More Health and Nutrition Information

Virtually every major health organization, from the National Institutes of Health, to the American Cancer Society to the American Heart Association, recommends consumption of at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. The United States Department of Agriculture Food Pyramid emphasizes grains, fruits and vegetables as key foods that should be eaten daily.

Welch's 100% Grape Juice fits well into the movement toward healthy eating habits. Not only do six ounces of grape juice count as one serving of fruit, but studies from the United States Department of Agriculture found that Welch's Purple 100% Grape Juice has three times the antioxidants of other popular juices, including orange and grapefruit and more antioxidants than any of the forty-two different fruits and vegetables tested.

Just one serving of Welch's 100% Grape Juice, Purple or White, gives you 100% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. And Welch's is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and has plenty of carbohydrates.

But the most exciting news comes from preliminary medical research, which suggests that:

Welch’s Purple 100% Grape Juice may help maintain cardiovascular health when consumed as part of a balanced diet; and

Welch’s White 100% Grape Juice is the right choice for a child's first juice because it is easier for babies and toddlers to digest than apple juice.
