Vinegar Quality and Pricing in Food Preparations
The piece warns against pure cider vinegar sold by retailers at seven to ten cents per two gallons, noting it harms the stomach lining and is adulterated. It explains cider vinegar is better as a condiment, requiring one to three years to properly produce through alcoholization and acetic acid formation, with artificial methods yielding inferior first-class product.
