Japanese multinational drinks company ITO EN launched a pair of premium vegetable beverages with savory flavor profiles and texture-rich inclusions. These two new beverages are sold in SIG SmileSmall carton packs with SIG Drinksplus technology and offer a different experience than typical ready-to-drink fruit smoothies and juices, and even other blended vegetable beverages. Crunchy Smoothie is loaded with carrot pieces and Crispy Potage combines the creaminess of blended tomato with onion bits.
