Apple juice?

Question

how come some apple juice containers say "100% apple juice" but when i look at the ingredients it says there is water in it. dosent that mean it cant be 100% apple juice? it could be like 80% apple juice 20% water.....

Answer 1

Im not shure but does i say from "Concentrate" means they removed water or added. not shure

Answer 2

It needs water or it would be puree.Sparkling Tasmanian Apple Juice is really tasty.If it tastes good that is all that concerns me but check that no artificial ingredients or colours are included. I use it to cook other fruit as it is usually sugar free too

When it is alchoholic it is called cider.

Answer 3

theres water in apples and apple juice and they have to add extra water so its not so sweet i iguess

Answer 4

well it cant be pure apple juice can it? that wouldnt taste that good coz it would be too tangy. they have to make it taste nice to the customers or no one would get it. if u want pure apple juice make it yourself.

Answer 5

It means that the juice/flavoring used was 100% apple juice.

Answer 6

It is possible that the juice is made from concentrated apple juice.  The apple juice concentrate is made from 100% pure apples, then they add water to make it into juice.  Check the bottle for the words "From Concentrate."

Answer 7

Some apple juice has other fruit juices

included like grape or pear.

Answer 8

The ingredient listing will say "100% apple juice from concentrate" if it shows any water at all.  Are you sure it doesn't say 100% juice?  This would also allow other juices, concentrates and otherwise, to be added.

Answer 9

They can get away with saying that because technically water is already in apple juice naturally (you know, the trees suck up the rain water and it eventually gets to the apples and makes them juicy).  So TECHNICALLY it's just 100% apple juice that happens to be watery because they made it that way.
