Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has moved far beyond the kitchen pantry. Once known mainly as a salad dressing ingredient and pickling liquid, it’s now widely used in homes for cleaning, food prep, gardening, and personal care routines.
But unlike many viral “miracle uses,” some apple cider vinegar applications are actually grounded in chemistry and practical results.
ACV contains acetic acid, trace minerals, organic acids, and plant compounds from fermented apples.
