About Apple Juice

How to think about Fruits: Apple Juice is worth a closer look - Potassium levels vary widely across fruits - apples and berries are low-potassium, kidney-friendly picks, while bananas and avocados are high and need portion control. The natural sugar in fruit is usually not the issue; potassium is.

Nutrient insight

Potassium at 5% is the main consideration. Concentrated forms such as juice and dried fruit absorb faster; whole foods are gentler.
