Cider Vinegar - For What Ails You

Vinegar: is there anything it can’t do? It starts raging fires in craftily wielded skillets over a once placid flame, flavours once flavourless salads and sauces, in some cases can be used as a household cleaning product and is frequently utilised in its plight in the works as a wonderful preservative alternative to salt that has lasted throughout the ages.

Truth be told, your sour grapes make a great flavour to crepes (rhyme unintended) But have you ever heard of the uses of apple cider vinegar in a broad variety of roles around the house, from disinfecting grazes and stirring cocktails to a fundamental role in dieting?

Personally, such an idea is as foreign to me as the notion of flying saucers dripping with spaghetti, but in the light of a naturally inquisitive nature, I decided to see just how useful it really can be.

Fleas and ticks beware, gout and sickness be fair, shine and lustre come back to my hair, night frights and boogeymen return to their lairs and best of all, calorie busters come to task with one of the more interesting variety of uses from a single product.

So if you haven’t already, see what thousands of hits search engines yield to this simple product that has ailed us since (and possibly even before) the earliest stages of ‘Modern Europe’. In the meantime, I will continue to add to my ever-growing vinegar library on the kitchen bench.
