Fermentation takes away sugar leaving the goodness of fruit behind. Yeast also adds to Vitamin B-12 and other probiotics which are otherwise very difficult for vegetarians to source. Hence fruit cider is more healthy for the gut and overall well being of its consumer.
If you are conscious about weight loss, then ferment your apple cider dry (without residual sugar). Use a hydrometer and ensure the specific gravity reading is 1.000 or lower. This sugar management will help you if you are diabetic risk or on a keto diet or looking to lose weight.
Remember we added no colors, preservatives, artificial flavors, or chemicals in your homemade cider. Try using organic fruits with the skin to extract the maximum benefit of nature and improve your health.
