Apple Cider Vinegar- Organic or normal?

[Stacy TheLady]

Hey All,

I want to invest in a large bottle of ACV. Should i purchase Organic ACV or the Normal one? erplexed

Whats the difference between the two?

 

[isabella09]

I have organic ACV but to be honest, I don’t really know if there is a difference between the two.

Organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar is best. the unfiltered stuff has natural protein enzyme molecules (according to the side of the bottle, i'm looking at it now), so it's more healthful. i think it's also a bit sweeter and slightly less acidic than regular vinegar, which makes it great for consumption, and for use in hair and facial care.

I use organic acv with the "mother" in it internally (healthier) but the regular one I use on my hair.

Ditto!

I have only tried the organic raw kind but I read that the normal one is harsher on the skin

it depends on what you're using it for I guess

Where can I purchase the Organic stuff, without having to order on line?

Aggie, What's the "Mother"?, I am trying this ACV rinse thing soon and just want to be sure I get the right stuff.

Most HFS carry it, especially the smaller non-chain style ones. HTH.

Any whole foods store should have it Leesh.

The mother is that cloudy substance that floats around in organic raw organic unfiltered vinegar. This cloudy substance is the result of what happens when alcohol is being turned into vinegar.

Here's a little more explanation of it:


[SIZE=+0]The Mother[/SIZE]
Homemade, or good quality vinegar, will have a thick, filmy substance floating in it. This is called the mother, which consists of cellulose as a result of interaction between the bacteria and the alcohol. Because the mother is a concentration of Acetobacter bacteria, it cannot be disturbed during the process and must float on the top to feed on oxygen. If it is moved, it will sink to the bottom and die thereby halting the vinegar process.

At one time, it was thought that this substance acted similar to a yogurt starter, but thoughts have changed. It is now known that the mother is the result of a process rather than the initiator, changing alcohol into vinegar. Since there are countless members of this family, no one particular strain can be counted on to make only one kind of vinegar.

While it may take several months for homemade vinegar to complete, industrial vinegar has speeded up the process by adding more surface area for oxygen to reach the bacteria. Unfortunately, vinegar manufacturers usually filter out the mother and any sediment to make their product more aesthetically pleasing. Doing so robs the product of its healthful qualities, which can be compared to refined flour versus whole grain flour.

All I can say is Thank You So Much, I am amazed at how You drop that intillectual Bomb, You are on Point, I Love having Sisters like You to run to, I am elated, Thank You again Darlin!

Would You Ladies say, because of this, would this one be good to do the rinses with?

Do it. Changed my life. I use it for acne, the organic one (Bragg's). I got it at Whole foods. I haven't needed Neutrogena since.

Leesh, I have used it for rinses before but I figure since the acidity is the same in the regular one as it is in the organic one (that happens to be cheaper), then I switched to using the regular one on my hair. The porosity control/shine results are still the same for far less money.

Now when it comes to my body internally, it's organic with the "mother" in it all the way.
