Is there a difference between Apple Juice and Apple Cider?

Answer 1

A glass of fresh apple cider is one of our favorite fall treats, so we set out to answer your question with gusto. We searched on "apple juice apple cider difference" and soon learned the core difference. Both drinks are made from 100% liquid from an apple, but the distinction between the two depends upon where you live.
In the United States, apple cider refers to the unprocessed liquid that you get from apples. The apples are washed, cut, and ground into mash before being pressed. The resulting cider usually contains apple pulp and is dark, brown, and cloudy. The beverage is perishable and must be refrigerated. If this liquid is filtered and further processed, the resulting product is apple juice, which has a longer shelf life than cider.

In England, apple cider is an alcoholic beverage that is produced when the juice from freshly pressed apples is allowed to ferment. It's sometimes referred to as "hard cider."

Some ciders and juices have not been pasteurized and may pose a health risk. The FDA requires all unpasteurized drinks to be labeled.

Answer 2

apple juice is like more of a licude and cider is more of a sweet tingle taste but You might be surprised to learn that apple juice and apple cider are technically the same - they are both 100% juice from the apple. Some apple juice manufacturers also use processes to clarify the juice, resulting in a clear appearance. In fact, the greatest volume of apple juice sold in the United States is clarified apple juice.

Cider is a broad term that is often used to refer to a number of different products (apple cider, sweet cider, hard cider and so on). For example, in the United States, the word cider refers to the freshly expressed juice of the apple. In England and Australia, the word is used to describe fermented juice, which Americans actually call hard cider. When cider is allowed to ferment or partially ferment, it has distinct characteristics that many have come to recognize - including tart taste and dark, cloudy appearance.

Answer 5

There are two different kinds of cider: Spiced cider (made with cinnamon and other spices) and sparkling cider. Spiced cider is almost always served hot. Sparkling cider is always served chilled. I think the chill on the sparkling cider may help preserve the carbonation, but I am not sure.

Then there's apple "juice", which is neither spiced (as "spiced cider" is) nor bubbly (as "sparkling cider" is).

Apple cider is the name used especially in the United States and parts of Canada for a non-alcoholic beverage produced from apples by a process of pressing. It is more sour and cloudy than conventional apple juice, retaining the tart flavor of the apple pulp which is lost in conventional fruit juice production.
