What is Fizzy
Fruit?
Fizzy Fruit™ branded
sparkling fruit is
fresh fruit that has
been carbonated to
intensify that
particular fruit’s
flavor with fun and
effervescence. A
special process adds
carbonation to the
water that is
naturally contained
in fruit without
altering the
nutritional content
of the fruit. The
result is grapes,
oranges,
apples,
etc. that fizz in
your mouth. It's
similar in concept
to sparkling juice
or cider, except
it’s
not juice, it’s
sparkling
fresh
fruit!
Is carbonation
unhealthy?
Scientists have not
found any reason to
believe that
carbonation is
harmful to health.
You have probably
heard about
nutritionists
warning consumers to
avoid carbonated
soft drinks. The
concern, however, is
not the carbonation
itself but rather
the caffeine,
artificial
sweeteners, and/or
added sugars that
happen to be
contained in
carbonated soft
drinks. These
substances have been
shown in some
studies to increase
the chance of health
problems such as
tooth decay and loss
of bone density.
(Remember, Fizzy
Fruit does not have
these additives!)
The carbonation
itself is safe. For

Why carbonate
fruit?
Because it is a
delicious new way to
enjoy wholesome
fruit. Also, and
perhaps more
importantly
there are kids who
do not like to eat
fruit; and we
believe Fizzy Fruit
is a fun and
innovative way to
motivate children to
try fruit,
especially in place
of less nutritious
alternatives such as
soda or candy.
Curious by nature,
children generally
seem to be drawn to
the novel sensation
of Fizzy Fruit.
Are there any
chemicals or
preservatives added
to Fizzy Fruit?
Fizzy Fruit is
simply fresh fruit
with carbonation
added. There are no
other ingredients.
There are no
preservatives or
added sugars. Also,
there are no
artificial
sweeteners, flavors,
or colors.
How does carbonation
affect the
nutritional value?
While some of the
vitamin content of
regular fresh fruit
falls off rapidly
with storage and
ripening, our
testing (and the
opinion of other
experts)
indicates that
carbonation itself
does not harm the
nutritive value of
fresh fruit (which
also includes fiber
and other
antioxidants).
The Fizzy Fruit
Sparkling Grapes are
split open and
bubbling? Is this
normal? Are the
grapes going bad? It is
perfectly normal for
you to see grapes
bubbling and
splitting. In fact,
this is one of the
coolest and most
unique aspects of
Fizzy Fruit! Unlike
regular fruit, Fizzy
Fruit comes to life
as soon as you open
the cup. Pull back
the lid and you’ll
hear the hissing
sound of bubbles
being released from
the skin of the
fruit. Grapes that
are split open have
not gone bad. They
are safe and healthy
to enjoy. Pop a
grape in your mouth
and enjoy the tingly
experience as the
fruit dances on your
tongue.
