Apple Juice

"Apple juice is as ubiquitous as, well, apples. And there’s a reason for that. Lots of reasons, really. It’s delicious; it’s refreshing; in its best iterations, it calls to mind crisp, cool mornings spent meandering through an orchard filled with ripe apples just waiting to be pressed. It should come as no surprise that Trader Joe’s Apple Juice is made from a single ingredient: apples. Apples grown in California and Washington, to be specific. The juice from these apples is freshly pressed, flash-pasteurized, then bottled for us by a family-owned company that’s been in the apple juice business for more than forty years — that’s a whole lot of apple expertise! The keys to success here are “freshly pressed” and “single ingredient.” There are no concentrates and absolutely nothing is added. Just the Juice, the way it was intended. Drink it cold, straight from the fridge. Warm it on the stove and enjoy it in a mug. Add mulling spices! Include it in recipes — we have it on good authority (those experienced apple people) that it really elevates the flavors of things like chili, marinara sauce, and stir-frys."
