About Apfelwein
Apfelwein, also known as cider in English-speaking countries, is a fermented apple-based beverage, primarily originating from Germany, particularly the Hesse region. It is a staple of German cuisine and often enjoyed in communal settings. Apfelwein is low in calories, with 40 kcal per 100ml, containing no protein and no fats, but providing small amounts of carbohydrates from natural sugars. It lacks significant fiber but contains minimal traces of calcium, iron, and vitamin C. It is traditionally served cold in a classic glass or ceramic jug, making it a refreshing and slightly tangy drink.
