apple cider vinegar

Sour preserving liquid

Apple cider vinegar is vinegar made from fermented apple juice, amber-colored and mildly fruity.

It's a staple in salad dressings and marinades.

Folk medicine and wellness culture attribute various health benefits to it—drinking it diluted, using it as a hair rinse, or taking it in capsules—though scientific support for most claims is limited.
