2 tablespoon (medium) of Apple Juice Concentrate (40 g) has 96 calories. That works out to 240 calories per 100 g. It contains 24.4 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.1 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 65 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Apple juice concentrate is made by removing much of the water from apple juice, leaving a thick, sweet liquid with a concentrated apple flavour. It is used commercially in drinks and other foods, and at home as a sweetener in baking, sauces, yoghurt or porridge. To make a juice drink, it can be diluted with water; follow the product’s instructions, since strength can vary.
Most of its energy comes from carbohydrate, chiefly fruit sugars, while it provides very little protein or fibre. Its sweetness makes a small amount go a long way. If you want a less-sweet result, use less concentrate and balance it with tart flavours such as lemon, or pair it with plain yoghurt or oats.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Apple juice concentrate is apple juice with much of its water removed, leaving a thick, sweet liquid. It can be diluted to make a drink or used in foods as a sweetener and apple-flavoured ingredient.
Apple juice concentrate is used to sweeten drinks, sauces, desserts, and some packaged foods. Its concentrated sweetness means recipes may need less of it than regular juice, and its liquid form can affect the final texture.
Apple juice concentrate has much less water and a thicker, more intense sweetness than ordinary apple juice. Adding water turns it into a drink, while using it undiluted gives recipes a stronger apple flavour and adds liquid.
Mix apple juice concentrate with cold water and stir until evenly combined. Concentrates vary in strength, so taste as you add water rather than relying on one fixed ratio; chill the drink if you prefer it cold.
Yes, apple juice concentrate can replace some sugar in baking, but it also adds liquid and apple flavour. Reduce other liquid in the recipe as needed, and expect a softer texture and less precise results than with granulated sugar.
Not necessarily: concentrate can be made by removing water from apple juice, without adding sugar. Some products may include added sweeteners, so the ingredient list is the way to tell whether a particular concentrate has them.
Keep opened apple juice concentrate tightly covered in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon each time to reduce contamination, and follow any storage directions on its packaging if they differ.
Yes, apple juice concentrate can spoil, especially after opening. Discard it if you see mold, notice an unusual sour or yeasty smell, or find unexpected fizzing or a marked change in appearance; do not taste it to check.
Apple juice concentrate can provide some nutrients, including vitamin C, but it is rich in fruit sugars and contains very little fibre. It is not nutritionally equivalent to eating a whole apple, so use it as a sweetener rather than a fruit serving.
Apple juice concentrate can raise blood glucose because its fruit sugars are concentrated and it has little fibre. If you have diabetes, fit it into your individual meal plan and ask your doctor or dietitian for advice on portions.
