While apple cider vinegar has been used since ancient Greek times as a potential health remedy, it shot to popularity in the U.S. in the last five years, as it was touted as a potential weight-loss tool when sipped by the spoonful before meals. While that strategy has yet to be proven effective, apple cider vinegar can have a serious impact on something else: your teeth. Sipping it straight may strip the enamel off your teeth. But you can still enjoy the tart, bright flavor of apple cider vinegar without the worry of tooth damage. Indeed, apple cider vinegar recipes are often majorly flavorful — and pack some hidden health benefits by way of B vitamins, vitamin C, and acetic acid. Put the affordable, low-calorie flavor-booster to terrific use in these sweet and savory apple cider vinegar recipes to get your dose in a healthy and delicious (and tooth-friendly!) way.
