About Fruit nectar

Fruit nectar is a beverage made with fruit juice or purée diluted with water; sweetener or other ingredients may also be included. It is distinct from undiluted juice, but the fruit content and recipe vary by fruit and product, and are not specified by this general name.

Nectar is usually pourable and may be cloudy or pulpy, with a fruit flavour that can be less intense than that of undiluted juice. It is sold in bottles, cartons or cans, and may be made from one fruit or a blend.
