Apple juice concentrate without sugar

Unsweetened apple juice concentrate is a thick liquid ingredient obtained by reducing natural apple juice, removing a large portion of its water content, but without adding any additional sugar. This product retains the sweet and characteristic flavor of the apple, providing a dense texture and an intense taste that make it ideal for use as a natural sweetener in various culinary preparations.

Apple juice concentrate originated from the need to preserve fresh apple juice and concentrate it to facilitate storage and transport. Traditionally, it is produced in regions where apples are an abundant fruit, such as in various areas of Europe, the United States, and Latin America.

Regarding its nutritional properties, it is a natural source of sugars derived exclusively from apples, which provides quick energy without the addition of processed sugars. It also contains small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants inherent to apples, although in a reduced concentration due to the concentration process.

In the context of cooking, it is widely used to sweeten desserts, sauces, marinades, and baked goods, as it adds flavor and extra moisture without the use of refined sugar.
