Review of 'Oasis' Fruits etc. (Deliciously Purple)

Oasis -- Fruits etc. (Deliciously Purple)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: Grapey, but I'm not a big grape juice fan. It's very sweet. If you're a grape fan, go for it! The brand isn't overly-impressive, but the ingredients aren't bad, so it's definitely a good choice for folks looking for lunch options for their children.

Where to buy: most grocery stores (e.g. Freshco, Sobeys, Real Canadian Superstore)



Ingredients: fruit and vegetable juice from concentrate (water, concentrated apple and/or grape (sulfites), beet, eldeberry, lemon, red bell pepper, purple carrot juices), plum purée, natural flavour.

Well, the ingredients are all fine and dandy, no harm will be done. However, the nutritional profile is pretty bleak, comprised mostly of sugars and only 25% vitamin C. I'd much rather eat the actual grapes--I find them tastier than the juice and I'd get more nutrition out of it. Still, it's one of the better boxed juices for your little ones.
