Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a type of vinegar made with crushed fermented apples, yeast, and sugar. It's used as an ingredient in foods such as salad dressings, pickles, and marinades.
For many years, people have also used it as a home remedy for everything from fighting germs to preventing heartburn. More recently, research has shown that apple cider vinegar might have some real health benefits, such as helping reduce blood sugar levels and aid weight loss.
While there's not a lot of evidence for these benefits, ACV is generally harmless – if you use it correctly. Always ask your doctor if taking apple cider vinegar (and how much) is right for you.
On the other hand, vinegar is an excellent source of: Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Phosphorus. Some types of vinegar can also be a good source of antioxidants. The darker the vinegar, the more antioxidants remain in the liquid. Darker vinegars are generally less refined than lighter vinegars, with healthy compounds in the liquid affecting taste and color.
