Rawsome - Apple Cider Vinegar naturally fermented from organic Spanish apples - 500 ml

Why buy

Rawsome Vinegars are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and can help support digestion and immunity. You can choose from two types of apple cider vinegar - pure apple and the other one that is enriched with two other amazing ingredients, namely organic ginger and organic turmeric.

Personally, we absolutely adore the refreshing stronger taste of the flavored kind. As a pre-meal juice, it's an absolute blast to prepare the digestive system. Of course, we alternate the types, but we just want to write to you so that you are not afraid of the flavored version at all.

The Rawsome brand is the Spanish answer to the better known American brand Bragg, which we have also been selling and exclusively importing for about 5 years, but as the product is constantly getting more expensive and the brand is no longer owned by the Bragg family but by a corporation, we wanted to offer you an equally good alternative, if not better, and local from Europe.

When the producer Robert approached us, and sent us a few pieces to try, we fell in love - we've been drinking vinegar for many years, long before the influencers made it the discovery of the year (cringe). His specialty is only making vinegar from fruit, and in addition to apples, he has also created a delicious pomegranate vinegar. Newly, raspberry vinegar and rice vinegar are in the pipeline.

If you prefer the milder taste of coconut vinegar, we have the best for you direct from the Sri Lankan producer, Ceylon Kokonati.

Positive effects of apple cider vinegar

There are several studies that have tested the health benefits of apple cider vinegar consumption - always keep in mind that the quality of apples, organic farming and production definitely matters.

You will not willingly consume cheap apple cider vinegar made from waste - rotten and old apples, pesticide spraying, refining, short fermentation where there is not even a 'mother in the bottom of the bottle', etc. You can buy such vinegar from cheap brands, usually in plastic, and it is only suitable for weed control.

Blood sugar regulation

Apple cider vinegar can increase sensitivity to insulin, a hormone responsible for transporting sugar from the blood to the tissues where it can be used as fuel. Maintaining high levels can cause insulin resistance.

To keep blood sugar levels stable, try diluting one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and consume before meals. In addition, be sure to limit your carbohydrate intake, increase your consumption of fiber and protein-rich foods.

Cholesterol levels

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that can build up in the arteries and cause them to narrow and harden. High blood cholesterol levels put a strain on the heart, forcing it to work harder to push blood through the body. Apple cider vinegar can promote heart health by helping to keep cholesterol levels low.

In addition to incorporating one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into your diet every day, other ways to quickly lower cholesterol include minimizing your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates, including plenty of healthy fats in your diet, and eating several servings of fish per week.

Skin health

Apple cider vinegar does not only affect internal health. It can help with acne and reduce scarring.

Certain strains of bacteria often contribute to acne. Vinegar is known for its antibacterial properties and is effective against many strains of harmful bacteria.

It also contains specific ingredients such as acetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid and citric acid that inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a specific strain of acne-causing bacteria.

These beneficial ingredients can also reduce scarring. A study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology showed that treating acne scars with lactic acid for three months resulted in improved texture, pigmentation and appearance of the treated skin, as well as lightening of the scars.

Other effective home remedies for acne include adding probiotic foods to your diet, using healing masks and toners, and keeping your skin well hydrated.

Blood pressure

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. It makes the heart work harder, causing the heart muscle to weaken and deteriorate over time. Apple cider vinegar helps improve blood pressure by keeping the heart healthy and strong.

Other natural ways to lower blood pressure include increasing magnesium and potassium intake, increasing fiber intake, and replacing salt and processed foods with whole foods.

Symptoms of acid reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD or acid reflux, is a disease characterized by the backflow of acid from the stomach into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, burping and nausea.

Acid reflux is often the result of low stomach acid levels. Consuming apple cider vinegar will help relieve the symptoms of reflux by bringing more acid into the digestive tract and preventing it from flowing back.
