Juices, fruit drinks, drinks for dessert ... How to choose a drink so that it is healthy?
Cool drinks
There is always a wide selection of drinks in stores, attracting a bright rich taste. But they are not always able to quench their thirst and even more benefit, nourish with natural vitamins.
And more and more often I want to replace all this “chemistry” and reconstituted juices with a drink prepared at home according to a simple recipe. From such a drink it blows from childhood: homemade lemonade in a transparent jug, organic jelly, iced tea (black, green, red), vegetable and milk shakes, and, of course, fruit drinks and compote.
How these drinks differ from those purchased is understandable. But how do they differ from each other? In this article we will talk about how fruit drink differs from compote.
Morse and compote: differences
To quench your thirst, you can use compote and fruit drink. What is the difference between these drinks? Let's see how they are prepared and what is included in their composition.
Morse is a soft drink made from natural juice diluted with water and sugar. Fruit drinks are prepared from various berries and fruits, both from one species and from a mixture. Water for making fruit drink is only boiled. Sugar is diluted in it and heated to dissolve completely. Juice should be added only to the cooled syrup to preserve as many vitamins as possible. To enhance the taste, the pulp is often first boiled in water. It is better to drink fruit drinks chilled, you can add lemon or orange to the jug.
Let's see how the fruit drink differs from compote.
Compote is a dessert sweet drink made from berries and fruits. It is valuable in that it is not preserved, but sterilized (if harvested for future use). Can be harvested without sugar. Stewed fruit is low in calories and is considered a diet drink. Compote, unlike fruit drinks and especially juice, does not irritate the gastric mucosa, so it can be drunk even with exacerbations of diseases of the digestive system. Dried fruit compote is especially good. It improves digestion, normalizes metabolism.
The presence of natural juice in the drink is what makes the fruit drink different from compote.
Both fruit drink and compote are very rich in vitamins. The value of fruit juice consists in the presence of natural juice in it, and the compote is subjected to a short heat treatment that preserves vitamins in berries and fruits. Stewed fruit is also rich in vitamins, because it is very concentrated. In addition, it can be enriched with vitamin C, if rosehip is also added to dried fruits.
The juice
And now consider compote, fruit drink, and juice, what is the difference between these drinks.
Juice, prepared at home, is of two types: freshly squeezed and cooked. Freshly squeezed juice is prepared from berries or fruits by passing them through a juicer. Such natural juice can be prepared for future use. We dilute the remaining cake with water, filter, then add sugar, heat to dissolve and add juice. Pour into banks and sterilize.
To make the juice tasty, only high-quality raw materials should be used for its production.
In addition, juices are prepared not only from fruits and berries. Vegetables are also used to make this drink.
A natural undiluted liquid product is what makes juice different from fruit drinks and compote. Let's move from theory to practice.
Recipes
To understand what is the difference between compote and fruit drink, prepare and try these drinks.
- Dried fruits compote. Boil four liters of water, put a glass of sugar, washed dried fruits, bring to a boil and leave to insist. You can put some jam for taste. Drink compote better chilled.

As you can see, the last drink has in its composition natural juice. And this is exactly what makes fruit drink different from compote.
In any case, if you have one of these drinks on the table, your body will receive the necessary dose of vitamins. In addition, it is pleasant to quench your thirst with these drinks or use them as a dessert.
