Cider Vinegar

Cider vinegar, also known as apple cider vinegar (pronunciation: /ˈsaɪdər vɪnɪɡər/), is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color.

Etymology

The term "cider vinegar" is derived from the English words "cider" and "vinegar". "Cider" comes from the Old French cisdre, itself derived from the Latin sicera, meaning "intoxicating drink". "Vinegar" comes from the Old French vyn egre, meaning "sour wine".

Production

Cider vinegar is produced by fermentation of apple cider. The process involves two steps: first, the sugars in the cider are fermented by yeast to produce alcohol; then, the alcohol is oxidized by Acetobacter bacteria to produce acetic acid, the primary ingredient in vinegar.

Uses

Cider vinegar is commonly used in cooking, especially in pickling processes, vinaigrettes, and other salad dressings. It is also popular in traditional medicine, with claims that it can help with a variety of health issues.
