Been meaning to do this for a while, but fear kept me from it...
Aojiru is commonly made from kale, a cabbage like plant that is supposedly full of minerals, vitiamins and other things that your body probably never gets. In fact my box, which is 100% kale and called 'super aojiru' tells me that one glass has the carotene of 3 tomatoes, the vitamin C of 6 oranges, the potassium of 6 green peppers and the calcium of a glass of milk. Sounds nice but do I really need, or even care about the potassium of 6 green peppers?
Aojiru looks like green paint, smells like death and tastes like broccoli. And that's me being polite. The only thing aojiru has going for it are it's (apparently) insane health benefits. It supposedly does things like cure cancer, pneumonia and kidney infections, reduces stress, body weight, thins the blood, helps you live forever, etc.
My box costs 400 yen and comes with three frozen packs. I'm tempted to drink a glass everyday for a month to see what kind of changes come about, if only I can suppress my gag reflex. I think I'd rather eat the 3 tomatoes, 6 oranges and 6 green peppers.
