Fruit nectar

Fruit nectar is a thick, opaque, spoon-coatingly rich drink made from strained fruit pulp or purée — most often guava, mango, soursop, apricot, peach or passion fruit — let down with water and usually sweetened, then homogenised and packaged. Unlike a clear pressed juice or a watery agua fresca, a nectar keeps the smooth flesh of the fruit in suspension, giving it a velvety, almost drinkable-yoghurt body and a deep, concentrated fruit flavour. It is a major global packaged-drink category in its own right, defined in food law by a minimum fruit content that is lower than "juice" but far higher than a fruit-flavoured soft drink. It is non-alcoholic and caffeine-free, and the drink is understood as the beverage made from the fruit, distinct from the whole fruit itself.
