Cascadian Farm Organic Cranberry Juice Frozen Concentrate

Water is a neutral ingredient that serves as a base for the juice concentrate. It is essential for hydration and does not contribute calories or nutrients. In this product, it helps to dilute the concentrate to a consumable form.

Organic raw sugar is a refined sugar that contributes to the high sugar content of the product. Despite being organic, it still poses health risks associated with high sugar consumption. It lacks the nutritional benefits found in less processed sweeteners like honey or dates.

Organic cranberry juice concentrate provides the primary flavor and some nutritional benefits of cranberries. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, particularly vitamin C. The organic certification indicates fewer pesticides and synthetic fertilizers used in production.

Citric acid is a natural preservative and flavor enhancer commonly used in food products. It helps to maintain the acidity and freshness of the juice. While naturally occurring in citrus fruits, it is often industrially produced for use in foods.

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is added to enhance the nutritional profile and preserve the product. It acts as an antioxidant and helps prevent oxidation. While beneficial, its addition in processed form does not equate to the benefits of consuming whole fruits.
