The Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is probably the best thing you can keep in your pantry! It has such a wide variety of uses from health benefits such as regulating diabetes to treating the common cold or flu to beauty benefits such as a skin toner to treat acne and minimize wrinkles….and so much more!

Why Every Survivalist Should Have ACV in Their Pantry

And here’s a plus! Apple cider vinegar doesn’t expire like other products. It’s a very acidic substance and it will keep for at least 5 years provided that it’s stored properly in a cool and dry place such as a pantry. Please note: a bottle of apple cider vinegar should be tightly sealed when not in use. Any contaminants (even dust particles) that can get into the bottle might cause the liquid to deteriorate faster.
