"LAUVA" Apple cider vinegar is a made from fermented apple juice, and used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys. “The mother” is what gives apple cider vinegar a cloudy appearance, because it's made up of stringy bits of probiotics and enzymes. Some apple cider vinegar products remove the mother because of that cloudy feature, but it is a key part to make this ingredient healthy.
