Cider is sought after by many healthy people because of its rich nutritional value and simple production method. Cider tastes sweet. I’m happy to have a glass of fresh cider on a hot summer day! However, because cider is rich in oxidizing enzymes, when exposed to air, the iron in the cider is easily oxidized by the oxidizing enzymes, causing the cider to discolor, which greatly affects the taste and nutrition of the cider. Today, let us teach you a simple method to keep the color of the pressed cider.
How to press cider and keep the color intact
A. How to press cider without discoloration
1. Soak in salt water
Wash and cut the apples and soak them in salt water for 2-3 minutes to prevent the cider from discoloring.
2. Mix and press with other fruits and vegetables
When squeezing cider, you can mix other fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots together to not only make the cider taste better, but also to prevent the cider from discoloring after squeezing.
3. Add vitamin C and white vinegar to the cider
Adding an appropriate amount of vitamin C, such as lemon juice or a few drops of white vinegar, to the pressed cider can also effectively prevent discoloration of the pressed cider.
Preservation of cider
Generally speaking, freshly pressed cider should be stored at room temperature for no more than 2 hours and in the refrigerator for no more than 6-8 hours. Cider stored for too long will not work and may even have negative effects. It can harbor a large number of microorganisms and cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea. Therefore, freshly squeezed cider is usually squeezed and consumed immediately. It is best to drink it within half an hour. Do not store it for long periods of time.
Cider is rich in soluble and insoluble cellulose, which cleanses the digestive tract, promotes food digestion, and prevents heart disease. In addition, cider contains a large amount of zinc, which can cleanse the liver, kidney and zinc, and can effectively reduce liver and kidney diseases.
How can cider not change color? This is a key issue in cider making. You could say that the mastery of this method determines the nutrition and taste of the cider we squeeze. Cider is a healthy beverage that is easy to make and discolored.
When the proper method is mastered, the resulting cider not only tastes good, but is also nutritious. On the other hand, without the proper method, squeezed cider not only tastes bad, but also loses a lot of nutrients and makes the body uncomfortable. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to the above tips when pressing cider. Let’s make delicious and nutritious cider together!
