APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
FACTS
- Apple cider vinegar is made in a 2-step process,related to how alcohol is made:
Step 1: Yeast is added to crushed apples, which ferments the sugars and turns them into alcohol.
Step 2: Bacteria are added to the alcohol solution, which further ferments th alcohol and turns it into acetic acid, the main active compound in vinegar.
- Organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar also contains “mother” strands of proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria that give the product a murkey appearance.
- The main substance in vinegar, acetic acid, can kill harmful bacteria or prevent them from multiplying.
