If you've ever had unfiltered vinegar you may have noticed a film develop that can make the vinegar look cloudy. This film is known as mother of vinegar and is the result of bacteria fermentation. Some people discard this substance; however, the "mother" is often regarded as the most nutritious part by many health food advocates. Mother of vinegar can form in any unpasteurized vinegar, but it's commonly associated with apple cider vinegar.
RICH SOURCE OF IRON
A study appearing in the February 2015 edition of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition determined the bio-active components of mother vinegar. Upon evaluation, the authors discovered that mother of vinegar is high in iron. Iron is necessary for the body to create the protein hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood.
