Here are today’s five thing to know about Apple Cider:
- The cider industry uses 45% of all apples grown in the UK
- The UK cider industry grew nearly 200,000 tons of cider apples in 2010; Bulmers alone has 10,000 acres of cider apple orchards under its control
- There are more than 300 varieties of apples grown in the UK – all with the sole purpose of making cider
- Varieties include Foxwhelp, Brown Snout, Ball’s Bittersweet, Kingston Black, Merrylegs and Slack-ma-Girdle
