See our other articles on how to Love your gut with our Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, or your questions answered in Organic Apple Cider Vinegar FAQ’s.
The Daily Tonic
Promote good gut health each morning with 1-4 teaspoons into a large glass of water in the morning. Don’t take it straight! – dilution is good. As apple cider vinegar is acidic, it can be harsh on your oesophagus if you take it as a shot.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a prebiotic that promotes digestive health with its gut-friendly bacteria and pectin. Prebiotics are the compounds that promote the growth of probiotics, that are excellent for overall gut health. It also contains ‘the mother’ – a naturally occurring sediment within the bottle that is a storehouse of important minerals, essential amino acids and enzymes.
The Daily Tonic can help ease digestion, regulate blood pressure, balance cholesterol, boost nutrient absorption and increase your energy levels.

The Lightest, Fluffiest Pancakes
Weekend treats! Light and fluffy pancakes using Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
2 tablespoons Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
¾ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 free-range egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Combine Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with milk in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Then whisk egg and butter into “soured” milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until any lumps are gone.
Heat a lightly oiled, non-stick pan over a medium heat. Pour a large spoonful of batter into the pan, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip, and cook until lightly browned on the other side.
Barbecue Sauce for Pulled Pork
This vinegar-based barbecue sauce is great with pulled pork, and a healthier alternative to shop-bought barbecue sauces.
2 cups Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon tomato sauce or ketchup
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of chilli flakes
1 teaspoon of ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Place all ingredients in a pan. Cook on your stove top on a medium heat. Bring to a boil. Whisk together until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
Pour sauce into a jar or bottle. For best results, refrigerate one day before serving. Shake well before serving.
Store the sauce in a mason jar. Old salad dressing bottles are also great for storing your sauce. You can serve immediately, but this sauce is best made 24 hours or more in advance.

Taste the difference. Some brands of Apple Cider Vinegar can be tough to take. Ours is made from delicious, BioGro certified, organically grown New Zealand Apples. It’s then aged for 12 months for a noticeably smoother taste.
“Absolutely delicious – This is by far the nicest ACV I’ve ever tasted.”
