Vegetable juice is a juice
drink made primarily of
blended vegetables and
also available in the form
of powders. Vegetable juice
is often mixed with fruits
such as apples or grapes
to improve flavor. It is of-
ten touted as a low-sugar
alternative to fruit juice,
although some commercial
brands of vegetable juices
use fruit juices as sweeten-
ers, and may contain large
amounts of sodium.

JUICES
In general, vegetable
juices are recommended
as supplements to whole
vegetables, rather than as
a replacement. However,
the actual nutritional val-
ue of juices versus whole
vegetables is still contest-
ed.
