Mott s 100% Tomato Juice 11.5 fl oz cans (Pack of 24)

Water is a neutral ingredient that serves as a base for the juice. It is essential for hydration but does not contribute additional nutrients. In this product, it acts as a solvent for the tomato concentrate.

Tomato concentrate is a beneficial ingredient rich in vitamins A and C, and antioxidants like lycopene. The concentration process may reduce some nutrients but enhances the availability of others like lycopene. It contributes to the nutritional value of the juice by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants.

Salt is used to enhance flavor but can contribute to high sodium intake. Excessive consumption of sodium is linked to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular risks. In processed foods, it is often added in higher amounts than necessary for preservation and taste.

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is used as a preservative to prevent oxidation. It helps maintain the color and flavor of the juice but is not present in significant amounts to provide health benefits. Its primary role in this product is to extend shelf life and maintain quality.
