What is Organic apple juice?

Organic Apple Juice is made by crushing and squeezing fresh apples to extract the liquid, often with minimal processing to retain natural flavor and nutrients. To be labeled as 'organic,' the apples used must be grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

It's commonly used as a natural sweetener or flavoring agent in various food products, especially candies. The health evidence about apple juice varies; it provides vitamin C and other phytonutrients, though it lacks the fiber found in whole apples.

On a label, the 'organic' designation means higher standards of farming practice, which can appeal to those preferring sustainable agriculture.

Commonly found in: Candies, Beverages, Fruit Snacks, Desserts, Breakfast Cereals
