Question 1

Can it be drank by itself like lemonade?

Accepted Answer

This isn't lemonade - it's lemon juice. I wouldn't drink it straight unless you like drinking lemon juice straight.  Add water and sweetener, and you'll have a great lemonade.  I do all the time.

Question 2

Are these glass bottles?

Accepted Answer

yes they are all glass--no matter what size 12 oz and 32 oz

Question 3

Where are these lemons grown?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing facility is located in Florida (1035 NW 21st Terrace, Miami, FL 33127; http://www.lakewoodjuices.com), so most likely lemon grown in Florida,though they did not mention on bottle. Organic Certified by USDA Organic Program.

Question 4

Is this pasteurized?  Doesn't that kill the natural enzymes in the juice?

Accepted Answer

- Lakewood Juices do not contain preservatives. 
All Lakewood Juices are Pasteurized and Vacuum Safety Sealed in glass bottles. Pasteurization is a process that destroys potentially harmful microorganisms that can cause foodborne illnesses. Lakewood’s State-of-the Art bottling system produces juices that are safe and pose no health concerns for consumers.
Lakewood issues this statement in response to the request for information on the extent to which the pasteurization process of juices can be expected to cause a loss of nutrients in bottled juices. Please note that this discussion is extended to the topic of modern continuous flow pasteurization systems, not the traditional and outdated systems of heat application through "vat pasteurization" or "cooking".  All Lakewood Juices are pasteurized- Lakewood Juices do not contain preservatives.

The information provided herein is based upon the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department at the University of Florida, The “Handbook of Beverage Packaging” by Giles, “Citrus Processing” by Kimball and “Beverage Quality and Safety” by Foster and Vasavada.
At Lakewood we use a state-of-the-art system for shelf stable, Vacuum Safety Sealed, glass bottled juices. Fruit and vegetable juices contain a wide range of Micro-Nutrients including Vitamins, Minerals and Amino Acids. The only nutrient that is sensitive to pasteurization is Vitamin C.  Pasteurization will cause no more than a 10% loss in Vitamin C.  Note: A typical serving of fruit juice containing Vitamin C provides a substantial amount toward the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C. Therefore, a 10% loss of Vitamin C is of extremely minimal consequence while the benefits of pasteurization are substantial. 
Also note: The Nutrition Information stated on the bottle label is based upon analysis of the juice after pasteurization.
