Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc. is launching a new sparkling spring water under the Natural Grocers brand. The new drinks arrive in 16-ounce and 25.3-ounce bottles with 100% unprocessed water inside. This means that the nutritious electrolytes and minerals found in the spring have been preserved and bottled without additional additives.
"As with our original Spring Water, all electrolytes and minerals are natural from the springs. The water is unprocessed and bottled without additional additives. Our Sparkling Spring Water's naturally occurring minerals and electrolytes are maintained throughout the production process — including the injection of CO2, homogenization, and bottling," said Raquel Isely, VP of Marketing at Natural Grocers.
The Natural Grocers brand is also planning to launch additional items, including organic eggs and free-range eggs.
