This means they have pasteurized it (see: boiled). That means all the natural enzymes and growies have been killed so you get just the sugar. Great.<br><br>Honestly why not just buy baby food and refrigerate it. It's also "crushed fruit" and has the same consistency, but at least the glass jar is recyclable...

It's hard to believe that this is the most environmentally friendly packaging a "crushed fruit company" could come up with. Is the problem that more sustainable materials are heavier, and therefore embed a greater carbon footprint in their transportation? I guess my first question for a product like this would be, does the world really need this product? Canning locally grown produce in the summer months for consumption throughout the year is, in my opinion, the most sustainable and healthy way to eat fruit year round. Seriously.
