Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a vinegar made from fermented apple juice and used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys. It is made by crushing apples, extracting the juice, and then fermenting it with acetic acid-forming bacteria. Apple cider vinegar has been sold as supplements over the years due to its incredible benefits for digestion, detoxification, and weight management. It is also full of natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutrient-rich tonic.
