fruit juice

Juice extracted from fruits, either by pressing (citrus fruits) or by spinning at high speed in a centrifuge (other fruits). Although fruit juice provides no fibre, its nutritional value is close to that of the whole fruit. Most fruit juices are transported in concentrated form, and are diluted and pasteurized before being packaged.

The most widely used juices are orange, apple, grapefruit, pineapple, and tomato. Concentrated juices may be used as sweeteners in cooking.
