About Vegetable juice cocktail, canned
This is canned vegetable juice cocktail, the savory tomato-based blend sold under names like V8 — mostly tomato juice rounded out with the juices of carrots, celery, beets, spinach and other vegetables. It is one of the few drinks that tastes like a vegetable rather than a dessert.
Per 100 grams it provides only about 19 calories, 0.6 gram of protein, almost no fat and 4.6 grams of carbohydrate (3.3 grams of it natural sugar), plus 0.8 gram of fiber. The real draw is the micronutrients: roughly 28 milligrams of vitamin C, about 78 micrograms of vitamin A and 193 milligrams of potassium per 100 grams. An 8-ounce glass (about 240 grams) comes to around 46 calories while delivering close to 66 milligrams of vitamin C and a useful dose of vitamin A.
The catch is sodium: standard vegetable juice cocktail carries about 198 milligrams per 100 grams, so an 8-ounce glass runs close to 475 milligrams — a meaningful chunk of the day's limit. Low-sodium versions cut that by most. It is a convenient way to add some vegetable nutrition to the day, but it does not replace whole vegetables, which bring far more fiber for the same calories.
