Carrot Nectar

by Square

A heavily sweetened carrot drink that contains more added sugar than actual carrot nutrition. Despite the healthy vegetable base, the high sugar content makes this essentially a sugary beverage with minimal health benefits.

• Water – safe · Primary liquid base for the beverage, neutral and necessary component.
• Carrot Puree – beneficial · Processed carrots providing beta-carotene, vitamins, and minerals, though concentration may be limited.
• Sugar – controversial · Added refined sugar that significantly increases caloric content and blood sugar impact with no nutritional value.
• Glucose-Fructose Syrup – controversial · Processed liquid sweetener similar to high fructose corn syrup, linked to metabolic dysfunction and liver stress when consumed regularly.
• Citric Acid – safe · Natural acidity regulator that helps preserve the product and enhance flavor, generally recognized as safe.
