100% fruit juices are nutritious beverages that have been enjoyed by adults and children for decades. 100% fruit juices can play an important role in a healthy diet because they offer great taste and a variety of nutrients found naturally in fruits. These juices are fat-free, nutrient-dense beverages that are rich in vitamins, minerals and naturally occurring phytonutrients that contribute to good health.

100% juices are a convenient way for adults and children to get a part of their recommended 4-1/2 or more cups of fruits and vegetables each day. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consumption of several cups per day of fruits and vegetables, and acknowledge the role that 100% juices can play as part of this fruit and vegetable allowance. According to the new USDA MyPyramid food guidance program, there are portion sizes and recommended amounts of 100% juice for children and adults, depending on one’s age, gender, and level of physical activity.
