The beverage in question is produced by reconstituting concentrated apple juice with water. This process allows for efficient storage and transportation of the raw material before the final product is created. For example, a manufacturer might purchase concentrated apple juice from a large supplier and then, at their own facility, add water to achieve the desired flavor and consistency.
Utilizing this method offers several advantages for producers and consumers alike. It allows for a more consistent product year-round, regardless of seasonal apple availability. Furthermore, the concentrated form minimizes shipping costs, potentially leading to a more affordable final product for the consumer. Historically, this approach developed as a response to the challenges of preserving and distributing fresh apple juice on a large scale.
