Fizzy Fruit: Will it Pop or Fizzle?

by Diane Lofshult

Food for Thought:

Even as dietitians are urging kids to give up soft drinks, another group of researchers is waiting in the wings with a replacement carbonated product called Fizzy Fruit^™. Created by scientists at Oregon State University, the product is essentially fruit, such as apples and pears, that has been carbonated. According to the company’s website, Fizzy Fruits will soon be available in a store, school, movie theater or grocery store near you.
