The main takeaway is that there’s still a bit of pulp.Īpple juice, on the other hand, is filtered to a much more significant degree- all the pulp is removed. Then, it’s pressed through a fine-mesh strainer or cloth to remove the bulk of the pulp (but not all of it).įor apple cider, sometimes, the apples are cooked before mashing, but not always. But alcohol doesn’t define cider, and non-alcoholic apple cider is far more common in the US than the boozy kind.Ĭider is made by slicing and grinding the apple into a mash that resembles applesauce.

Apple Cider vs Apple Juice The question then becomes: Are apples the fruit you should focus your juicing efforts on? Is it worthwhile, or are you better off making other juices? Your momma always said, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Chances are you’re mature enough now to know health isn’t quite so simple, but sayings like that usually have a kernel of truth. With the right equipment, it’s also super easy to make for yourself! Nowadays, apple juice is one of the most common fruit juices on the market. Certain groceries stores also are in on deliciousness-you may find our juice at participating Associated Food’s and Smith’s retail stores.Besides introducing the best apple juice recipes, today’s article is meant to cover some of the health aspects of consuming apple juice- both the good and the bad.

Our machine fills bottle after bottle of juice for our store shelves, to go straight to your fridge (and stomach-yum!). This is done so quick that there is no time for the juice to change its fresh squeezed flavor. Time to pasteurize the juice to make sure it’s bacteria-free! Our juice is ran thru a HTST (High Temperature Short Time) pasteurizer where the cold juice is brought to 162 degrees for 15 seconds, then immediately cooled to 40 degrees. In the cooling tank, the juice is cooled to 34 degrees, and rests for an entire day so that any residual pulp settles to the bottom of the tank. ![]() Then, the juice rushes up through the pipes along the ceiling into the cooling tank. The press looks a lot like a giant accordion with apples inside the creases, but when it squeezes together, it squeezes with 4000 pounds of pressure to extract the juice.Īfter the apple pieces have all of the juice squeezed out of them, the juice runs through a screen to make sure no pulp made its way in to the juice (the dry pulp is used for compost that is spread on the pumpkin patch). ![]() If you’ve ever seen an accordion, you can imagine how an accordion stretches out, and then compacts back together. We carefully fill up every compartment of the press. Can you imagine trying to cut just one apple into that small of chunks on your own? Yikes, that would take a while! SqueezingĪfter the apples are all ground up, they are pumped thru a fat hose up into the press. ![]() The pieces are about the size of a pencil eraser, or a Tic-Tac mint. The hammer mill is where the apples are hammered into tiny pieces. The apples then roll down the chute, to be inspected (got to make sure there’s not a bad apple in the mix!) and washed and scrubbed before they are hoisted into the hammer mill. These crates are then dunked into a large tank of water where the apples can float out and find their way onto the conveyer belt. We process all of our juice and cider in our very own Cider Mill, with a mechanized system that turns apples into delicious juice! From our farm to your home, our cider and apple juice are full of flavor, completely natural, and a family favorite! Washing and Grindingįrom the tree, the apples are gathered into large crates.
