What it is

Apple pulp is the ground-up, pulped flesh of apples, including the skin and seeds. It is a byproduct of apple juice and cider production. The pulping process breaks down the apple tissue to create a smoother texture.

Health notes

Apple pulp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber, which can aid digestion. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated apple pulp and related substances. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
