täysmehu

Täysmehu is a Finnish term that translates to "100% juice" in English. It specifically refers to fruit or vegetable juice that contains only the natural liquid pressed from the fruit or vegetable, with no added sugars, water, or artificial ingredients. This means that the product is made entirely from the original source material, retaining its natural flavor, vitamins, and minerals.

The term is used to distinguish pure juices from other types of beverages that may be labeled as juice but contain added components. For example, fruit drinks, nectar, or diluted juices are not considered täysmehu because they have undergone additional processing or have had ingredients other than the original fruit or vegetable added. The emphasis on "100%" highlights the unadulterated nature of the product.

In Finland, regulations typically govern the labeling of juice products to ensure clarity for consumers. Products labeled as täysmehu must adhere to strict standards regarding their composition. This designation is important for consumers seeking to consume juice in its most natural form, without added sweeteners or diluents, and who are interested in the nutritional benefits derived directly from the fruit or vegetable. It is a straightforward and descriptive term used in the context of food and beverage labeling in Finland.
