What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is made from fresh, organically grown ripe apples that are fermented and undergo a stringent process which boosts the natural fermentation qualities of the crushed apples. This differs from the refined and distilled vinegars found in supermarkets. The vinegar contains a host of vitamins, beta-carotene, pectin and vital minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphorous, chlorine, magnesium, calcium, sulphur, iron, and fluorine.

Which Apple Cider Vinegar should you buy?

The Real Apple Cider Vinegar is not vinegar you can buy in stores but an organic and unfiltered vinegar. It is not a clear liquid, but has got a brownish tinge to it. If you try looking through it, you will notice a tiny cobweb-like substance, which is referred to as »the mother«. Natural vinegars that contain the mother have enzymes and minerals that other vinegars in grocery stores do not have due to over-processing, over-heating, and filtration. Manufacturers distil the vinegar to make it clear and this process destroys almost all of the health giving nutrients.
