Cider is a fermented fruit drink, usually made from apples or pears. The form described here is low-alcohol cider. Per 100ml, it provides 74 kJ of energy, 3.6g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, 0g of fat and 0.6g of alcohol. Its energy comes from sugar and alcohol rather than fat or protein.
Low-alcohol cider is not necessarily alcohol-free, which is relevant for people avoiding alcohol. Its sugar content also matters for those monitoring sugar or energy intake. Frequent consumption of sugary drinks can contribute to tooth decay. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100ml of the food as described (<1% ABV. 10 samples, 3 brands including Kopparberg Pear non-alcoholic and own brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
