A bottle of vinegar in a medieval monastery lasted for years. It could clean wounds, preserve food for an entire winter, and fight infections that would have killed without it. That same bottle cost almost nothing to make.
Your bottle of store-bought vinegar? It was made in 24 hours. And that speed is why it can't do any of those things anymore.
Medieval monks' vinegar-making techniques reveal a surprising secret. Discover the centuries-old process involving a "mother" culture and its impact on the vinegar's properties. Learn how modern production methods differ and how to make your own at home.
