Calories in Apple Cider
The cloudy, unfiltered cousin of apple juice that most people confuse with its alcoholic namesake.
What makes apple cider so powerful?
Apple cider is unfiltered, unsweetened juice pressed from apples that retains suspended pulp particles and sediment, giving it a characteristic cloudiness that distinguishes it from clear apple juice. which has been filtered and clarified. Unlike hard cider, which undergoes alcoholic fermentation, fresh apple cider is non-alcoholic. Traditional cider production relies on blending multiple apple varieties—combining tart, sweet, and astringent apples—to achieve a balanced flavor, since no single variety produces the ideal taste profile on its own. The natural sugars in cider are predominantly fructose, and the trace protein content comes directly from fine apple solids suspended in the liquid. Because it is unpasteurized, fresh cider continues to ferment naturally at room temperature, which is why it must be kept refrigerated.
Serve chilled or gently warmed with cinnamon sticks and whole cloves. Use as a marinade base for pork tenderloin, where malic acid helps tenderize the meat. Reduce over low heat into a syrup for glazing root vegetables or drizzling over oatmeal. Store refrigerated and consume within 7 to 10 days of opening, since unpasteurized cider ferments rapidly at room temperature.
