Root beer

Root beer is a sweetened, flavoured fizzy drink. The form described here is a non-alcoholic beverage, with carbohydrate from sugars as its main source of energy. Per 100g, it provides 172 kJ of energy, 11g of carbohydrate and 11g of sugars. Its alcohol content is listed as 0g.

The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Sugars provide energy, and frequent consumption of sugary drinks can contribute to tooth decay. Although the drink contains water, it provides little in the way of vitamins or minerals. Full nutrient figures, including salt, fat and water content, are shown in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Literature souces). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Ref. Cutrufelli and Matthews (1986).
