Let's face it, apple cider vinegar doesn't taste good at all. While not the best tasting, it has been found to offer several benefits, but how do you know if it can benefit you? Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries as a home remedy and in recent years it has become a more common supplement for your health. It’s most well known to help with blood sugar control and weight loss. 

What is Apple Cider Vinegar and How Its Made

First of all, what is apple cider vinegar (ACV)? Apple cider vinegar is made from the fermented juice of crushed apples, by combining crushed apples and yeast. It contains significant quantities of acetic acid, making up around 5–6% creating that sour taste familiar with ACV. It’s classified as a “weak acid” but still has fairly strong acidic properties when it is concentrated. In addition to acetic acid, ACV contains trace amounts of vitamins and minerals.
