What it is
This is a beverage made from fruit juice that has had water removed and then re-added. The process of concentrating the juice helps preserve it for longer periods and makes it easier to transport.

Juice from concentrate differs from not-from-concentrate juice in its processing. The removal and re-addition of water alter the texture and sometimes the intensity of the flavor. Not-from-concentrate juice is generally considered to retain more of the original fruit's fresh taste and aroma.
