Red Jacket Orchards Apple Cider, 64 Fl Oz
Summary
This apple cider is primarily made from apples, which are a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, the inclusion of potassium sorbate as a preservative indicates a higher level of processing, which limits the score. The natural sugars from the apples are balanced by fiber, but the presence of a synthetic additive prevents it from being rated as highly as a minimally processed juice.
