Trader Joe's Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Perhaps when you think of Apple Cider Vinegar, you think of salad dressing. You wouldn’t be wrong to do so—Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with extra virgin olive oil makes for one snazzy dressing. And it’s also useful in baking and sauce-making. But did you know that some folks sip this stuff? Yup, true story. For centuries, Apple Cider Vinegar has been lauded by devotees as a kind of “miracle tonic.”

Now, we can’t speak to whether or not it can perform anything even resembling a miracle, but here is a claim that we will make: new Trader Joe’s Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is unpasteurized, unfiltered, and—to the delight of customers everywhere—contains “the mother.” Not to be confused with your mother (who is none of the things we are about to describe), the mother is the goopy, globby, strand-like layer seen at the bottom of the bottle that contains a multitude of enzymes and gut-friendly bacteria. As anyone touting Apple Cider Vinegar as a “miracle tonic” will tell you, the mother is where it’s at—a fermented mecca, if you will.
