Misti

Emblazoned prominently on the label is the declaration that bottles of MISTI are not just sodas, they are “Health Conscious Sparkling Beverages.” The mainstay is flavored with Peruvian pur-ple corn, which positively bulge with at least six different phenolics and anthocyanin antioxidants, according to their website. There is also lime with royal camu camu, a red-purple cherry-like fruit the size of a large grape, which has about 30 times more vitamin C than oranges. And then there is strawberry with royal maca, a high-altitude root vegetable used by the Inca “to increase endurance, mental clarity, fertility and sexual ability.” Of course, a disclaimer states that these products have not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration, so don’t throw away your Viagra. So far, available only at Whole Foods and the Wintertime Market in Pawtucket. | 2239 Mineral Spring Avenue, Centredale | misticorporation.com
