What it is
This is a beverage made from pressed apples. It contains only the natural juice of the fruit, with no added sugars or artificial flavors. The apples are typically washed, cored, and then pressed to extract their liquid. This juice is then filtered to remove pulp and sediment, resulting in a clear, drinkable product. It is a common way to enjoy the taste of apples in a liquid form, offering a sweet and slightly tart flavor profile.
