Apple cider is a beer like alcoholic beverage that is the result of apples and apple juice fermentation. It can also come in non-alcoholic versions; it is generally gluten free and can be much lower in sugar when compared with apple juice. On the other hand, apple juice is very high in sugar. It can be raw and unpasteurised which means it has a very low shelf life; or it can be made from apple juice concentrate and come in different version with various additives. It is a popular beverage with kids and at buffets. Why not try eating an apple instead of resorting to a beverage? You get the befits of enjoying the taste without the overload of sugar, potential additives and alcohol.
