What is the difference between apple juice and apple cider?
• Apple cider and apple juice are both 100% liquid from an apple. • In the United States and Canada… “cider” is what you get when you blend together the juice of two or more varieties of fresh apples. American cider is unprocessed; appears dark, brown, and cloudy; and usually contains the pulp of the apple. If you then take this American cider and process it to clarify the juice, you get “apple juice”. American cider does not contain alcohol. • In England and Australia… “cider” is what you get when you take the liquid from freshly pressed apples and ferment it to make wine which contains alcohol. Americans call this “hard cider”.
