100% Apple Juice from Concentrate
What it is
This is a beverage made from apples that have been processed into a concentrated form and then reconstituted with water. The process of concentrating the juice removes water, making it more compact for storage and transportation. When water is added back, it returns to its original liquid state. It is a common way to package fruit juice for consumers.
How people cook with it
