Nectar by FDA standards can be doctored with additives and sugar. Fruit juice is generally the finest product aside from pulp that is available.

I have tried it, it tasted good, but is too sweet. wish it didn't have added sugar.

Agreed. It’s very sweet, but I have a sweet tooth...I’m the kid who snuck extra sugar in my kook-aid ;)
So for me it’s perfect the way it is.

I haven't bought this one and the label isn't clear if there is added sugar just says pulp. I tried looking up the FDA rules on labeling pulp but they seem to only concentrate on beverages.

The Add way too much sugar! To a good product not good , carful with High corn fructose, they like to mask that name with other “ Sugar Names “ .

The label shows cane sugar as the 3rd ingredient. The first ingredient is filtered water and it’s only 20% juice. Pulp is not doctored so there shouldn’t be a labeling issue. Nectar is where things get fuzzy, PURE juice is not to be confused with this product which is made with only 20% of real juice, water and other ingredients.

Retail juice can be watered down, generally more than nectar which is also sugar laden. I don’t see fructose here, that’s more prevelant in sodas and other tropical fruit drinks.

The label I posted for guanabana pulp(14 oz.), the one from Goya. It doesn't mention sugar, water, or 20% juice. Click on the link to see the label for the product from Goya. Please correct me if wrong but it seems to me this is a very different product from what was in the original "Nectar".

For my homemade soursop nectar I peeled the fruit, mashed the flesh through a strainer to eliminate the inedible fiber, and then added about 20% coconut water to the soursop pulp.  It was perfection (and still very sweet).  Made me wish I had two more trees!

If you can (carefully!) extract all seeds from pulp, add your liquid and blend in a blender you may get more juice extracted from the 'rag' during straining. I hav also used a cloth to squeeze the juice out.

There is sugar in everything unnecessarily, it’s addictive , cheap and makes lots of monies while being a root cause of disease and body pain.

I’d rather have a little sugar in soursop than mustard or chips though.
