What it is

Rhubarb juice concentrate is made from the juice of rhubarb stalks, a plant known for its tart flavor. The juice is concentrated to remove water, intensifying its color and flavor for use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rhubarb juice concentrate primarily for its tart flavor and natural red color. It is often found in frozen desserts, beverages, and fruit preparations where a fruity, tangy note is desired.

Health notes

Rhubarb juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rhubarb and its components. At typical consumption levels in foods, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Some rhubarb varieties contain oxalates, which can be a concern in very large quantities, but this is not typically an issue with processed concentrates.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Rhubarb is a plant and does not contain gluten.
