Biona Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 5L

Excellent quality, raw, certified organic apple cider vinegar. Great taste with several health benefits. Going to buy it again. Thanks to the Seller. :)

I initially started buying Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in small glass bottles from the supermarket, but the cost adds up fast. Switching to this 5L Biona bulk pack was the best decision I’ve made.This is the real deal. It is raw, unfiltered, and you can clearly see the "Mother" floating at the bottom (just remember to give the container a good shake before decanting to get the good stuff!). It has that proper cloudy look and a naturally sharp-yet-sweet taste that beats the shop-bought versions hands down.How I Use It:Health Routine: I drink a mixture of this and water daily. It’s an acquired taste, but once you get used to it, you really miss it if you stop. I definitely feel less bloated and more energetic when I stick to my routine. I actually noticed that when I stopped taking it over winter, I felt sluggish and put some weight back on. Since getting back on it, I feel lighter and my energy is up.In the Kitchen: It’s fantastic for pickling (I made some gluten-free pickled eggs that turned out great) and it tastes amazing on chips or as a salad dressing with a little oil and honey.It is a fantastic pantry staple. 5L lasts for ages and it saves so much money compared to buying small bottles. Whether you use it for pH balance, weight management, or just on your chips, I highly recommend it.

Love this, excellent Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, it helps me with my arthritis, which I was diagnosed with last year. I am only 32 but apparently it can happen in middle age or even from 18 onwards (although rare), but not limited to the elderly. Mine is osteoarthritis (caused from wear and tear of the cartilage of joints). I read about many claims and a book about Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural remedy for Arthritis. I started using it last year and it has really helped with the pain. It was a very slow process and slow improvement at first, but now I don't wake up with or sleep with pain anymore or feel any pain during the day, unless I skip the daily dose of apple cider vinegar with water mixture 3 x a day, a glass before each meal (after 4 hours you will start feel the pain coming back if you skip a dose of the 3 x a day mixture). You must not skip a does (if going out, you can put a desert spoonful of apple vinegar in a bottle of mineral water, preferably a glass bottle and take it with you, so you don't forget or if can’t make the mixture when out, it’s very handy!) It has helped me a lot and has given me hope for a more normal life, free from long-term medication and pain. Although it’s not a cure to completely cure your arthritis, it keeps your arthritis pain at bay, if you keep taking it daily as recommended. When I first started using it, it took about a couple weeks for the pain to subside, until I rarely have pain now (it only returns if I miss the daily recommended dose of 3 x a day) it’s something that you must keep taking if you want to slow down your arthritis (the damage to joints will only get worse over the years). The apple cider vinegar will help reduce the pain at the beginning when you first start taking it for a couple months, until you notice there is no more pain over the next few months of using it (you must not give up as it is a very slow process and takes time to see/feel improvement and depending on how long you have/had arthritis). It is far better than being on medication all your life as there is no cure for arthritis and mediation only helps with pain, but your joints will only get worse over the years. Also long-term use of ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for arthritis will damage/kill your kidneys in the long run. I first read about it in a book by Margaret hills, ''Treating Arthritis the drug free way''. Also online I read a lot of claims that it helps to drink a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water for arthritis (1 desert spoon of apple cider vinegar) dissolved in a glass of hot or cold water and you can add a teaspoon of honey. I will be honest and say it doesn't taste great, but you will get used to taking it over time. I would rather take the mixture over suffering with long-term pain and the arthritis getting worse. Plus the anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will damage/kill your kidneys in the long run. I first started taking it 4 x a day for a couple months and then started taking it 3 x a day which I still continue to do so, before each meal. You must drink the mixture first and then eat your meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner etc. but at the beginning you can take the 4th dose 4-5 hours after the last does after your main meal). It’s also good for losing weight as I have lost weight while taking it. A lot of diet/weight loss supplements out there which contain Apple Cider Vinegar for helping with weight loss, not good for people who don't want to lose weight but for those who do its great!. Apple Cider Vinegar helps balance the pH levels in the body, as some foods can be more acid than alkali based. Although Apple Cider Vinegar is naturally acidic, however once in the body it turns to alkali and helps balance the pH levels of the body, not allowing acid to cause even more problems to the joints. An alkaline diet is recommended for people suffering with arthritis, but Margaret Hill’s book explains more about this, I won’t go into more detail. Apple Cider Vinegar, I wouldn't live without it now and recommend to family, friends or anyone suffering with arthritis to try it. I am only sharing this information for people who may have or know someone who may have arthritis who may be reading this. An arthritis sufferer who may be suffering with pain and may want to try a natural remedy that actually works. I hope this helps someone in some way. I regularly order this and it’s great that it's organic too. Very happy customer, great product and speedy delivery! Thank you!!!! :)

When it arrived I had to go back to Amazon to check the size. It really is 5L! And that is a lorra lorra cider vinegar! Lol! It is also organic and unpasteurised, and has the "mother" floating around in it. I am delighted with it. I take one tablespoon every morning with water and sometimes with honey, so I'm sure this quantity will last a very long time. The only downer it has is it comes in a plastic bottle! Apart from the perceived weight, I can't think of another reason why this should be so. And for that I've removed one star. Beautiful though the plastic bottle is, It would have been better in a glass bottle without the fear of the plastic gradually seeping into the vinegar...The quality of the vinegar is excellent. The price is outstanding. In fact everything about the Biona OrganicApple Cider Vinegar is outstanding and I would recommend it. But right now I have to go and look for glass bottles to pour in!

Great quality

Perfect vinegar. Delicious and great price for huge bottle.

ACV is another one of the health drinks that we gulp down. I mix it with raw honey in a 1:1 ratio, as per whathisnames recipe?I think this product is OK, but as its lasted about a year, I decided that next time I'm going to get a more expensive one, that's made in Somerset. Why? because this one is very acidic. Great for cleaning, but quite a strong health drink.Of course the one from Somerset is three times the price, so that's a bit of shame but I'll have to wear it.Update 21 May 2014:Now that I've had this product in the cupboard for about a year, I can see that there is plenty of 'The Mother' enzyme floating around in the last fifth of the jerry can. It is this part of the liquid that is very effective at removing my husband's seborrheic keratoses. He had about 12 of them on his back. They were very unsightly. He had been to see a dermatologist who referred to them as 'mileage carbuncles'. Because they had been diagnosed by a £200-an-hour specialist, I felt free then to tackle their eradication with ACV. On first using this product directly on the seborrheic keratoses, it had little effect. But as I say, now that its pretty 'aged' itself (lol) it is working extremely well. Basically you dab the things with ACV on a cotton pad. Dab each one about 3 times, making sure the affected area remains quite wet. Mop up any drips. Dab off excess and leave on skin till next shower. My husband said they then generally fall off in the shower and sometimes in quite large pieces. His skin appears perfectly healed underneath, in fact its very difficult to distinguish where they used to reside, as the remnants look more like freckles now and are much smaller and perfectly smooth. There are 3 carbuncles left. They are dark brown. When you apply ACV they turn light brown very quickly, then start to shrivel up and eventually crumble off. You need a proper diagnosis first, in order to be sure you can go ahead and get rid of these little critters. Don't attempt this without a proper diagnosis first! (Shame for £200 an hour, that egg-head didn't tell us about this easy cure - TG for YouTube!) Because of this successful application, I've decided to give the product 5 stars now.

I got this at a bargain price. I don't know if I'll be able to get the same pricing again but if I do, then we can say bye bye to supermarket bought vinegar. Really tasty on fish, chips, chicken etc. with salt of course. More healthy on it's own as a dressing for salads, but also add a little oil and honey to taste depending on the salad (e.g. avocado salads etc.). But I was glugging down a couple of tablespoons neat, twice a day, for a few months during the summer as a sort of 'just-in-case bet' that this would be good for me. Took a short while to get used to this. Unfortunately, during the winter I simply forgot to continue with this (doh!). I can tell you now, that whether by coincidence (or maybe not?) whether by placebo (or maybe not?) that during the summer, I was slimmer, with more energy and during the winter, I put on more weight and got sluggish. Now it is spring so now I aim to continue using more of my lovely lovey Organic Cider Vinegar with the Mother, bulk purchased from the Biona (Groceries) Store on Amazon. PS, don't forget to shake before use to make use of the Mother.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Le goût est doux, pas trop acide et on sent bien le cidre.

Zuerst war ich skeptisch: ein BIO-Essig in einem großen Plastikkanister. Doch ich bin überaus positiv überrascht worden. Der ausgewogene Geschmack, die naturreine Trübung und die vielseitige Verwendung machen diesen Essig zu einem echten Hit in meiner Küche. Ich habe bereits zig Gläser feinste Gurken eingekocht; nehme ihn zum Salatdressing und allen anderen möglichen Verwendungen in der Küche. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Llevamos tomando este vinagre varios meses y a diario, para todo tipo de ensaladas y aderezos, me gusta su olor y el sabor, suave, le da un toque muy especial a los aliños.

Uso aceto di mele da decenni e questo prodotto mi è piaciuto.Il bidoncino per me è comodo perché uso questo aceto in diversi settori (bagno, cucina, lavanderia) e così posso ricaricare i singoli più pratici contenitori.Io questo aceto lo sto usando in cucina per condirci l'insalata, per disinfettare frutta e verdura, per metterne qualche goccia nel bicchiere d'acqua prima dei pasti, in bagno come detergente per il viso, corpo e capelli, per fare risciacqui alla bocca, per disinfettare brufoli e punture d'insetto, per placare il prurito alle gambe o braccia, in lavanderia come ammorbidente e scopro sempre altri modi di usarlo.

Je l'utilise pour tout mes assaisonnements et même pour le boire diluer dans l'eau très bon et pas trop chère vu le conditionnement de 5 l.
