Always choose unfiltered and organic
For health purposes, avoid the perfectly clear and clean varieties found at most grocery stores. Instead, look for white vinegar that is organic and unfiltered, and with a slight murkiness. You may even notice a cobweb-like substance floating in it. This is known as “mother,” which indicates that your vinegar is of good quality. Some manufacturers filter and pasteurize their product before bottling to prevent the “mother” from forming. It’s considered harmless and extremely beneficial for gut health. Enjoy!
