Apple Cider Vinegar

(ACV)

What Is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from—you guessed it—apples! It’s basically apple juice that’s been fermented twice. First, the apples are crushed, and the juice is squeezed out. Then, yeast is added to turn the natural sugars into alcohol (kind of like how wine is made), and after that, bacteria are added to convert the alcohol into vinegar.

Now, apple cider vinegar is famous for its tangy, sour flavor, and you can use it in so many different ways. Some people love it in salad dressings or marinades, while others swear by it as a natural health remedy. It’s said to help with digestion, weight loss, and even skin issues. I’ve even tried using it to soothe a sore throat, and while the taste isn’t exactly pleasant, it definitely helped!

A lot of folks say it’s packed with health benefits, but it’s one of those things you should use in moderation because too much can be a bit harsh. It’s pretty powerful stuff, especially if you’re using it on your skin or drinking it straight up—diluting it with water is always a good idea.

Types of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is made through a process called fermentation. The process has two steps. First, the apples are crushed and yeast is added to speed up the fermentation process, so the sugar converts into alcohol after a few weeks. Then, natural bacteria break the alcohol down into acetic acid, which gives vinegar its tangy taste and odor.

Apple cider vinegar with 'the mother'

Most ACV you find in the grocery store is the clear, pasteurized, and filtered type. But you can also buy raw, unfiltered ACV that contains a cloudy sediment. Called "the mother," this substance is made up of settled bacteria and yeast.

Some people give the mother credit for ACV's health benefits. And it's thought to contain small amounts of probiotics (healthy bacteria) that are good for gut health. But research hasn’t shown that the mother offers any particular health benefit.

The acetic acid in ACV is thought to be at least partly responsible for any health benefits it has. But other types of vinegar contain acetic acid as well.

Apple cider vinegar supplements

You can also buy ACV pills, powders, or gummies. But there's been little research into whether these supplements have any effect. Because the FDA doesn't regulate dietary supplements, you can't be sure exactly what's in them.

Other Names of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been touted for various health benefits, although many of these claims are based on anecdotal evidence and some limited scientific studies. Below are some of the potential benefits of apple cider vinegar:

Helps with digestion – If you’ve got a heavy meal that’s sitting in your stomach like a rock, a little apple cider vinegar can help. It’s supposed to boost your digestive juices and help break down food. I’ve mixed a teaspoon in water after a big dinner before, and it seems to do the trick.

Supports weight loss – Some people swear by it for weight loss. The idea is that it helps you feel fuller, so you eat less. I’m not sure it’s a magic cure, but adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to your routine could help with portion control.

Balances blood sugar – This one’s popular with folks watching their sugar levels. Apple cider vinegar might help lower blood sugar, especially after meals. I’ve seen some studies talk about this, but I think it’s still good to talk to your doctor if you’re serious about managing blood sugar.

Boosts skin health – I’ve tried it myself for breakouts (after hearing a friend rave about it). You can dilute it and use it as a toner or on spots. It stings a little, but it dries out pimples. Just don’t go overboard—it’s pretty strong!

Soothes sore throats – If you’re fighting a cold, gargling with apple cider vinegar and warm water can help. My grandma swears by this, and I’ve done it a few times. It burns a bit, but it really does soothe a sore throat.

Improves heart health – Some studies suggest apple cider vinegar can help lower cholesterol and improve heart health. I’ve read about this, but haven’t tried it long enough to notice a difference. Still, every little bit helps, right?

Natural cleaning agent – Okay, maybe not a “health” benefit, but I’ve used apple cider vinegar for cleaning around the house. It’s a great natural cleaner, especially for kitchen surfaces. Plus, no weird chemicals!

It’s one of those things that can do a bit of everything, but just be careful not to overdo it—especially if you’re drinking it. Always dilute it, because it’s pretty intense!

Varieties of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is available in various varieties, depending on the production method, processing, and ingredients used. Here are some common varieties of apple cider vinegar:

Raw apple cider vinegar – This is the kind I like to use most. It’s unfiltered, unpasteurized, and still has the “mother” in it (that cloudy stuff floating around). The mother’s where all the good enzymes and probiotics are, so it’s got the most health benefits. It’s got a stronger flavor, but I think it’s worth it for the benefits!

Filtered apple cider vinegar – This one is clearer and doesn’t have the mother in it. It’s been processed and pasteurized, so it looks nicer on the shelf, but it doesn’t have as many of the good-for-you stuff like raw ACV. It’s more for cooking or cleaning if you’re not too worried about health benefits.

Organic apple cider vinegar – I try to buy organic when I can, and apple cider vinegar is no different. Organic ACV is made from organic apples, so there’s no pesticides or chemicals used. It’s usually raw and unfiltered too, so you get the full benefits.

Flavored apple cider vinegar – Yup, they’ve started adding flavors to ACV! You can find ones with honey, ginger, or even turmeric mixed in. I haven’t tried these yet, but I imagine it might help make the taste a little easier to handle if you’re drinking it for health reasons. Sounds kinda fun too!

Apple cider vinegar capsules – Not technically a liquid vinegar, but they make ACV in pill form now. It’s supposed to be for people who can’t stand the taste but still want the health benefits. I haven’t tried these myself because I prefer the real thing, but I can see how it might be more convenient.

ACV with honey – This is a popular one because the honey makes it taste a little less harsh. It’s usually raw ACV mixed with raw honey, so you still get the health benefits but with a sweeter twist. I’ve added honey to my own ACV drinks before, and it definitely makes it more drinkable!

Organic raw ACV tonic – Some brands have ready-made tonics, which are like ACV with added ingredients like lemon, cayenne pepper, or cinnamon. These are meant for drinking straight or mixing with water. I’ve tried one of these a few times, and it’s actually pretty tasty!

There are so many ways to get your apple cider vinegar fix, whether you’re using it for cooking, health, or cleaning. The type you pick just depends on what you’re looking for!

30 Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar:

Kill Bacteria: Apple cider vinegar is obviously a type of vinegar. This makes it great for killing bacteria.

May Be Able to Fight Cancer: We all know someone that has been impacted by cancer. It is a terrible disease. Which is why, in my opinion, if you can take something daily that might help you fight it off for yourself, then it might be worth your while. There have actually been studies that show that apple cider vinegar can help ward off cancer. The studies show that it can kill cancer cells and shrink tumors too.

Lower Blood Pressure: If you've ever had blood pressure problems, then you know it is no fun and can actually be quite frightening. I had to deal with blood pressure issues while pregnant, and it was a petrifying time in my life. So if you struggle with high blood pressure, then you know that you are at risk for things such as heart attack and stroke because of how hard your heart is having to work. You can try adding apple cider vinegar to your diet since it has been shown to be able to reduce blood pressure.

Helps Gut Health: Gut health is super important. A large percentage of our immune system is actually found in our gut. Unfortunately, our overuse of antibiotics and poor diets have left our guts in a mess. Well, if you want to try and restore your gut health, then consider adding a spoonful of apple cider vinegar into your daily routine.

Helps Acid Reflux: You wouldn't think that something as acidic as apple cider vinegar would help with stopping acid reflux, but it can. So the next time you feel like your chest and throat are on fire because of acid reflux, try taking a swig of apple cider vinegar. A teaspoon or two diluted in a mug of warm water after a meal may help with your acid reflux. It's unlikely to make your condition worse.

Detoxes Body: I'm big on detoxing my body. We are constantly bombarded with chemicals in the air, through the products we use, and the food we consume. Which means, our body might need a little help with knocking some of those toxins out. You can use apple cider vinegar in the shower in areas such as your feet, hands, and armpits to help pull out toxins. Or you can add apple cider vinegar to your daily routine so it can work on toxins internally.

Helps Condition Hair: use apple cider vinegar a lot for this reason. When I finish washing my hair, I'll do an apple cider vinegar rinse. Then I'll rinse my hair again. You won't believe how soft and shiny your hair looks and feels after this. It is inexpensive, natural, and can actually help battle buildup in your hair and dandruff.

Clears Up Acne: This is another reason why I use apple cider vinegar so much. Whether you are a teenager or a woman who has hormones that get out of whack every now and then, we often have to battle acne. Well, instead of buying expensive soaps and creams, just wash your face. Then apply apple cider vinegar to your face. Finish it up by rinsing your face with cold water. It will clear up acne in no time.

Helps Cure a Cold: If you have a cold and feel like you are drowning in mucus, then take a swig of apple cider vinegar. It has properties in it that will actually help battle a cold for you. Plus, it can give your gut a boost which will also help boost your immune system that will ultimately be responsible for kicking the cold virus from your body.

Candida Cleanse: You can drink apple cider vinegar, and it should help get the yeast in your body back under control.

Helps with Hiccups: Take a spoonful of apple cider vinegar. It has been said to be able to calm them down.

Soothes a Sore Throat: It should come as no surprise that apple cider vinegar is also great at helping you to get over a sore throat. So since it can boost your immune system, help with a common cold, and help with other small ailments, it shouldn't seem that far off-base to think that you can pop some apple cider vinegar in some water to ease a sore throat.

Helps Leg Cramps: Apple cider vinegar is actually a great source of potassium. You've probably been told to eat a banana when you have leg cramps or to eat one before bed to avoid leg cramps in the night. Well, now you can add some apple cider vinegar to your diet to help avoid leg cramps since it will give you a solid dose of potassium.

Rids Bad Breath: This is another use for apple cider vinegar that I have found to be very true in my own experience. I began adding some apple cider vinegar to my water after talking to my mom. I'm really self-conscious about talking to people and offending them with my breath, and I would sometimes get this weird taste in my mouth that just made me feel like my breath was bad. So I told my mom about it, and she suggested adding some ACV to my water. I did, and I don't get that weird taste anymore. I feel fairly confident that apple cider vinegar helped cure any issues I may have had with bad breath.

Natural Deodorant: Again, I've found this use to be very true in my own experience. I use apple cider vinegar in the shower a lot. I use it for my hair and to detoxify. So when I detoxify my body, I apply ACV to my underarms. I still use deodorant, but I've noticed that even when I'm outside working really hard there is no foul smelling odor that comes from me. I think it has a lot to do with the use of apple cider vinegar.

Anti-Fungal: Did you know that apple cider vinegar has properties to it that makes it anti-fungal? My poor grandfather always battled a toe fungus. Now I wish I had known to tell him to skip all of the expensive creams and just try wrapping his toe in a paper bag that had been dipped in apple cider vinegar.

Balance pH: Doctors are beginning to think in order to ward off cancer, it is important to keep our bodies balanced. Meaning we shouldn't be too neutral, but we shouldn't be overly acidic either. So how do you balance your pH? One way is to add apple cider vinegar to your routine. A spoonful of it might help to balance things out for you.

Repels Fleas: A lot of insects do not like the smell of apple cider vinegar. When our youngest was smaller, he'd always get eaten by mosquitoes. It didn't matter what I put on him. Until I tried vinegar. It actually worked. Also, I used ACV to keep flies out of our chicken coop. So it isn't far-fetched to think that ACV could keep fleas off of your family pet.

Removes Warts: Warts are really annoying. They pop up when you least expect it, and it is so easy to come in contact with the virus that gives them to you. So if you have a wart that you'd like to get rid of, try soaking it repeatedly in apple cider vinegar. It might be a natural way of removing it.

Soothes a Sunburn: This has worked well in my own experience. When I was younger I 'd play out in the sun all day. Being fair skinned (and before the time that they had sunscreen stronger than a 30spf) I'd often come in sunburned. So when I had a really bad burn, I'd often put cloth that had been dampened with apple cider vinegar on my sunburn to relieve the heat and pain.

Heals Poison Ivy: This makes perfect sense when you think about it. Vinegar has the ability to sanitize, kill bacteria, and dry things out. So the next time you have poison ivy, try rubbing some apple cider vinegar on it. It might sting a little, but it will probably dry it out too.

Gets Rid of Dandruff: I already shared above that I use apple cider vinegar in my own hair. It does condition it well, stops shampoo build up, makes your hair shiny, and yes, it even removes dandruff. So if you have the little white flaky stuff in your hair, then try rinsing your hair with some ACV and see what you think.

Gives Energy: We all get lactic acid build up in our body from time to time. This can be brought on by stress or other outside factors. Unfortunately, this causes us to feel very tired or fatigued. Thankfully, apple cider vinegar contains certain amino acids that can actually break down the lactic acid build up and restore our energy.

Aids in Healing Bruises: Have you ever had a really nasty bruise? They often get ugly and discolored which makes them stand out even worse. Well, if you don't want to walk around with a nasty bruise like that then consider placing a paper towel dampened with apple cider vinegar on the bruise. It should help the bruise to fade

Risks of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is relatively safe to consume but can cause side effects in some people.

Since apple cider vinegar’s acidity is responsible for many of its health benefits, be sure not to mix it with anything that could neutralize the acid and reduce its positive effects.

Keep in mind that vinegar’s acidity may also damage tooth enamel with regular use. Drinking through a straw and rinsing your mouth with water afterward can help prevent this.

While drinking apple cider vinegar is associated with health benefits, regularly consuming large amounts for long periods can be dangerous and may be linked to side effects, including low blood potassium levels.

If you experience uncomfortable side effects after taking apple cider vinegar, stop taking it and discuss these symptoms with a doctor.

Who should not take apple cider vinegar?

The vinegar can also interact with some drugs, such as diuretics, laxatives, and insulin. Always ask your doctor if it’s safe to use ACV with your current medications.

If you have low potassium levels (hypokalemia), too much ACV could make the condition worse. That's because large amounts can reduce potassium levels.

Avoid overusing ACV if you have kidney disease, since your kidneys might not be able to handle high levels of acid.

What Does Apple Cider Vinegar Taste Like

Apple cider vinegar has a really strong, sharp taste. It’s super tangy, kind of sour, and you can definitely taste the apple in there, but it’s not sweet like apple juice or anything. Imagine biting into a really tart apple—then crank up the sourness a few notches. That’s pretty much what it’s like.

When I first tried it, I wasn’t ready for how intense it was! It’s like a quick punch to your taste buds. If you’re drinking it straight (which I wouldn’t really recommend unless you dilute it), it almost stings a bit, kind of like biting into a lemon but more vinegary.

Some people get used to the taste over time and even like it—I’m still working on that part! But when it’s mixed into things like a salad dressing or a marinade, it adds a nice zippy flavor that balances out with other ingredients. You just gotta be careful not to use too much, or it can easily overpower whatever you’re making.

How Apple Cider Vinegar is Made

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is made through a two-step fermentation process involving apples and acetic acid-forming bacteria. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how apple cider vinegar is typically made:

Step 1: Making Apple Cider

Selection of Apples:

High-quality apples are selected for making apple cider vinegar. Various types of apples can be used, such as sweet, tart, or a combination of both.

Cleaning and Crushing:

The apples are thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt and pesticides.

The apples are then crushed or chopped into small pieces to extract the juice.

Fermentation:

The apple juice is transferred to fermentation tanks or barrels.

Natural yeasts present on the apple skins or added yeast cultures convert the sugars in the apple juice into alcohol through a process called alcoholic fermentation.

The fermentation process typically takes 3-4 weeks and results in hard apple cider with an alcohol content of approximately 5-6%.

Step 2: Making Apple Cider Vinegar

Acetic Acid Fermentation:

To convert the hard apple cider into vinegar, acetic acid-forming bacteria (Acetobacter) are introduced to the liquid.

The bacteria convert the alcohol in the hard apple cider into acetic acid through a process called acetic acid fermentation.

This fermentation process can take several weeks to months, depending on the desired acidity and flavor profile of the apple cider vinegar.

Formation of the “Mother”:

During the fermentation process, a slimy, jelly-like substance called the “mother” may form on the surface of the vinegar. The “mother” is composed of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and proteins and is a sign of natural, raw, and unfiltered apple cider vinegar.

Filtering and Bottling:

Once the desired acidity and flavor are achieved, the apple cider vinegar is filtered to remove any solids and sediment.

The filtered vinegar is then bottled and sealed for storage and distribution.

Optional Step: Aging

Some producers choose to age their apple cider vinegar for an extended period to enhance its flavor and complexity. The aging process can take several months to years and is often done in wooden barrels to impart additional flavors.

Quality Considerations:

Raw and Unfiltered: The most beneficial apple cider vinegars are raw and unfiltered, meaning they contain the “mother” and have not been pasteurized or filtered, preserving more of the vinegar’s natural properties.

Organic: Organic apple cider vinegar is made from organically grown apples without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, making it a healthier and more natural option.

By following these steps, apple cider vinegar is produced, offering a tangy and acidic vinegar with potential health benefits and culinary uses.

How To Store Apple Cider Vinegar

Proper storage of apple cider vinegar (ACV) is essential to maintain its quality, flavor, and potency over time. Here are some guidelines on how to store apple cider vinegar:

In the pantry (Cool, Dark Place) – Apple cider vinegar lasts a long time because of its high acidity, which naturally preserves it. Keeping it in the pantry or any cool, dark place is one of the best options because it protects the vinegar from light and heat, which can cause changes in its flavor and strength. I’ve kept bottles in my pantry for over a year, and they’ve stayed fresh. The darkness helps keep the vinegar’s flavor strong without degrading.

On the countertop (Daily Use) – If you’re like me and use ACV every day for cooking or health drinks, keeping it on the countertop is super convenient. Just make sure it’s not sitting near your stove or a window where direct sunlight can hit it. Too much light or heat could cause it to lose some of its tangy flavor or make it taste slightly off. I like to keep mine in a small bottle right by the olive oil for easy access when making dressings or marinades.

In the refrigerator (For Extra Freshness) – Even though ACV doesn’t need to be refrigerated to stay good, some people prefer the taste of cold vinegar when they’re drinking it or adding it to chilled recipes. I’ve tried storing mine in the fridge once, and while it doesn’t necessarily make it last longer, it gave it a crisp, fresh taste for those ACV drinks in the morning. Just be sure to keep the cap tightly sealed, as the fridge can sometimes add moisture that could dilute the vinegar over time.

In an airtight glass bottle (Best for Preservation) – Glass is ideal for storing vinegar because it doesn’t interact with the acidity the way some other materials might. When stored in a tightly sealed glass bottle, ACV will keep its flavor and potency for a long time. I’ve noticed that vinegar in glass bottles tends to taste better for longer than vinegar stored in plastic. Just make sure it’s airtight to keep out air and prevent evaporation or flavor changes.

In a plastic bottle (Okay for Short-Term Storage) – If you’ve bought your apple cider vinegar in a plastic bottle, don’t worry—this is still fine for storage. The acidity of the vinegar isn’t strong enough to damage the plastic. However, for long-term storage (over a year or so), plastic may not keep the vinegar tasting as fresh as glass. I usually try to transfer mine into a glass bottle if I’m planning to store it for a long time. But for quick, everyday use, plastic is totally okay.

Away from heat sources (Protects the Flavor) – Keeping your ACV away from heat is important. Heat can cause it to lose its sharp flavor or even break down some of the beneficial enzymes in raw, unfiltered ACV. I accidentally left a bottle near the stove once, and after a few months, it didn’t taste quite the same—it was a little dull and less tangy. Now I’m careful to store it in a cool spot far from my oven or toaster.

In small portions (For Convenience) – If you’re using ACV frequently, like for health drinks or in your beauty routine, transferring a small amount to a smaller bottle can be really handy. I’ve done this and kept the smaller jar on the counter, which saves me from opening the big bottle every time. Plus, you can keep the larger bottle in a cooler place, ensuring that it stays fresh while you use up the smaller portions.

Check the expiration date (Just in Case) – While apple cider vinegar doesn’t really “go bad” like milk or eggs, over time it can lose some of its strength and flavor. Most bottles will have a “best by” date, but I’ve found that as long as it smells and tastes normal, it’s still fine to use. I usually check the expiration date just to make sure, especially if I’ve had the bottle for a while.

Keep it sealed tightly (No Odor Absorption) – One thing I learned the hard way is that if you don’t close your vinegar bottle tightly, it can start to absorb other odors from your pantry or fridge. I once left the cap a little loose, and the vinegar started to smell faintly like spices and other pantry items—not pleasant! Always make sure the cap is screwed on tightly to keep the vinegar smelling fresh and sharp.

Storing homemade ACV (Special Care Needed) – If you’ve ever tried making your own apple cider vinegar, it requires a little more care. Homemade ACV doesn’t have the same preservatives that store-bought kinds do, so you’ll want to store it in a glass jar with a tight lid, and definitely keep it in a cool, dark spot. I tried making my own once, and while it was fun, it didn’t last quite as long as the stuff you buy in stores.

Apple cider vinegar is super low-maintenance when it comes to storage, but paying attention to these little details will help keep it tasting fresh and potent for a long time. Whether it’s for cooking, cleaning, or health benefits, it’s worth taking care of your vinegar so it lasts as long as possible!

One Final Note..

Apple cider vinegar can help manage blood sugar, improve symptoms of PCOS, and promote weight loss.

A typical dose is 1–2 tbsp. (15–30 mL) mixed with water and taken before or after meals.

Research doesn’t support claims that it can improve digestion and prevent heart disease, cancer, or infection.

Apple cider vinegar is a relatively safe supplement to consume in moderation but has not been extensively researched.

Future studies may reveal more potential uses and benefits and help clarify the most effective dosages.

Apple cider vinegar is a food ingredient that has long been used as a folk remedy. It contains modest amounts of probiotics, bacteria-killing acetic acid, and antioxidants. Some studies have found it may help people lose weight and lower their blood sugar and cholesterol levels. But we need more good-quality research into these and other potential health benefits.
