Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple juice, known for its versatile role in baking. It has a tangy, fruity aroma and a sharp, acidic taste that can heighten flavors in baked goods. In baking, its acidity reacts with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide, which helps doughs and batters rise, resulting in a tender crumb and light texture. ACV is beloved by home bakers for its ability to enhance the depth of flavors in breads and cakes while also being a staple in vegan and gluten-free recipes due to its plant-based origin.
