Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is made by fermenting apple juice, first converting sugars into alcohol and then allowing acetic acid bacteria to convert the alcohol into acetic acid. It has a characteristic fruity aroma, a golden-brown colour, and a mildly sharp flavour. Natural, unfiltered apple cider vinegar contains the so-called mother, a cluster of beneficial bacteria and enzymes. In the kitchen, it is used in dressings, marinades, sauces, pickling brines, and preserving. It is also a popular ingredient in home health remedies, where various health benefits are attributed to it, though scientific evidence remains limited.
