There are three companies leading the niche market of pure cranberry juice. When you’re in your local grocery store or searching online for a brand name that sells pure cranberry juice these three companies are your best best. They all produce and sell pure cranberry juice, which is also commonly referred to as “real” or “raw” cranberry juice.
- Lakewood Juices
- Ocean Spray
- R.W. Knudsen
Grocery stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s also sell store-branded pure cranberry juices. Products at both stores are 100% cranberry juice with no sugar added, no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
Lakewood Juices and RW Knudsen have been selling pure cranberry juice for a while. Both brands sell pure cranberry in beautiful glass bottles. While this container strategy really embraces the farmhouse look and feel it does add a noticeable amount of weight to your grocery bag. If you’re stocking up for the week be mindful and double bag your groceries.
Ocean Spray is newer to the game with its pure cranberry juice product. As the largest producer of cranberries in America they have the resources to be competitive in this small and ever so tart marketplace.
All three brands sell pure cranberry juice online and in grocery stores across America. The pure cranberry products from all three brands are self stable, which means they’re typically found in a center aisle of the grocery store. Since these juice products don’t need to be refrigerated you won’t find them next to orange juice or milk when looking in the refrigerated beverage section.
