Can raw juice be raw if it's processed?
Posted by: nyrawfoodie ()

Hey everyone, new to these forums and writing from NYC. I was wondering if any of the experienced raw juicers out there have heard of high pressure processing (HPP). Is a juice that's made using this process still actually raw? A friend of mine told me no since the processing destroys the live enzymes that are essential to a juice being raw. Wondering what the folks around here think or know about it. Thanks!
Steve

Let me ask you a question: have you Googled this process? In any case, why would there be a need to use this process, hmm? At Whole Foods they sell fresh-squeezed orange juice. It sounds like this process helps preserve the juice somewhat...

Yes I have googled it. And from what the google and scientific evidence says, the process destroys live enzymes. However, a big national company is selling juice that they label as raw yet nowhere on the packaging do they say they use the high pressured processing. Only on their website do they say this, and they don't say anything about how HPP destroys the live enzymes. Hence the confusion on my part.
