Concord Grape Juice Concentrate (32 oz)

Concord Grape in your everyday routine

Make a familiar flavor part of your routine

Concord grape is an approachable choice if you enjoy a naturally sweet fruit flavor. Mix one labeled serving after a meal and adjust the water to taste. A lighter glass still contains the same serving when you keep the concentrate measure consistent.

Try a sparkling version

Plain sparkling water gives a grape drink a different feel without requiring a sweetened mixer. Add it slowly to the measured concentrate, stir gently, and taste before adding any other ingredients. The Recipes tab includes an approximately 8 fl oz drink with one labeled serving.

Explore the grape’s plant compounds

Concord grapes are discussed in research on anthocyanins and other polyphenols. Our polyphenol guide explains these compound families, while the Research tab gives a starting point for learning about grape-specific questions.

Ingredients and careful handling

Ingredients: 100% concord grape juice concentrate.

This is a single-ingredient juice concentrate. No sugar or filler juice is added. Naturally occurring sugars remain in the concentrate, so no added sugar does not mean sugar-free. Refer to the current Nutrition Facts for the labeled serving and nutritional amounts.

How FruitFast handles the concentrate

• The concentrate is pasteurized by our supplier before FruitFast bottling.
• FruitFast cold-fills it without reheating.
• Bottles are nitrogen-flushed and kept refrigerated until shipment.
• Refrigerate or freeze after arrival, and keep opened concentrate refrigerated and tightly closed.

The product specification is 65° Brix. Brix describes soluble solids in the concentrate, including naturally occurring sugars and other dissolved components. Learn what Brix measures or read more about FruitFast processing and quality.

Natural settling can occur. Shake before measuring and use a clean utensil for each serving. The packaging guide explains the bottles used for FruitFast juice concentrates.

Understanding concord grape research

Concord grapes contain anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, proanthocyanidins, and other polyphenols. Anthocyanins are associated with many red, blue, and purple plant colors. Proanthocyanidins are a different flavonoid group, despite the similar name.

Grape research spans juice, whole grapes, skins, seeds, and extracts. Each provides a different way to explore grape chemistry. Resveratrol also appears in discussions of grapes and plant compounds, but it is one compound among many rather than a complete description of a grape food.

Explore the relevant compounds

• Grape pigments and anthocyanins
• Grape polyphenols in context
• What resveratrol is

A helpful starting point is learning the difference between the fruit, its juice, and individual compounds discussed in the literature. The linked guides explain food sources, compound families, processing, and research methods so those terms are easier to understand.

Explore more in the Fruit Compound Library. Research findings depend on the preparation, dose, and population studied and do not establish the same outcome from this finished concentrate.

Suggested use and mixing

Take one labeled serving daily after a meal: 1 fl oz (2 Tbsp / approximately 30 mL). Choose the time that fits your routine, whether that is after breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

1. Shake the bottle before measuring.
2. Measure 2 Tbsp concentrate with a tablespoon or liquid measure.
3. Add 7 fl oz cold water for a classic 1:7 mix.
4. Stir, taste, and add more water for a lighter drink.
5. Close the bottle and return it to cold storage.

This 32 fl oz bottle provides 32 labeled servings. At one serving daily, that is 32 days of concentrate. At a 1:7 concentrate-to-water ratio, the whole bottle makes approximately 2 US gallons of mixed beverage. A serving count is a measure of concentrate, not a promise of that many 8 fl oz drinks.

For a lighter drink, keep the 1 fl oz concentrate serving and increase the water to 9–11 fl oz. Using the concentrate in food also counts toward the amount measured; a shared recipe divides that amount among its portions. See our mixing guide and storage guide for more detail.

Four ways to use concord grape concentrate

These are starting recipes, so adjust water and other ingredients to taste. One labeled serving is 2 Tbsp concentrate. When a recipe is shared, its concentrate is divided among the portions. Enjoy your daily serving after a meal.

1. A simple after-meal refresher

Measure 2 Tbsp concentrate into a glass and stir in 7 fl oz cold water. Add ice if desired. Makes approximately 8 fl oz before ice and contains one labeled serving. For a lighter taste, add more water while keeping the same concentrate measure.

2. A sparkling fruit drink

Pour 2 Tbsp concentrate into a glass. Slowly add 7 fl oz plain sparkling water, stir gently, and add ice. This approximately 8 fl oz drink contains one labeled serving of concentrate. A citrus slice or a few mint leaves can change the flavor without requiring another concentrated ingredient.

3. A fruit smoothie

Blend 2 Tbsp concentrate with 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and 3/4 cup cold water. Add ice if desired and blend until smooth. The other fruit provides texture while the concentrate brings Concord grape flavor. Makes one smoothie containing one labeled serving of concentrate.

4. Concord grape vinaigrette

Whisk 2 Tbsp concentrate with 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 4 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Taste and season, then spoon over a green or grain salad. The whole batch contains one labeled serving of grape concentrate, shared among its portions. Refrigerate promptly.
