What it is
100% fruit juice from grape is the liquid extracted from whole grapes. It is made by crushing and pressing grapes, then collecting the juice. It can be sold as freshly pressed juice or from concentrate, where water is removed and later added back.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add 100% fruit juice from grape primarily for its natural sweetness and characteristic grape flavor. It serves as a base for many beverages, including fruit juice blends, nectars, and fruit drinks. It can also be used in some food products like sauces or desserts to add fruit flavor and moisture.
Health notes
In the US, 100% fruit juice is considered a food, not a food additive, and is regulated by the FDA. It provides natural sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants. While 100% fruit juice contains natural sugars, it is distinct from 'added sugars' and is not subject to the same dietary recommendations regarding added sugar limits. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, but 100% fruit juice is not classified as an added sugar. However, it still contributes to daily calorie and sugar intake.
