Quick answer
1 cup (medium) of Tomato Juice (240 g) has 41 calories. That works out to 17 calories per 100 g. It contains 9.4 g of carbs, 2.2 g of protein, 0.5 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 50.4 mg of Vitamin C covers 56% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 38 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
What is Tomato Juice?
Tomato juice is made by crushing ripe tomatoes and straining them into a smooth, opaque red drink. It can be prepared fresh at home or bought ready to drink. Its flavour is savoury with a gentle sweetness and acidity, and its texture is fuller than water without being thick like a smoothie.
Serve it chilled on its own, often at breakfast or brunch, or use it as a mixer in drinks such as a Bloody Mary. It is a low-calorie choice and provides vitamin C and potassium. For a fresher, less salty glass, choose an unsalted version or make it at home and season to taste; it pairs well with simple sandwiches and savoury snacks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tomato Juice
Is tomato juice good for you?
Yes, tomato juice can be a nutritious drink, providing vitamin C and potassium. Choose a low-sodium version, since some packaged varieties contain a lot of salt; whole tomatoes provide more fibre.
How do you make tomato juice at home?
Blend ripe, washed tomatoes until smooth, then strain the mixture if you prefer a thinner juice. Add lemon, pepper, or herbs for flavour; salt is optional, so you can leave it out.
Can tomato juice lower blood pressure?
No, tomato juice is not a treatment for high blood pressure. It contains potassium, but salty versions can work against blood-pressure control, so choose an unsalted or low-sodium option rather than relying on the drink to lower your readings.
Is it safe to drink tomato juice every day?
Yes, most people can drink tomato juice daily, especially when it is unsalted or low in sodium. If you have kidney disease, ask your healthcare team whether its potassium content fits your needs.
Does tomato juice help with a hangover?
No, tomato juice has not been shown to cure a hangover. It can contribute fluid, but it does not speed up alcohol breakdown; water, rest, and time are more useful than relying on a Bloody Mary.
Is tomato juice good for hydration?
Yes, tomato juice contributes to your fluid intake, but it does not hydrate better than water for everyday needs. Choose a low-sodium version, since excess salt can make it a less suitable thirst-quenching drink.
Is tomato juice acidic, and can it trigger heartburn?
Yes, tomato juice is acidic and can trigger heartburn or reflux symptoms in some people. If it bothers you, have it with food, reduce the amount, or avoid it rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.
How long does tomato juice last after opening?
Opened tomato juice should be kept covered in the refrigerator and used within a few days. Homemade juice spoils sooner than many packaged products; discard it if it smells off, looks unusual, or shows signs of mould.
Can you freeze tomato juice?
Yes, tomato juice freezes well. Leave room in the container for expansion, then stir the juice after thawing because its texture may separate. Thaw it in the refrigerator and do not refreeze it once thawed.
Is tomato juice a good drink before bed?
It can be, but tomato juice may aggravate nighttime heartburn because it is acidic. If you are prone to reflux, avoid it close to bedtime; otherwise, having a small glass is a matter of preference.
