Apple cider vinegar is vinegar made from fermented apple juice, used in dressings, marinades, pickles and baking, and also taken in small amounts as a wellness drink. On this page it comes as liquid vinegar in bottles, as capsules and gummies, and as ready to drink wellness shots. The first decision is the form, because cooking needs the liquid vinegar, while capsules and shots are supplements.
Filtered or unfiltered is the next question. Unfiltered, raw apple cider vinegar contains the cloudy mother, strands of yeast and bacteria from fermentation, and is often preferred by people who drink it, while filtered vinegar is clear and has a cleaner, sharper taste for cooking. Both work in recipes.
Acidity and use come next. Most cooking vinegars have a similar acidity, which matters for safe pickling, so follow pickling recipes exactly. When drinking it, dilute the vinegar in plenty of water, since undiluted vinegar can damage tooth enamel and irritate the throat. Health claims made for apple cider vinegar are often stronger than the evidence, so talk to a doctor before taking it regularly, especially if you take medication or have diabetes.
Size and container matter. Among the 7 products that list liquid volume, most fall between 17 and 46 fl oz, and 32 fl oz is typical. Glass bottles are common for unfiltered vinegar, while large plastic jugs suit pickling and cleaning. Vinegar keeps for a long time in a cool cupboard.
Before buying, check whether the vinegar is filtered or unfiltered, the form, the size, the acidity on the label, and for capsules and gummies, the dose and the other ingredients. Keep vinegar away from marble and natural stone, which it etches. For salad dressings, mix it with oil, mustard and a little honey.
