Things worth knowing
- One cup (240 ml) has about 114 kcal (477 kJ) and 24 g of sugar, and a 250 ml juice box about 121 kcal (504 kJ).
- A medium apple (182 g) has about 95 kcal and 4.4 g of fibre; a cup of juice delivers more sugar with almost none of the fibre.
- "Unsweetened" does not mean low in sugar: regular cola has about 42 kcal and 9.9 g of sugar per 100 g, very close to apple juice.
- Many apple juices have vitamin C added; this unfortified version has only 0.9 mg per 100 g, while orange juice naturally has about 50 mg.
