Apple juice concentrate can be produced in two different ways. The first way involves heating apple juice and then letting it boil down. However, you can also make raw apple juice concentrate without the heating step. This ensures that important enzymes and other heat-sensitive substances are not destroyed. Apple juice concentrate is used more widely in Europe than the United States. In Germany, it is called Apfeldicksaft.
Substances:
During the production of apple juice concentrate, the water-soluble substances in apples (sugar, acids, amino acids, vitamin c, vitamins in the B group, and some of the minerals) and the fructose remain in the concentrate. Apple juice concentrate contains both potassium and sodium.
Culinary uses:
Apple juice concentrate can be used as a substitute for sugar. It gives a wide range of dishes a fruity, sweet flavor and is often used in creams, dressings, soups, and sauces. It can also be used as a sweetener for cakes and drinks.

Explanations of nutrient tables in general
The majority of the nutritional information comes from the USDA (US Department of Agriculture). This means that the information for natural products is often incomplete or only given within broader categories, whereas in most cases products made from these have more complete information displayed.
If we take flaxseed, for example, the important essential amino acid ALA (omega-3) is only included in an overarching category whereas for flaxseed oil ALA is listed specifically. In time, we will be able to change this, but it will require a lot of work. An “i” appears behind ingredients that have been adjusted and an explanation appears when you hover over this symbol.
For Erb Muesli, the original calculations resulted in 48 % of the daily requirement of ALA — but with the correction, we see that the muesli actually covers >100 % of the necessary recommendation for the omega-3 fatty acid ALA. Our goal is to eventually be able to compare the nutritional value of our recipes with those that are used in conventional western lifestyles.
