"Cider, known in the U.S. as hard cider, is an alcoholic drink made from crushed and then fermented apples. Cider generally has a stronger alcoholic content than beer, usually over 5%, and golden yellow or cloudy appearance. To produce cider, apples are washed, then grated or mashed, then pressed (usually in a stone mill or hydraulic press) then fermented in oak vats using natural or added yeasts.
Apple cider has a relatively high concentration of phenolics, antioxidants which may be helpful for preventing heart disease, cancer, and other ailments. This is, in part, because apples themselves have a decent concentration of phenolics in them to begin with."
