whats the difference nutritionally between concentrated and not from concentrate fruit juice?
gpt
Concentrated fruit juice started as normal juice, was somewhat dehydrated (into a thick liquid), and was later reconstituted with water. This is done because concentrate stores for longer and ships more easily. Not-from-concentrate has been in its juice form the entire time. If you have ever seen the cans/tubes of frozen juice that you add water to, that is fruit juice concentrate.

Nutritionally there shouldn't be a big difference if the final product is just concentrate + water, but some people think that re-concentrated juice tastes different or has a different texture, it is certainly more "processed" (but that's an ill-defined buzz word that doesn't necessarily mean less healthy), and it has likely had a longer shelf life.
