You may be wondering what is the mother in apple cider vinegar.
The "mother" that is formed in apple cider looks like a cloudy blob.
It is common to see this in homemade apple cider vinegar.
When you purchase apple cider vinegar from the store, it does not come with 'mother'.
This is because the mother has been filtered out.
However, the experts tell us that it is safe to consume this as you would the rest of the bottle.
Or, you can also reuse the 'mother' when you make apple cider vinegar again.
