What is this food?
This is a grape fruit juice drink concentrate (sweet, grape-flavored). It’s mainly carbohydrates and sugar, with very little fat and protein.
Why it matters to health
Because it’s mostly sugar (about 61 g per 100 g) and has low fiber (about 0.4 g), it can raise your total sugar intake quickly—especially if you drink it often or in large servings. The good side: it can be a tasty way to add fruit flavor to your day, and it has a small amount of fiber and almost no fat. Since it’s a sweet drink, it’s best to treat it as a snack drink or occasional sweetener, not a replacement for water or whole fruit.
Healthier tips
- Use a smaller serving: treat it like a sweetener—start with less concentrate, then adjust to taste.
- Pair it with a filling snack: have it with nuts, yogurt, or a piece of fruit to help balance your meal/snack.
- Limit frequency: keep it for 1 snack time (or less) rather than every day.
- Choose water most of the time: aim for water between meals, especially with your 3 full meals.
- If possible, mix with extra water or add whole fruit (like grapes or berries) for better fullness.
