The juice itself is a dark red, and looks almost like a diluted cherry juice.
Tying in to the question and answer session above, it’s comprised of four juices from concentrate: apple, pear, grape, and tangerine, all combined to form the “fruit punch” flavor that is contained within the bottle.
NATURES NECTAR JUICE FREE
I probably bungled that explanation, so if anyone has any knowledge of this field and would like to clarify, then please feel free to correct me, and add your two cents into the comments.Īnyway, the specific 100% juice product we are looking at is actually called “100% Juice”, available under the Nature’s Nectar beverage line from Aldi. In the case of an apple, which is made up of 84% water, there only needs to be 16% of actual apple juice in a “from concentrate” product, for it to be considered 100% juice. Then, when the fruits hit their intended destination, they can be “brought back” by adding the same amount of water that was removed from them in the first place. The reason for removing the liquid in the first place has nothing to do with health benefits, and everything to do with profits: since fruits are mostly water, companies can save money by removing the water from the fruit or vegetable before shipping. In the concentration process, water is removed from the fruit, usually via heat, and then can be “brought back” by adding an amount of water equal to the amount taken out. If I understand correctly, the FDA has a method for calculating juice percentages for juices from concentrate. While you’re contemplating the answer to that question, I’ve already Googled it, and as everything else in the U.S., it’s an answer that’s more complicated than it should be. Is there so little of the other stuff that it adds up to less than 1%?
NATURES NECTAR JUICE PLUS
The answer is probably pretty obvious, and it’s to no one in particular, but I think about it every time I pick up a product that claims it is “100% juice”: How can it be 100% juice when there are other ingredients added? I understand cases where the juice is the only ingredient listed, but this, for example, has four juices from concentrate, plus natural flavors, plus citric acid and vitamin C. I have one question to ask that’s been on my mind for a while.
