NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n MARCH 2015 n GOURMET NEWS N H 7 4 BerryBreeze Heading Into NPEW as True Game Changer As gourmet and natural food trends continue to converge upon one another, consumers are looking for unique products that can enhance the value of high quality goods. It's the type of value proposition that attendees of Natural Products' Expo West look for, and Berry- Breeze™ is more than happy to offer an op- portunity to deliver exactly such a product. BerryBreeze's newly-patented innovative technology, which retails for around $49.95, involves the use of activated oxygen. In the natural world, activated oxygen-rich envi- ronments at high altitudes around the globe have produced thriving regions of all types of vegetation. Activated oxygen sanitizes and purifies the air, killing natural threats to vegetation such as molds and bacteria. What works in nature can now work in any number of food storage systems, such as refrigerators, cold-storage units and all small uninhabited areas, thanks to BerryBreeze. The hand held mechanism uses an algorithm that releases a measured amount of activated oxygen into the storage area sufficiently to create a clean, sanitized and odor-free envi- ronment. The battery-operated machine also uses a timing sequence to maintain a consis- tent level in the enclosed area. In two studies commissioned by the FDA, internationally-recognized activated oxygen experts Dee Graham and Rip Rice deter- mined that limited regular exposure to activated oxygen posed no risk to humans and enhanced the shelf-life of or- ganic materials such as fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses. Gourmet and natural food consumers are increasingly seeking foods that are untreated and unprocessed. One of the fastest growing food trends of the last few years has been juicing. By keeping fruits and vegetables fresher two to three times longer, Berry- Breeze is the ultimate companion accessory to the deluxe blender and juicing systems that are in such high demand. Customers are immediately attracted to a de- vice that allows them to get the most out of their gourmet or- ganic produce with which they make healthy and hearty bever- ages. In 2014 alone, gourmet and natural products giants Whole Foods and Bed, Bath, & Be- yond have both recognized the value Berry- Breeze offers their customers and have begun carrying BerryBreeze both online and in-store. Boutique kitchen stores and cook- ing schools across the country have also taken notice and began offering BerryBreeze to their clients and students. Typically, Amer- icans waste up to 33 million tons of produce every year, but BerryBreeze offers a means to eliminate that statistic while creating a real and positive effect towards world health and wellness by helping reduce the methane gas created from rotten food in landfills and sav- ing enough food to feed millions of hungry Americans. With a product that uses state of the art technology to extend the life of food, as well as appeal to the current trends in the gourmet and natural food sectors, BerryBreeze is heading into Natural Products' Expo West 2015 as a true game changer.
