Is there any refined or added sweetners in juice concentrate?
Answer Hello Jeanette! Thank you for the great nutrition question. There is a juice called “Xango” on my website which is made from pure concentrate and no add sugars. Just visit www.dietitian/mymagicwand.com Drinks made from concentrate don’t contain added sugars. In fact from the start, before anything else has been used to enhance the beverage, contain water added to the concentrate just to bring it back to “juice” status. If no more water is added, the label will read “100% juice from concentrate,” but in the ingredient list, the first entry will be water. In reality, your “100% juice” is maybe 90% water, but so’s the juice of an orange on the tree. I just thought you may also like to know that any drink can call itself juice as long as it has some amount of fruit juice (by FDA definition) greater than 0%. But the maker must fess up to exactly what percent of the finished beverage is juice. Take Evelyn’s label from Langers Raspberry Cranberry Juice Cocktail in a Blend of Two Other
