Is Himalayan Berry Vegan?
Short answer: yes. Both Raspberry Rush and Peach Charm are vegan. There's nothing from an animal in either can, and nothing is processed with animal products.
Going through the label
Most of what's in the can is obviously plant-based: carbonated water, apple juice, lemon juice, ginger juice (in Peach Charm), mint extract (in Raspberry Rush) and pink salt.
The rest are the bits people usually ask about:
- Stevia (steviol glycosides) comes from the leaves of the stevia plant. It's what sweetens both flavours.
- Sucralose, in Raspberry Rush only, is a sweetener made from sugar. No animal products are involved.
- Fructo-oligosaccharides are a soluble fibre that comes from plants.
- Xanthan gum is made by fermenting sugar. It gives the drink a smoother body.
- Citric acid, malic acid, sodium citrate and ascorbic acid keep the taste bright and the drink stable.
- Sodium benzoate is a common preservative.
- Raspberry, peach and vanilla flavourings are free of animal products.
Gluten-free and non-GMO too
Neither flavour contains gluten, and both are non-GMO. Both have 0g added sugar and no caffeine.
Good with
- A plate of hummus and pita at a weekend brunch
- Spicy chaat, where the fizz helps with the heat
- A movie night with masala popcorn
Try both with the Berry Duo: 3 cans of Raspberry Rush and 3 cans of Peach Charm, delivered free across India.
