What it is

Concord grape puree concentrate is made from Concord grapes, a variety known for its deep purple color and distinct flavor. The grapes are pressed to extract juice, which is then heated to remove water, resulting in a concentrated form. This process intensifies the grape flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to add a strong grape flavor and natural color to a variety of products. It is commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, juices, and smoothies. It can also be used in baked goods and candies to impart a grape taste.

Health notes

Concord grape puree concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, which are naturally present in grapes. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated grape-derived products. Research into the health effects of grape components is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits related to heart health and cognitive function, though more research is needed.

Allergen info

Concord grape puree concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
