Review of 'Just Juice' 100% organic Concord Grape

Just Juice -- 100% organic Concord Grape (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: super fresh, very [naturally] sweet (no sugariness), slightly tart, and grape flavour galore! It's also very fragrant and rich in colour. This is my equivalent to an evening's glass of wine :) It's delicious. I giving my full support to this juice...well save for the fact that it's a tad high in calories for the sparse nutritional profile. But it's good to keep in mind that grape juice has many health benefits (read more about these in the description below).

Where to buy: Fortinos

So yes, there don't appear to be many nutritional benefits to this juice other than calories at first glance. But rest assured, since there's almost no fat going on and next to no sodium. Further, let's look a bit into some of the benefits of grape juice (taken from The World's Healthiest Foods):
  • Grape juice is linked to better blood sugar balance, better insulin regulation

  • Linked to cognitive benefits
