This product is a type of vinegar created through the fermentation of apple cider. The process transforms the sugars in apples into acetic acid, the primary component that gives vinegar its characteristic sour taste and aroma. Often available unfiltered and unpasteurized, it may contain a “mother,” a colony of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and protein strands that form during fermentation.
Proponents suggest it offers various potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, supporting weight management, and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Historically, vinegar has been utilized for its medicinal properties and as a natural preservative. Its use dates back centuries, with evidence of its production and application found in ancient civilizations.
