The juice is extracted imme- diately upon harvesting and frozen. Donaldson says the juice contains enzymes, water soluble vita- mins, minerals and phytonutri- ents. He explains phytonutrients are "pigment related nutrients," like chlorophyll. "There's more and more research being done in these areas," he says, "and they're trying to discov- er what role they play in health." While the role isn't quite under- stood, Donaldson says researchers know it does play one. He says they're selling it as a food product that contributes to overall health and wellbeing. "We're not saying it's going to cure this or that," he says, noting that customers can draw their own conclusions about whether or not it's a benefit to them. "We would also like to regis- ter it with the newly formed Natural Health Product Directorate," LAWN QUESTIONS? &l CRI DITED -Trust the Professionals - 524-2424 Organic Programs Available InabectIVVaitt "YOUR RENOVATION AND HOME SPECIALISTSJ7 • Renovating?

"In another year or so, we might be there," he said. "But at this point it's just sold as a functional food, like any other vegetable you would purchase, only in this case it's in a juice form." He says they're currently selling the juice from their main farm just north of London and from a dealer in the Lambeth area. "The word of mouth side is slowly growing," he says. "Within the year we hope to get it in some key health food stores or some general food stores that cater to these type of products."
