Nectar, in botany, is a sugar-rich liquid produced by the flowers of plants in order to attract pollinating animals. It is produced in glands called nectaries, which are generally at the base of the perianth, so that pollinators are made to brush the flower's reproductive structures, the anthers and pistil, while accessing the nectar. Nectar that is produced outside the flower is generally produced to attract predatory insects.
Nectars are a type of non-carbonated soft drink made with fruit juice. They are distinguished from drinks actually labelled as 'fruit juice' by the drinks industry as they do not contain 100% juice, and can contain many other ingredients, generally water, sweeteners, and preservatives. A nectar can contain anywhere between 0-100% fruit juice.
