16 Reasons Why You Need Vinegar in Your Storage

vinegar

Vinegar is a great multi-purpose item. It can be used for preserving food, as a condiment, a salad dressing, medicinally, as a disinfectant, and as a cleaner. There are numerous types on the market, but for the purposes of this post, but we will only consider white distilled vinegar and apple cider vinegar.

White vinegar will store almost indefinitely if tightly sealed in a glass or plastic bottle with a plastic lid. The acid it contains will destroy enamel-coated metal caps over time. White vinegar works well for pickling and most other uses.

Apple cider vinegar is sold in two types: one is a cider flavored distilled acetic acid, the other is a true cider vinegar fermented from hard cider. Fermented apple cider vinegar will occasionally form a cloudy substance. This is not harmful and can be filtered out prior to use or consumed. The cloudy substance is called Mother of Vinegar and can be used to make more vinegar. If it starts to smell bad, throw it away. If you are using it for any type of medical purpose, make sure you get real apple cider vinegar and not the imitation.

  1. For Arthritis, take 2 spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of water several times daily.
