a difference between "juice", "juice drink" and "nectar".

I was not talking about Lidl fruit juices in general as my topic was: Healthy stuff and in particular Bio Apple juice and 100% pomegranate juice. According to Glycemic Index both of these juices have a low figure which is the most important if one looks after his sugar intake.Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 6:53 pm Some years ago we used to buy fruit juices, thinking what could be healthier...naturally squeezed fruit.

The figures on the box are 10.5 g/100ml and 12g/100ml fruit sugar.
short explanation: The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of the effect carbohydrates have on blood glucose levels. Understanding the GI values of specific foods can help reduce harmful spikes in blood sugar, as sugars and carbohydrates are broken down and your metabolism releases insulin to aid in digestion. Limiting your intake of high GI foods is a first-step towards controlling your cravings, increasing energy, and weight loss.

It is not the time of the year for fresh oranges in Cyprus. Available are only "Jaffa", the latest orange in season before they go off...PW in Polemi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 7:41 am Tasted the freshly squeezed orange juice they were touting in Lidl's the other day.

So Lidl got obviously some tons offered for juice.
I prefer not to buy Cypriot oranges for juice as they are heavy treated with pesticides and not many farmers growing them organic.
