Natural apple juice (cloudy)

Description

Natural apple juice (cloudy) is characterized by a full, fresh apple aroma, a sweet and sour taste that depends on the variety, and a creamy, slightly cloudy consistency with pulp sediment, usually in colors ranging from golden to amber. Natural cloudiness indicates the presence of fiber and polyphenols, which contribute to a richer flavor profile than clear juice. Nutritionally, it is a source of simple carbohydrates and energy, providing vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants (polyphenols); it also contains small amounts of fiber compared to the whole fruit, which is why it has a beneficial effect on hydration, supports digestion, and may contribute to the protection of the cardiovascular system, as long as it is consumed in moderation due to natural sugars. In the kitchen, it works well as a drink, a base for cocktails and drinks, an ingredient in sauces, marinades, dressings, and baked goods, as well as an addition to cheeses and meat dishes. Once opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3–5 days; shake well before serving. Unopened, store in a cool, dry place away from light.
