Does anyone here regularly consume apple cider vinegar

[cilla4progress]

For its many purported health benefits?

And in what form?

TIA

1. Always get the kind with mother.

I take a tablespoon before I go to bed. It tastes horrible so I dilute it with a sweet liquid of some sort.

8. I've known people who can swill vinegar straight

but I'm certainly not one of them.

One way I love it is in potato salad, cutting up the hot potatoes and sprinkling them with cider vinegar before they go into the fridge to cool. Yes, it seems to make a huge difference to the final salad.

Another way is in switchel. My own switchel is probably weaker on the vinegar and stronger on the sweetener than traditional recipes, but I make it the way I like it and it's incredibly refreshing on a hot day and a damned sight easier than lemonade.

I also use it in most salad dressings. I've tried all sorts of vinegars, but cider vinegar is my favorite--a little fruity without being overpowering like raspberry vinegar. I find I can use less sweetener to balance it than I've had to use in wine vinegars.


This switchel recipe looks interesting, fresh ginger and maple syrup. The proprtions of vinegar to water is about what I use: https://food52.com/recipes/37893-switchel It doesn't take much vinegar to get the tartness and flavor.

9. Cider vinegar capsules for me.

10. My wife drinks braggs

I asked her about it, every day she drinks about 3-4 ounces, diluted with the same amount of water.

11. Thanks for all the ideas!

I got capsules and I'm wondering / hoping they are as effective as the real thing!

12. I do but

the studies on its purported benefits are mixed. I take it just in case it’s helpful.

13. Of course - as with everything (mixed)!

I guess I'm like you. Just to be on the safe side ...

Gut health, mostly.
