Review of Mott's 100% Apple Juice (from concentrate)

Mott's -- 100% Apple Juice (from concentrate) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: yay, no sugar added!...yet, so very sweet. It tastes fresh and sugary. It's a tad too sweet for me, but this just means that it would be great for kids. I'm going to recommend this specific Mott's product. But be aware that some of their products do contain the dreaded 'high fructose corn syrup'.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Metro, most large grocery stores



Ingredients: water, apple juice concentrate, ascorbic acid.

Nutrition Facts
Serving size: 240 mL
Calories: 120
Total fat: 0g
Sodium: 10mg
Potassium: 290mg
Total carbohydrate: 29g
     Sugars: 28g
Protein: 0g
Vitamin C: 120%
Iron: 4%

This is a really great option for children (and adults with a sweet tooth), as it's super sweet without any added sugars. The ingredients are simple and kept to a minimum and the nutritional profile is good. The calories are average for juice and provide more than 100% of your daily vitamin C needs.

I prefer the taste of this brand of apple juice over Oasis' Classic Apple Juice (also from concentrate) (reviewed here).
