Introduction to Locally Availiable Apple Cider

Apple cider are created by crushed apples that are left over from a previous day. Like apple juices it contains the nectar of the apples. however, unlike the juice it has no or very little added sugar so it still have the natural tarty-ness that an apple will have. the way these farmers make apple cider is by crushing a good amount of apples. this amount can contain many different type of apples from Macintosh to Granny Smith apples. in my opinion this gives it a good general apple taste. once ready the apple cider is then poured into a container and sold at the local market.

in this market the apple cider comes in a variety of different sizes such as, a pint, a quart, and a gallon. however in this case i brought a quart. in this quart there are 4 servings at Serving Size 8 fl oz (236mL). and the nutritious values are as followed:

Sodium 60mg 3%
Potassium 135mg 4%
Total Carbohydrate 30g 10%
Sugars 30g

In another markets that sell similar items some of the apples used are organic. and others they don't add any sugar to it. however, in this market there are 30g of sugar added to the cider itself. probably gives it a sweetness and tastes vary much like apple juice. however the tarty flavor is still present.

apple cider is more nutritious than other beverages because it, though is in liquid form still have all the nutrients of an apple. while apple juices may have many added preservatives and food colorings that may put ones health at risk.


Apple cider is produced in any farm and all apple farms. however, in this case we used Caradonna Farms. The farm is in Caradonna Family, Marlboro, NY. The contact number is
845-236-3123. this was because it was the cheapest ones.
