Made from the juice of whole apples that have undergone a fermentation process until their sugars turn to vinegar, apple cider vinegar has been used since 5000BC as a tonic and beverage.
Fermented foods have been helping people stay healthy since the dawn of time. Many of our favourite foods and drinks are fermented such as cheese, wine, chocolate, coffee and tea to name a few.
