Apple cider vinegar

Condiment

Apple cider vinegar is a fermented vinegar made from pressed apple juice, with a sharp, fruity tang and a mellow, slightly sweet finish. Unfiltered versions contain the cloudy strands known as the mother. Use it to brighten salad dressings and slaws, to deglaze pans, in marinades and pickling brines, or stirred into sauces where a splash of acidity balances richness.

Polyols

Per 100 ml

SorbitolAt most 0.6 g

Source: Estimated from an equivalent food (BLS 4.0)

What this means

This is apple cider vinegar's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.

Sugars

Total fructoseNot yet analysed

Excess fructoseNot a source

Source: Not a source of excess fructose (structural classification); total fructose not measured

What this means

These are apple cider vinegar's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
