Next time you enjoy a Pure Fun™ candy, you may be sipping on organic berries and apple juice! Pure Fun™ has created an organic coloring made from a blend of fruits that provide a soft red color derived from organic fruit like organic elderberries, organic blackcurrants and organic apples.
Elderberries
Elderberries have been used as a folk remedy for centuries in North America, Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. Elderberries are known for their antioxidant benefits--in 1995, elderberry juice was used to treat a flu epidemic in Panama.
They are enjoyed for their ability to boost the immune system, lowering cholesterol, improving vision, improving heart health as well as for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial, viral infections and tonsillitis.
Apples
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" proves to be more than an old wives tale. Apples are excellent detoxifiers and apple juice can help destroy viruses in the body. In a recent study at Cornell University, Riu Hai Liu, found that eating 100 grams of apple provides the same amount of antioxidant activity as taking 1,500 milligrams of Vitamin C.
Apple trees are a member of the rose family and archaeologists have found that apples have been gathered and stored for over 5,000 years; in fact, fossil findings indicate that they may even have been cultivated during Neolithic times.
Black Currants
Black currant berries are appreciated for their therapeutic value since they contain an important complex of vitamins including tannin, Vitamin C, potassium and essential oils.
During the 18th century, the abbot Bailley de Montaran, from the monastery of Dijon underlined the wonderful tonic qualities, considering the currant as being an elixir of youth. Its leaves have a great diuretic capacity; they have anti-rheumatic effects and help with the elimination of uric acids from our bodies.
