Bragg is the name known worldwide as belonging to premium organic apple cider vinegar brand. This is a must have product in your pantry for numerous health Benefits. Trusted now by millions, Bragg's has track record of producing apple cider vinegar for well over 100 years.

Paul C. Bragg, originator of Health Food Stores in America, founded the company Bragg Live Food Products. Different from the refined and distilled vinegars usually found in supermarkets, Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fresh, crushed, organically grown apples allowed to mature in wooden barrels, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. With minimal processing the final product is 100% raw, unfiltered and with no preservatives added. When mature, it contains a web-like substance, called "mother" that becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light.

The "mother" is the dark, cloudy sediment in the Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) formed from naturally occurring pectin and apple residues. It appears as molecules of protein (in the form of enzymes) connected in strand-like chains. The presence of the "mother" shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the "mother" contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not contain due to over processing, filtration and overheating. Many people believe it is the "mother" that provides the many health Benefits associated with raw, unprocessed ACV.

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar:

We've all heard the old cliche, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". This old adage is in fact very sage advice as apples are one of the oldest, most nutritious foods on earth. They are rich in potassium, a mineral many of us are deficient in, and which we need for optimum health. Just as calcium is necessary to maintain our hard tissues such as bones, potassium is critical for the support of the body's soft tissues, keeping the body's flesh and arteries soft and resilient. Raw Organic Apples that are used to make Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar contain other vital Ingredients such as enzymes that are the catalysts for all metabolic processes and that naturally stimulate good health. Raw enzymes derived from whole food are the most potent and easily absorbed. In addition to being a therapeutic elixir that delivers important nutrients, Apple Cider Vinegar is a powerful whole body detoxifier which prepares the body for self-healing.

How do I use Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is versatile in the kitchen. From salads to pickles to drinks, ACV can be easily incorporated into your day.

Usage:

• Salad dressings: simply sprinkle apple cider vinegar and your favourite oil onto a salad, or combine 2 parts oil with 1 part apple cider vinegar in a jar, add desired herbs, seasonings, or sweeteners and shake to combine. One of our favourite combinations is apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a dash of honey.
• Marinades: while traditionally used to flavour and tenderize meat, marinades can also be used in vegan cooking to flavour tofu and tempeh. Marinades usually consist of vinegar, salt, and sugar. Apple cider vinegar provides acetic acid to break down the food's surface which allows the flavours of the marinade to penetrate.
• Pickling: all you need is vinegar, salt, and sugar! For a "quick pickle" brine, combine equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, then add 1 tablespoon each salt and sugar per cup. Customize with herbs and spices (like thyme, dill, and rosemary), crushed garlic cloves, or whole spices like peppercorns and mustard seeds.
• Add a splash to cooked foods, like braised kale or collard greens, to draw out their flavour.
• Make shrubs or tonics: a shrub is a concentrated syrup that combines fruit, sugar, and vinegar. The result is a sweet, acidic mixer that can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of mixed drinks. Also called "drinking vinegars", shrubs are a great way to consume apple cider vinegar for its health benefits!
• Add to water: 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar any time to help stimulate the digestive tract.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar supplements provide the same health benefits as Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar?

Purchasing apple cider vinegar supplements can be confusing, as labels do not always communicate the product's acetic acid content. Studies indicate that a daily dose of 750 -1500 mg of acetic acid are associated with key health benefits such as maintaining healthy weight, healthy blood sugar levels and healthy cholesterol levels.
