Concentrate

So, I am in the early process of doing a Whole 30. I am really trying to do the very best I can not to eat anything that is resticted. There have been a few foods that I have found that seem to be on plan except they say things like "apple concentrate or orange concentrate" on the ingredients list. Maybe this is a stupid question, but does "concentrate" mean that there is extra sugar or not? Usually I am seeing these in organic stores because I won't even go over to the packaged section if I am in a regular grocery store. Help me out here guys, I don't want to unknowingly make a mistake!

I'm not sure, they say small amounts of fruit juice are ok if absolutely necessary... I'm guessing probably not concentrate because that is pretty processed... I am interested in what others think.
I was also wondering about Molasses and balsamic vinegar... Are those ok? (I am on day 15 of the whole 30)
GL!

Usually concentrate means you need to add water to dilute I think, I am not sure if it actually adds extra sugar though, it should say on package if added sugar I would think??0

As long as it still says 100% juice you should be good. Not sure how to verify when you’re seeing it on an ingredients list though…0 -
one other thought, you could try looking in the whole9 forums or asking there:
