Melrose Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar is a type of vinegar made by the fermentation of apple cider. During this process, sugar in the apple cider is broken down by bacteria and yeast into alcohol and then into vinegar. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, lactic, citric and malic acids. Melrose supplies a choice of two Apple Cider Vinegars made from whole ripened apples: our double strength Apple Cider Vinegar with 8% acetic acid and our Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with 6% acetic acid.

Apple Cider Vinegar contains pectin, trace minerals, potassium, beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Its acidic content is the reason it acts as a germ fighter and is used in many foods as a natural preservative against spoilage. In order to maintain this nutritional value, Melrose Apple Cider Vinegar is unpasteurized and unfiltered. The natural sediment that you see in our bottles is the true sign of raw and unfiltered vinegar. This sediment is a natural fibre produced by the vinegar bacteria. It is also known as the "mother" and can be eaten, or if you prefer, can be broken up by shaking the bottle. Commercial apple cider vinegar is filtered and pasteurised which destroys any enzymes present.

In order for the body to break down fats, protein and carbohydrates, the body is required to produce bile salts, enzymes and acids. If these processes are inhibited, incomplete digestion occurs. If poor digestion is occurring, your body has to call on other processes and thus diverts energy from other activities. This is why some people feel tired after a meal. Their bodies are having great difficulty digesting what they have eaten and energy is being diverted. If digestion is incomplete, the body becomes sluggish, leading the way to an overweight condition, and lack of physical and mental energy.
