Focus on Fiber [www.QinSen.com]

Apples are very good sources of fiber, especially if you eat the skins. A diet that's high in fiber, low in fat and includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day is a sensible way of reducing the risk of certain types of cancer. [www.QinSen.com]

The fiber in a medium apple (4 grams) can help you reach the recommended 20 to 30 grams needed each day. Apples contain a mix of fibers. Some provide bulk, to prevent intestinal problems; others, like pectin, are thought to lower blood cholesterol and control blood sugar (important for people with diabetes).

Is Cider a Source of Fiber?

Cider doesn't have the fiber that a fresh apple has, but otherwise the nutrition is the same. A six-ounce glass of cider has about the same calories as a medium apple.

Here are a few other things you might want to know about Wegmans Fresh Apple Cider:

You can refrigerate opened cider for up to 2 weeks. Our cider is very fresh -- it's pressed not more than 3 or 4 days before arriving in our stores.
Wegmans cider is made from a blend of apples. In the fall, those apples are all locally grown.
No sugar or water is added. There is a tiny bit of preservative, potassium sorbate, added to prevent the growth of yeast and keep the cider from going hard. Potassium sorbate has been used in foods for the past 40 years and is proven safe.
The sediment you sometimes see at the bottom of the jug is apple solids that remain after filtering. It begins to settle after about 2 weeks.
Unforbidden Fruit

More apple varieties are grown in Central and Western New York than in any other part of the country. Wegmans sells more apples from New York State than from anywhere else. From the farm, straight to our stores, we bring you the pick of the crop.

Availability of Apples

Many of the apples described above are available year-round. Some apples are in short supply, so get them while they last!
