Onion juice anyone?(MARKET WATCH)(from Hyundai Farming Union Corp )(Brief Article)

Food Engineering & Ingredients, April, 2005

We have reported on a number of unusual flavour combinations for beverages, and some even more unusual fruit- and vegetable-based juices, but none quite so likely to make eyes water as Dietary Onion Fiber Juice from Hyundai Farming Union Corp in South Korea. Unsurprisingly, the drink is marketed as a health product, and not only contains onion juice but also dietary fibre and pear juice, to help support child growth, promote female skin beauty, ease hangovers, prevent constipation, and serve as a post-surgery treatment. It is packaged in a 185 ml bottle priced at around [euro]1.15.
