Apple juice

Sweet and mildly tart, lighter and less complex than fresh-pressed apple cider.

Lens analyzed

Apple juice is the pressed and filtered liquid from apples, sold clear or slightly cloudy depending on how much pulp is strained out. It's typically sold pasteurized and shelf-stable, and is one of the most common fruit juices marketed to kids.

Where it comes from

Pressing apples for juice and cider has been done for centuries wherever apples grow, and modern shelf-stable apple juice became a supermarket staple through 20th-century pasteurization and packaging advances.

Buying it

Check the label for "100% juice" versus a juice drink with added sugar and water, since apple-flavored beverages vary widely in how much actual juice they contain.

Storing it

An unopened shelf-stable bottle keeps in the pantry; refrigerate after opening and use within about ten days.

Keeps about 10 days in the fridge.
