Aseptic means that our fruit purées are pasteurized and packed under sterile conditions, in a bacteria free environment. Our bags also are sanitized before packing.
We gather fruits from the farmers. We clean, peel and blend them to make the fruit puree. We pasteurize and pack it in aseptic bags under sterile conditions.

Yes.
It contains Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that is used to avoid oxidation of the puree. Oxidation is a reaction that takes place when purees are exposed to oxygen. This will change the color mostly turning it black if we do not put any Vitamin C on it. Although the aseptic bag protects the fruit puree, Vitamin C assures that this event won't take place. It does not contain any colorants or artificial preservatives.
We have two types of bag spouts: one with a blue or green cap and the other with a yellow cap.
In both cases, open the box, take out the aseptic bag, open the bag (see the following image) and then just pour it into the tank.
How to open the Blue or Green Spout?
The bag with the Blue or Green lid has a spout but it is only for filling purposes. The best solution for opening this type without having to cut the bag is using a heat gun. Please take care not to melt the whole spout. Once the cap loosens, remove it by a slick pull of pliers.
Yes, the bags with yellow caps are resealable. Before putting the cap on again, please make sure to remove all oxygen inside the bag. Once it's closed it must be refrigerated in the same bag for up to a week or freeze it for up to 4 months. Make sure to remove all oxygen before closing it. If the bag was cut because it has de Blue/Green Spout just tie it well avoiding contact with oxygen.
Once the bag is open, you can re-close it with the yellow cap or tie it well in case it has the Blue/Green Spout and you had to cut it. Make sure to remove all oxygen inside. Once this is done you can refrigerate it for up to one week or freeze it for up to 6 months.
Shelf life is 18 months at max 75°F without opening. No need to be frozen. After opened 5 days refrigerated in the same bag, or 6 months frozen.
