Question – What does ‘NFC’ juice mean?
Answer – NFC stands for ‘Not from Concentrate’ which means the Apricots have simply been juiced and all the skin, stones and cells of the fruit have been removed. It would be heat treated to help maintain a long shelf life. A Concentrate juice has been evaporated meaning all the water has been removed to make it easier for transportation and storage.
Question – The difference between Organic and Standard Apricot NFC Juice?
Answer – Our Organic Apricot NFC Juice is produced without the use of any pesticides, artificial fertilizers, artificial colours, or preservatives.
