Hedelmäjuoma

Hedelmäjuoma is a Finnish term that translates to "fruit drink." It is a broad category encompassing beverages made from fruit juice, often diluted with water and sweetened. The sugar content can vary significantly, and some fruit drinks may contain added vitamins or other ingredients.

In Finland, hedelmäjuoma is a popular choice for consumers of all ages. It is readily available in most stores and supermarkets, offered in a wide array of flavors derived from common fruits like apple, orange, berry, and tropical fruits. The term can sometimes refer to beverages that are not 100% fruit juice, distinguishing them from pure juices which are typically labeled as "täysmehu" or "100% mehu."

The composition of hedelmäjuoma can differ. Some products might be primarily fruit juice concentrate mixed with water, while others may contain a smaller percentage of actual fruit juice along with flavorings, colorings, and sweeteners like sugar or artificial sweeteners. Nutritional content varies greatly depending on the specific product and its fruit juice percentage. It is often consumed as a refreshing beverage, a mixer, or as an alternative to water or milk.
