💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Dilute a tablespoon in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it through a straw ten minutes before a starchy main meal; this may help slow carbohydrate absorption and soften the rise in blood sugar after eating.
Best preparation methods
Use it in everyday salad dressings with extra virgin olive oil and garlic, for a fresh, tangy flavour that replaces added salt and ready-made dressings.
Important Nutritional Note
Never drink apple cider vinegar undiluted, to protect your tooth enamel and the lining of your oesophagus; people with an active stomach ulcer should avoid it on an empty stomach.
