So here's a question, will apple cider vinegar actually break your fast?

Because it does have carbohydrate.

One tablespoon of apple cider vinegar has 0.01 grams of carbohydrates.

So it's not going to really break the fast more than a nanosecond.

But if you're consuming basalmic vinegar, three grams of carbs, rice vinegar, six grams

of carbs.

So these two comparatively have a lot more than apple cider vinegar.

But if you're using just a tiny bit on your saladressing, I think it's going to be okay.

But what is vinegar?

Vinegar is acetic acid.

There's some other things in there, but it's mainly acetic acid.

Now, where does this come from?

It comes from acetic acid bacteria.

So this bacteria ferments the carbs, the apple carbohydrates.

So it's breaking down the carbohydrates with certain enzymes and eventually turning it

into vinegar.

So fermentation is basically the breakdown of carbs, sugar, or alcohol by bacteria.

The Latin derivation of the word vinegar means sour wine.

And the reason why they add sulfites to the wine is to prevent this bacteria from turning

the alcohol into vinegar because sulfites suppress this bacteria.

And so I took this bushel basket of crab apples through the cornfield up to this hill where
