Organic Apple Cider

Organic apple cider is the unfiltered juice pressed from organic apples. It is typically made by washing, crushing, and pressing whole organic apples to extract their juice. It is often sold unfiltered and unpasteurized, retaining more of the apple's natural pulp and nutrients.

Manufacturers use organic apple cider primarily as a flavoring ingredient, adding a distinct fruity taste to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in drinks, baked goods like breads and buns, and sauces such as dips and salsas. It can also be used as a base for vinegars.

Organic apple cider is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars and some nutrients from the apples. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated apple cider and related products. Evidence on specific health benefits or risks from consuming typical amounts of apple cider is limited and often anecdotal.
