Description
Apple Cider Vinegar is a fermented liquid made from apples through natural fermentation, producing acetic acid and other organic compounds. It forms as apple sugars break down into alcohol and are converted into vinegar by acetic acid bacteria. This process yields enzymes, polyphenols, and organic acids that contribute to metabolic processes. Furthermore, acetic acid modulates digestive pathways and microbial balance. As a naturally occurring fermentation product, apple cider vinegar is widely used in culinary applications and wellness traditions.
