A healthy choice
Consuming juice can be beneficial for our health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is recommended to consume a total of five servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Drinking a glass of juice can help meet this recommendation in some cases.
The analysis of the OCU
The Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has carried out a study to determine which is the best supermarket juice. The analysis has taken into account different factors such as the quality of the product and its price.
The best supermarket juice
According to the OCU, the best supermarket juice is the Carrefour brand 100% squeezed orange juice, which can be found within the BIO product range. This juice has obtained the gold medal in the OCU study and has a price of €2.99/l.
Other recommended options
In addition to Carrefour orange juice, the OCU has also highlighted other supermarket juices. Among them are Alcampo peach, apple and grape juice and Alcampo orange juice.
Consumption recommendations
The OCU reminds that juice consumption must be moderate and cannot replace a piece of fruit. The sugar content of juices should be taken into account, as a single juice can contain a considerable amount of sugar. The organization recommends not exceeding 5% of daily calories in the form of free sugars.
Choose the best juice
According to the OCU, the best juices are those that are less processed and contain no additives or added sugars. Squeezed juices are considered the best option. On the other hand, juices made from concentrate and with the addition of water and sugars or sweeteners have a low nutritional value.
