What it is

Concord grape juice is made from Concord grapes, a dark purple variety native to North America. The grapes are typically pressed to extract their juice, which is then often pasteurized for preservation. It has a distinctively sweet and tart flavor.

Why it's used

Concord grape juice is used as a flavoring and coloring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its sweet and fruity profile makes it a popular choice for jams, jellies, fruit spreads, and beverages like grape juice drinks and nectars. It can also be used in baked goods and candies.

Health notes

Concord grape juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars and is a source of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins. JECFA has evaluated Concord grape juice and has not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Research suggests potential cardiovascular benefits associated with moderate consumption, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.
