What is the difference between concentrated and non-concentrated juice?!


Question:

What is the difference between concentrated and non-concentrated juice?


Answers:
Concentrated juice needs water added to it to dilute it to normal drinking consistency. Non-concentrated juice does not.

non-concentrated is 100% juice
concentrated is usually 10% juice 90% water

Concentrated juice has not had water added, you would usually make up this juice by adding water. It would taste quite dreadful if you drank it straight. I assume non-concentrated juice already has the water added and is ready to drink, but I have not seen that label on juice. Hopefully someone else has.

I believe the concentrated juice has had much of the water removed from it. Less bulk = cheaper shipping costs, less warehouse space required etc. Water is added then sold as "juice from concentrate".

Concentrate has less water in it (because they took some out)and you add water to make a drink.
100% is just squeezed oranges or fruit juice.
