The Ultimate Guide to Organic Vinegars (and Why You Should Know ‘The Mother’)
Why Vinegar Deserves a Spot in Your Wellness Routine
Organic vinegars do more than just flavour your salad. They bring a host of benefits to your kitchen, your health, and your gut microbiome—especially when they contain ‘The Mother.’
What is ‘The Mother’ in Vinegar?
If you've ever seen murky strands floating at the bottom of your vinegar bottle, don't throw it away! That's The Mother—a natural biofilm made from good bacteria, yeast, and cellulose.
It's found in raw, unfiltered vinegars and provides:
-
Prebiotics for gut health
-
Vitamin B & Iron for energy
-
Phenolic compounds (antioxidants) that fight inflammation
Look for vinegars that proudly list “With the Mother” on the label to get the full benefits.
Below are products we carry containing 'the Mother':
- BRAGG Organic Apple Cider Vinegar 473ml
- EVERY BIT ORGANIC RAW Rice Wine Vinegar With The Mother - 500ml
- EVERY BIT ORGANIC RAW Pomegranate Vinegar With The Mother - 500ml
🍎 Types of Vinegars & Their Best Uses
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
ACV has grown popular for good reason. Made from crushed, fermented apples, it supports digestion, weight management, and heart health. It’s a pantry staple for vinaigrettes and wellness tonics.
Balsamic Vinegar
Thick, rich, and deeply flavoured, balsamic vinegar is made from freshly crushed grapes (including skins and seeds). It’s best drizzled on grilled veggies, fruits like strawberries, or added to a glaze.
Red Wine Vinegar
Red wine vinegar is punchy and bold. Often found in Mediterranean cooking, it lifts stews, soups, and dressings with a sharper tang.
White Wine Vinegar
Lighter than red wine vinegar, this one is perfect for delicate recipes, pickling, and making your own sauces from scratch.
Pomegranate Vinegar
Subtly sweet and tart, this vinegar is both a taste enhancer and antioxidant-rich option. Ideal for fruity vinaigrettes or glazing meats.
Rice Wine Vinegar
A favourite in Asian cuisine, its mild tang is great for dipping sauces, rice seasoning, or fusion dressings.
