CLERMONT, Fla. \u2013\u00a0Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic<\/a>, the nation\u2019s original organic juice company, is celebrating 15 years of creating 100 percent organic, great-tasting citrus produce and juice. To commemorate this milestone, the company has released two new delicious varieties of juice: Orange Mango and Orange Tangerine. Orange Mango and Orange Tangerine offer two more ways for people to get their daily intake of vitamin C, from a trusted organic farming family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be celebrating 15 years of furthering our family\u2019s philosophy of growing healthy and nutritious crops using organic and sustainable farming methods,\u201d said Matt McLean, CEO and founder of Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic. \u201cAt Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic, we\u2019re committed to meeting our customer demand by providing the highest-quality product and fresh-squeezed taste. We\u2019re thrilled to be adding these two new flavors to our existing line of organic juice products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic offers a fresh-squeezed taste and gourmet quality without additives, artificial flavors or preservatives. Moms can feel good about providing Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic juice for their families, because it is the highest quality juice with no added sugar or flavor packets and is a great source of essential nutrients (vitamin C, vitamin D, potassium, folate and phosphorus). The two new varieties complement the existing variety of product which includes the following juices: orange, grapefruit, apple, lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For consumers looking to juice up their day with a tangy orange-tangerine juice or the smooth velvety taste of the orange-mango blend, Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic now offers these new flavors as part of their growing product line. Both varieties are available at grocery retailers nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to being one of America\u2019s favorite beverages \u2013 consumed in nearly 70 percent of American households \u2013 orange juice is a nutritional powerhouse containing more than 100 percent of the daily value for vitamin C. Vitamin C is a nutrient known to be important to the immune system and intake of vitamin C rich foods may help support a healthy immune system. Further, published studies conclude that regular consumption of citrus may help play a role in helping to support healthy cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Moreover, research shows that organically-produced foods are also higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than their conventional counterparts. For these reasons and more, Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic juices are a tasty, convenient way to ensure that you are getting your daily dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic is a family run business with expertise that dates back four generations. Each generation of growers carried on the tradition, honing the initial growing philosophy, which advocates stewardship of the soil as the means to producing the healthiest, most nutritious crops possible. Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic believes that less toxins in the environment and less toxic residues are ultimately what is best for everybody, especially the food we consume. Their philosophy is based on the idea that building healthy soils will yield a healthier tree. The company is committed to supporting family farmers and to helping farms convert to organic and embarking on long-term, sustainable strategies to eradicate Citrus Greening Disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of their steadfast commitment to healthy living, organic farming and certainly not least of all, quality organic produce and juice, Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic has\u00a0released a comprehensive orange trends and research report. \u201cThe State of the Orange: The Power Behind the Peel\u201d<\/a>\u00a0examines the current state of the orange juice industry, and the issues at stake to keeping orange juice on America\u2019s table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the variety of health and usage benefits, juice sales have continued to decline yearly since 2007. This is in large part due to reduced supply and increased costs directly attributed to the Citrus Greening Disease epidemic. The disease has devastated Florida\u2019s citrus crops and is quickly spreading to California and Texas. The continued spread of the disease could pose serious consequences for America\u2019s favorite juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reportdetails the state of the orange juice industry, the importance of choosing organic, the benefits of orange juice, explores myths and offers usage tips and recipe suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncle Matt\u2019s Organic is a Florida-based, family-owned company offering premium quality organic citrus juices and organic produce.
