Organic Broccoli & Carrots

by Mann Packing

Health Grade: A – Excellent

Category: Produce

This product is made mostly of organic broccoli and carrots, which are very healthy whole foods. However, the addition of watermelon juice concentrate and long grain rice raises concerns because of moderate processing and sugar content, which explains the F grade. The juice concentrate may affect gut health and blood sugar levels, causing some minor gut irritation and hormonal effects.
