Matěj Jirout and Libor Novotný

ProductionVinegar from apple juice (apple cider vinegar) is a special healthy natural kind of vinegar, which is made in two-steps process. In the first step you need to crush apples (apple cider) to yeast. Then it ferment the sugars into alcohol. The second step - you add bacteries to the alcohol and after that it ferments again and turns into acetic acid.

HistoryJarvis, M.D., was published in 1958 that the medicinal use of apple cider vinegar took off. Jarvis recommended apple cider vinegar as a cure-all, explaining that it was unusually rich in potassium (although compared to other food sources, it is not). He said that mixing the apple cider vinegar with honey (a mixture he called "honegar") enhanced the healing power of the vinegar.

Jarvis also wrote that apple cider vinegar could destroy harmful bacteria in the digestive tract and recommended as a digestive tonic to be consumed with meals.

In the 1970s, apple cider vinegar became popular once again, this time with the help of proponents who had read Jarvis' book and suggested that apple cider vinegar (along with kelp, vitamin B6, and lecithin) could help people lose weight by speeding metabolism and burning fat at a faster rate.
