• Cub’Eaze: the juice market goes green
Juicing with fresh fruits and vegetables is a burgeoning trend, calling for ever greater pleasure, freshness, and well-being. Consumers are buying extractors, juicers or blenders so that they can make their own juice shots at home. The snacking offer seizes on this expectation, providing a wide selection of instant pressed juices prepared ahead of the customer. These drinks are riding the wave of the natural food trend. Consumers love their fresh flavours and multiple health benefits (rich in nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and more).

• Cub’Eaze: recipes go green
The Cub’Eaze range consists of 3 delightful varieties to awaken smoothies, juices and detox drinks recipes:
Mint with a hint of caraway reveals refreshing plant and pine flavours.
> It pairs well with apple, melon and red berries, as well as cucumber, courgette and artichoke.
The Nutritionist’s* opinion: “Mint is the culinary herb that contains the most polyphenols. Associated with high Vitamin E, B2, C, copper and manganese content, mint is a wonderful cocktail of antioxidants.”
Basil offers flavours of clove, delicate notes of aniseed and bergamot.
> It pairs well with red berries, citrus fruits and apricots, but also with soy, fennel and all Mediterranean vegetables.
The Nutritionist’s* opinion: “Basil is more loaded with copper and calcium than the average culinary herb. Rich in Vitamin A, B9, manganese and iron, it’s a concentrate of micronutrients.”
Parsley reveals cut grass flavours with a slight note of hazelnut.
> It pairs well with apple, lemon, and nuts, as well as tomatoes, celery and green peas.
The Nutritionist’s* opinion: “Parsley is very rich in Vitamin C and increases iron absorption, which it is also high in! Rich in Vitamin A and B9 as well as manganese, it helps cover your requirements when significant amounts are consumed regularly.”
