Welch, the United States, has announced to sell its Concord grape juice concentrate on the European mainland for the first time, giving beverage companies the chance to harness its one-of-a-kind taste and natural plant nutrient content to produce innovative products consumers will love. Under an exclusive distribution agreement with Wild Juice, Netherlands, Concord grape juice concentrate will be available for companies across the EMEA region to use in branded and private label beverages.
The Concord grape is a plant nutrient powerhouse and its 100% juice has more polyphenols than many other commonly consumed juices. Concord grape juice has a greater concentration of polyphenols than several ‘superfuit’ juices. According to a study, Concord grape juice delivers 13% more polyphenols than blueberry juice, 24% more than acai juice and 53% more than cranberry juice.
Research suggests that certain polyphenols may play a role in supporting a healthy heart, and the polyphenols in Concord grape juice are no exception. In fact, Concord grape juice delivers many of the same polyphenols – and many of the same heart-health benefits – as red wine. Nearly 20 years of research shows that Concord grape juice helps support a healthy heart. Additionally, a new study suggests that one way in which Concord grapes and grape juice may support a healthy heart is by promoting healthy circulation.
