How it differs from similar foods
Juice from concentrate differs from not-from-concentrate juice because the water has been removed from the original fruit juice during processing. This concentrates the flavor and volume, making it more efficient to transport and store. Reconstituting it with water aims to replicate the taste of freshly squeezed juice.
