Root Beer

Root Beer is a sweet, carbonated soft drink traditionally flavored with sassafras or wintergreen notes and commonly enjoyed as a refreshing beverage or mixer. It is primarily a source of simple sugars — roughly 10.6g of sugar per 100g — and contains negligible amounts of protein, fiber or healthy fats. As an ultra‑processed sugary drink, it provides little in the way of vitamins or minerals; some flavoring ingredients may contribute trace antioxidant compounds, but overall it is best consumed occasionally rather than as a daily beverage.
