What is the Mother in Apple Cider Vinegar?

The leading brands of ACV will contain "The Mother".  The Mother is a cobweb like, amino acid based substance found in unprocessed, unfiltered vinegar. This indicates it is of the finest quality and is usually settled at the bottom of the bottle so it is always worth giving the bottle a decent shake before use. It is "The Mother" that is thought to contain a lot of the health benefits associated to ACV.

How did Bragg start?

Bragg is the result of a life time of crusading the word of good health worldwide. Founded by Paul C. Bragg in 1912, who as teenager was crippled by TB, Bragg developed an eating, breathing and exercising program to rebuild Paul's body into an ageless, tireless, pain-free citadel of glowing, super health. By 1920 Bragg opened the first health restaurants & first health spas in America, as well as a health food store in Los Angeles. And upon being the first to introduce both pineapple and tomato juice to America consumers, Bragg moved in to live health food production, where it still thrives today.

Apple Cider Vinegar has been highly prized throughout history. In 400 B.C. the great Hippocrates, used it for its amazing health qualities. But what is it? Simply putting it, ACV is mainly apple juice, but a fermentation process allows for yeast to be added, which turns the sugar in the juice into alcohol and gives it a level of acetic acid that may be responsible for its purported health benefits.
