    On One Hand: Concentrated Juice Benefits

    According to Nutritiondata.com, a serving of bottled lemon juice has 51 calories, 16 grams of sugar, and 101 percent of the recommended daily dose of Vitamin C. As an added bonus, bottled lemon juice concentrate is more convenient to the consumer since it doesn't require the work of squeezing the lemons.

    On the Other: Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice Benefits

    A serving of raw lemon juice, according to Nutritiondata.com, has 61 calories, 21 grams of sugar, and 187 percent of a daily recommended dose of Vitamin C. The biggest benefit coming from drinking raw lemon juice, besides the extra Vitamin C, is the better taste.

    Bottom Line

    It really comes down to taste, convenience, and necessity. If you need extra Vitamin C, and are looking for superior taste, choose fresh-squeezed lemon juice. If you want convenience with less sugar and calories, choose bottled lemon juice concentrate.
