Coconut Cider Vinegar Vs. Apple Cider Vinegar

What is Coconut Vinegar? Most of us have heard about the wonders of Apple Cider Vinegar and how beneficial daily consumption can be for health. There exist a tropical type of vinegar encompassing the exact same benefits on top of having a low glycemic index and a nice mild flavour. Say hello to the new Coconut Cider Vinegar ☺

Coconut Cider Vinegar is similar to other types of fermented vinegars, like its apple counterpart, except that it contains a more impressive nutritional profile. That is because coconut trees are often grown in extremely nutrient rich soil, which contributes to enhance the nutritional qualities of its fruit – the coconut.

Coconut cider vinegar can be made either from coconut water or from the sap of the coconut flowers. There is both a plethora of additional health benefits, as well as a palatable difference between coconut vinegar made from the “sap” of the coconut tree, and that made from the water of mature coconuts. Diluted forms of vinegar made from coconut water (commonly known as “purong tuba”), often retail for cheaper and serve for cleaning purposes. However, coconut vinegar made from coconut flower nectar, produces a highly nutrient-rich liquid that provides a multitude of health benefits when consumed.

The Coconut Magic Difference

When it comes to consuming vinegar, nothing compares to 100% pure, raw, unfiltered and unpasteurized coconut vinegar made from coconut meat. Our naturally fermented coconut vinegar is unique as it is the only vinegar made from the cider of the coconut flesh. The process involves using a by-product from the extraction of our virgin coconut oil, which is part of our supplier's zero-waste production process. Better for the environment, better for us! Our organic coconut cider vinegar encompasses the synergistic benefits of the amino acids from both the coconut sap and the organic defatted & high protein coconut milk.

Like apple cider vinegar, our vinegar has nothing added during the fermentation process, allowing it to retain, and even enhance, the nutritional properties of the coconut. This forms what is known as the ‘mother’ – a rich substance full of living probiotics, enzymes, and other health promoting cofactors. Our coconut cider vinegar has a stronger sourness, a natural truly delicious taste and is the first choice for health-conscious consumers.

Health Benefits

Exactly like apple cider vinegar, coconut vinegar is considered a functional ‘super food’ because it has healing benefits beyond its nutritional content. When compared to apple cider vinegar, however, a coconut simply has more nutrients than an apple, thus offering a naturally higher source of minerals and phytonutrients.
