FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Like Alton Brown (Food Network), I dig multi-tasker kitchen gadgets. But I’m beyond batty when it comes to multi-tasker foods. You know the ones. They serve more than one purpose; they give their all. Apple cider vinegar is one of those. It rocks.
While Bragg’s organic vinegar has dominated the vinegar landscape for decades, there is room in the vinegar neighborhood for a newcomer. Field Day brand makes an unfiltered apple cider vinegar that is also organic. (Check them out to see their other delicious organic foods.)
Apple cider vinegar has hundreds – maybe thousands? – of uses, and it’s been doing its multi-purpose thing for…well, for a very long time. Let’s just call it ancient. I’ve distilled my reasons for loving apple cider vinegar into 12, but there’s so much more to like and love about this venerable product made from apples.
Internal good health
1 – It’s packed with complex carbs and dietary fiber, the soluble kind which “talks to” or interacts with your body. As Emily Thacker puts it in her The Vinegar Book, “When vinegar is made from fresh, natural apples it contains a healthy dose of pectin. Pectin is a soluble fiber. It dissolves in water, making it very available for the body to use. …it slows down the absorption of food and liquid in the intestines. Therefore, it stays in the body longer than an insoluble fiber.”
2 – Talk about contributing to your good health! Says Emily, “Apple cider vinegar supplies balanced dose of vital amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that both the mind and body need for good health.” Minerals like phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, boron, iron, silicon, and more.
2 – Drink a glass of water with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar before you eat. Good for the waistline.
3 – Skip the high calorie salad dressings available at your grocery store. Vinegar, olive oil, a sprinkle of dried oregano make an excellent, a delicious, dressing for your salad greens.
4 – Do legumes make you…gassy? Next time you cook a pot of dried beans, add vinegar (a tablespoon?) to the cooking water. The beans will be more digestible…and you’ll be less gassy.
External good health
5 – Dip a clean cotton ball in a teaspoon of vinegar and dab on your armpits. You’ll stay odor-free for hours. Repeat, as necessary.
6 – Soak a cloth in apple cider vinegar and apply it to sunburns. Takes out the ouch. (Somebody told me it brings on a tan after it ends the pain and redness, but I was never so lucky.)
7 – To prevent sunburn in the first place, Emily recommends rubbing equal parts of olive oil and vinegar on your skin before heading outdoors.
8 – To ensure richly colored, plentiful hair as the years pile on: Start your day with a non-alcoholic cocktail of apple cider vinegar, honey, and blackstrap molasses; four teaspoons of each in a glass of water. Yum!
9 – Help banish sore throats by gargling with warm water plus one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
Windows, mirrors, cutting boards
10 – Water and vinegar – I use one-quarter cup of vinegar to one quart of water – added to a spray bottle makes a terrific cleaner. Spray, wipe off right away.
11 – Use full-strength vinegar on cutting boards to disinfect and prevent mold.
And last, certainly not least, this: Vinegar brings out the creative, the unique, in people. Ron and Nancy Leasman, for instance. They own Leatherwood Vinegary in Central Minnesota. Ron makes wine, then vinegar, and Nancy grows herbs. Some vinegars are fruit-only; others contain her herbs. (Nancy penned the fascinating story of their business in Leatherwood Vinegary, A Winery Gone Sour. You can buy the book on Amazon.)
You may have heard of “the mother.” Ever wonder where it comes from, what it’s doing in your bottle of apple cider vinegar? According to the folks at Bragg, “the best part of the vinegar has not been ruined or destroyed.” That’s the mother. Now you know.
Now that you know a smidge more about this multi-tasker all-star, I just have to ask: Have you fallen in love with apple cider vinegar yet?
