What is ACV and what are the benefits of apple cider vinegar? Apple cider vinegar is, in simple terms, fermented apple juice. Apples are pressed, and the juice is collected and stored for a period of time to allow for fermentation. During the fermentation process, malic and acetic acids are naturally produced; these give it a sour flavor. Traditionally, apple cider vinegar was used as a type of “alternative medicine” in Africa, and it was considered essential to daily life in Japan and China. Its use is traced back to the 8th century BCE (Khakpour, 2015).
