Dried Grape Juice

Dried grape juice is made from grapes that have been dehydrated to remove most of their water content. This process concentrates the natural sugars and flavors of the grape. It is often used in powdered or concentrated liquid forms.

Dried grape juice is primarily used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods. Its concentrated sweetness makes it a useful ingredient in chewing gum, mints, and some baked goods. It can also contribute a mild fruity note.

Dried grape juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like all concentrated sugars, excessive intake could contribute to health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated grape juice products, but no specific numeric limits for dried grape juice are widely cited.
