I've tried many different ACV's. Hines is very strong, but I use it for salad dressing. Overall, I like Bragg's the best.
Me too.🌞
I only buy Bragg’s. Guess some of us buy ACV for the health benefits and not other brands because they look pretty or tastes nice.
No mention of "the Mother'?
They avoided the topic by saying that some are filtered.
It's mentioned in the full review on their website.
"Cider will convert naturally to vinegar with time, but manufacturers typically speed up the process by adding a “mother,” which is bacteria from an established vinegar. Once all the alcohol is converted to acid (there’s no measurable alcohol in vinegar), the vinegar is either filtered to remove the cloudy sediment of leftover mother or bottled unfiltered. In the plain tasting, testers could visually identify the unfiltered vinegars by their darker, hazier appearance and small floating particles. While tasters didn’t notice any difference in consistency when tasting filtered and unfiltered products, many thought the unfiltered vinegars were slightly more complex-fruity, floral, and appley-when sampled straight."
I agree, martimedragon.
What no Bragg's. They're the ones that put apple cider vinegar on the map. With the mother and promoted the health benefits
Yeah, something weird is going on with these blind testings. I'm thinking these videos have more to do with product advertising than actual tasting.
@@bastidface I'm thinking you're correct!
@@bastidface
I couldn't agree more!
ATK is no different than your run of the mill doctor's office that welcomes Med. Reps selling the latest drug pertaining to that doctor's specialty.
An in office, catered lunch with high end delicacies - and promises of substantial financial kickbacks is all it takes for every patient to be on that particular drug.
ATK's "reviews" are nothing more than thinly veiled ads.
They test a boatload of pots and pans - and only three or four carefully chosen edible supermarket products... while being (literally...) applauded for it, by their "in studio audience", who's made to feel important by being participants in the "testing" process.
Please...
@@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579 They test more than the three they showcase in the shorter segments here.

THANK You for responding, and for the clarification.
However, the reason I commented the way I did, is because it seems that some products (like pots and pans...) so obviously get more airtime in these "ATK Snippets", while (in this case...) ACV was literally treated as if it didn't deserve to be well represented.
If one item gets a "proper snippet", so should every other item they test at ATK.
THANKS again for Your reply - enjoy Your weekend!
I would have liked Bragg to have been one of the vinegars tasted.
@karenamanda1958 It was. Full reviews of all the brands tested are available on their website.
The only reason for ACV is the mother, so I buy Braggs
You show several different brands, but only test three? We can assume that these were the top three, but that info wasn't given. At least tell us why the Bragg & Spectrum didn't make the cut.
Full reviews are available on their website or in their magazine. www.cookscountry.com/taste_tests/1715-apple-cider-vinegar On the show, usually they put the top 2 and the bottom one or those with distinctive traits that Jack just described and the rest are ranked somewhere in between.
@@humidly
Most of these complaining commenters don't seem to watch the show, and some don't seem to even understand that there is a TV show. They just see a clip and try to find things wrong with it. UA-cam negativity.
@Josephine Roe I notice that you reply to several negative comments on this channel. What makes you such an apologist? Why do you care so much? Are you an employee? It doesn't seem normal for an ordinary subscriber, as we all are, to be so obsequious
@@josephineroe8424 You must be new to UA-cam, as that was a rather polite criticism of the info presented in this video. If a bit of criticism offends you, perhaps you should delete your YT account, shut down your computer and watch the show on PBS, where there is no comment section so you'll never be subjected to anyones view but your own.
@@humidly Thank you for the info.
Within the last year I had a bottle of vinegar, plastic of course, open and sitting on the counter next to it I had a bottle of water, plastic of course, open and sitting next to the vinegar. I was reading my iPad watching TV and listening to someone tell me something when I picked up the water bottle to take a sip of water, you can imagine my surprise when I got a mouthful of vinegar. I laughed pretty hard afterwards, and I tell all my friends, look before you leap.
This water is off somehow!
YT , LoL 😂
Good thing you were not an American coin dealer/collector cleaning your silver coins in a European hotel during the turn of the century...
As he got the Darwin Award as you just missed runner-up. ;D
David
Yes you’re right it’s a good thing I wasn’t a coin dealer then because I wouldn’t have been sitting in front of my TV, the TVs back in those days had very poor reception and the Internet for my iPad geez that was terrible to back then as well, a bottle of water was expensive then.
I use Hienz for cooking and I use the one with “the mother” (I forgot the name but it’s the one with the older couple) for cleanses
Braggs.
Wow. Those audience members are really excited about vinegar. Or perhaps an applause sign? Lol.
I think they hired that audience from an infomercial.
I, utterly, disagree with the panel's winner. Dr. Bragg Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar is the best; by far.
Yep
No mention of Bragg's?
It is there in the background, so obviously didn't make the cut. Although that is the brand I usually buy myself.
I'm making my own cider vinegar rn. I hope 🤞 it's a success.
As usual C County is very informative and friendly staff, thank you All❤🎉
I’m fairly picky about my ACV, and I use the mother to make my own red wine vinegar. This was all good info to know.
I think I’ll have to go with Heinz because it’s available in my area, never heard of the other two.
@@joeees7790 I live in NY and I've never seen these brands either.
*I've been trying to include apple cider vinegar into my routine for ages, but the taste just made it so hard. Goli Gummies really were a game changer for me* 🍎
I take Bragg's organic ACV for anti-cancer and weight lose management. 2 tablespoon to 8 oz of filtered hot water with few drops of Stevia sweetener first thing in the morning. Been doing this for many years now. Surprised Braggs is not included here.
Bragg's is the best! Must have the mother.
The cellulose used in vinegar of mother is processed using acid(and not acetic acid either) and bleach.
There's no way to get it all out of the cellulose either. So it's in the vinegar.
Just sayin.
There are local brands that have the same quality as Bragg's or Eden but cost less. There's one in my area called something like Vermont Orchard. It's good.
Unfiltered is the only way to go for ACV, gotta have the mother.
My gran mixed 1T act, 1T honey, and 3/4 to 1 c hot water, and drank it every morning she was healthy to the day she died at 101.
I started doing it in late winter, and have noticed some good changes in my skin and hair, along with my gallstone.
If anyone is using ACV for health purposes, it should contain the mother. That's why Bragg is so popular in the market.
I have never seen this brand before. I live in Minnesota.
I like ATK taste tests generally, but these taste tests of things like vinegar or fish sauce or what not--NOBODY consumes those like a drink. It's just not the real world. It's like judging a salad dressing without any salad; they're meant to be a team.
Ugh, I hate all the audience shots. Please just keep the camera on the hosts. Why do I need to see a bunch of random people gawking?
Why do we need to see anything at all? They could just shows a list with the best ones ranked. Then you could complain about that.
It just makes the segment look like an infomercial.
Gawking and nodding like an Oprah show - blech.
New phone call with it costs associated press conference room with your dad will do a little later and cheese in town on and then the same time that works better and wind was the m in this world that was good morning beautiful woman to have you have time tomorrow at this year's world and I'm still waiting room is going well I'm sure it's
Thanks again
I'm So Loving Your Channel... I Say Channel Because I Watch IT
More than TV
Try Carr’s Ciderhouse Apple Cider Vinegar...very fruity and well balanced. You can get it on Amazon or order online directly from them, They’re local to you, in Northampton Mass.
would have like to see Braggs in the tasting
I grew up on Heinz apple cider vinegar and I will drink vinegar. If there are no pickles in the house which I drink all of the brine from once I eat the pickles I will go looking for vinegar. We also used the same apple cider vinegar on boiled dinner what other people call corned beef and cabbage.
Please do a taste test of the best red wine vinegar.
Audience involvement. Don't ya just love it? It really adds so much errr, umm, what does it add?
Thank you! That's just what I came here to comment on. It's not just this show, but all TV shows with a live audience. It drives me crazy! Not only does it not add anything, it *detracts* from the show. I can only assume the purpose of featuring audience members on camera is so they will buy a copy of the DVD.
It allows fans to watch some filming and the audience also does taste tests.
@@kareninalabama
Right. They're counting on those twenty people in the audience to buy DVDs and keep them in business. Does that really sound feasible to you?
@Josephine Roe I notice that you reply to several negative comments on this channel. What makes you such an apologist? Why do you care so much? Are you an employee? It doesn't seem normal for an ordinary subscriber, as we all are, to be so obsequious
@@josephineroe8424 k thanks
braggs is the best
43 not too late to game. love apple cider vinegar.
Organic & mother of vinegar ???
Bragg's with mother #1
White House is my local brand! Good to see.
White House. I live right in the middle of all the White House orchards out in WV.
Different styles for different purposes.
Love these "Best" Videos
I buy the cheap store brands
Balsamic graze please
As an update 4/24, Braggs has been sold, tends to be watered down, living on a name.
when my brother and I were small children we were left alone together while our parents were doing their bills. My brother wanted some apple juice and he was too tiny to get it for himself. I was also still young and so when I saw the apples on what turned out to actually be Heinz brand apple cider vinegar. I had poured him a tall glass and he drank it and that poor tiny little boy had an achy tummy afterwards. Poor kid.
I just don't get the point of straight-tasting things like vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce. They did one tasting of cinnamon in rice pudding--that makes sense.
Maddening! They show several and only taste 3?
Has anyone tried the Costco brand organic unfiltered ACV?
Hi guys
Cooks Country cites "cider vinegar" vs "apple cider vinegar" in recipe use for "Hawaiian Mac Salad", tho not a Hawaiian-style, as vinegar it not used locally in mac salad which is why the tangy other "mayo" is not used in actual recipes, tho I understand personal and preferred taste which is why I wonder why "Hawaiian-style" isn't the correct naming, as this recipe calls for directly adding the "cider vinegar", for intended reasons. We tried it and it was not bad, but not local in flavor. We've gone from market to market, to organic corner stores in the city and everyone either says, "never heard of it" or it "doesn't exist". CC has always been good about citing substitutions where needed, and do cite availability for the continental U.S. on Asian markets or local Supermarkets potential range of products, so why the mystery regarding "cider vinegar"? Any help at the unclouding of this would be heartedly appreciated, whole or otherwise. 😃
Why is there a studio audience? Not necessary.
There is an audience because this is a clip from a long running television show. The TV show is filmed in front of an audience.
Eden’s is the best. So good for you. Has the mother.
No Bragg's??
I like White House apple cider vinegar
once again the kraft heinz plug
I like Braggs
The infomercial format is bad. You've taken something informative and given it the artifice of something manipulative. Successful UA-cam cooking segments are quick, wittily edited, and lean. I like these ladies and the information they have to share but this format is unwatchable.
this is your opinion presented as fact.
I like the format of the video.
Never even seen or heard of White House brand vinegar
If you drink it for health reasons then Bragg's is better because of the mother in it. I also use mine for salad dressing and add honey to make it sweeter not sugar. Sugar defeats the purpose of the healthy concept.
Wow. Definitely not the same without Christopher Kimball. They should pay him whatever he wants to get him back
Agree!
Dont miss him at all. Obviously everyone else did the work he just showed up
Since they filed a lawsuit against him and his second wife, an executive producer, for theft of company property, I'm preetty sure they have zero interest in paying him anything at all to bring him back.
@@kareninalabama true. But neither bridget nor Julia will be able to replace him. They are good cooks but terrible hosts
Do you watch The Lucy Show and complain that Desi Arnaz isn't on it? Kimball is gone. He left on his own. He started his own show. He is not coming back. Complaining won't bring him back. Go watch his show and stop bitching about what this show is. Please.
Where is Braggs! Don’t care for the other vinegars.. gonna try the White House tho. For now happy with Braggs. Probably cause this is for cooking without the mother..
Four Monks put out a great apple cider vinegar.
You should taste test vinegar using a sugar cube
GAWD, I miss Christopher Kimball.
Yup, that’s when ATK had integrity.
Braggs 100%
Bragg Bragg Bragg.... that is the one they should have put to the test ...and no mention of vinegars with 'the mother'? This was a joke testing. Vinegar is like olive oil..... Cooking vs Straight up raw flavor.
My conspiratorial mind says something is "rotten in Denmark" when they didn't give Bragg's a chance. I'm sure if you did some digging, there's some convoluted "explanation" as to why no Bragg's... shame on A.T.K. for this one.
Braggs is the goat
Why didn't you mention Bragg's (my favorite) or Eden? They're right there on the counter (along with a second bottle of Heinz?) and my attention span is at least 6 minutes long. You went over 7 minutes for thermometers.
3 minutes into the video, Julia said she really liked the funkiness of Eden, which was the unfiltered one on her far right.
I wouldn’t drink that shit straight.
#BRAGGS
There you Do Not have it as I see a bottle on the board that is not mentioned for unknown reasons? I'm sure the explanation is not forth coming.
Come again?
@Josephine Roe I notice that you reply to several negative comments on this channel. What makes you such an apologist? Why do you care so much? Are you an employee? It doesn't seem normal for an ordinary subscriber, as we all are, to be so obsequious
@@AirrowRocket No I don't reply to negative comments. I buy that brand and since it was on the table it would have been interesting to have seen thoughts on the product. It is that simple.
@Curiosity My reply was not directed to you :)
@@AirrowRocket Yeah, sorry didn't look carefully enough when replying.
are people trying to cure weight loss?
So you show 8 vinegars yet only talk about 3.... misleading at best.
They only ever talk about the one that was worst, and then either the top two, or the top one and the one that scored right in the middle. If you want to see the full rankings, you have to sign up for their website. To do that costs money. You have to buy something or pay for a subscription.
They're a PBS show, so they don't make a lot of profit from that. Their primary income sources are sales of subscriptions to their website and magazines, and from sales of cookbooks and DVDs.
Thanks for the clarification.. but I hate when I take the time to look at a review video that just leaves you hanging or leads you on... it gives me a sense of being taken for a ride. So their credibility falters in my book by doing so.
@@tradersato I understand. They should probably make a comment for every review that explains where and how to find the complete reviews.
There is no reason they won't at least briefly explain why they ended up with the 3 they chose.
For once, I have the winnng product in my kitchen.
Not everyone lives local to your show, you should be doing more national brands.
They do nationally available brands.
@Josephine Roe I notice that you reply to several negative comments on this channel. What makes you such an apologist? Why do you care so much? Are you an employee? It doesn't seem normal for an ordinary subscriber, as we all are, to be so obsequious
Josephine Roe what national brands? i see dozens of east coast-only products on their “best of” reviews, so the rest of america has no idea where to buy them; should be relabeled “Boston’s Test Kitchen”
Bragg 100%
Never use vinegar in cooking, yuk
I was wondering why they didn't mention which includes the "Mother" but I guess that's not important in cooking 😔
Bragg is a drinking vinegar. It may be the better-looking brand because it has this older trustworthy couple on the bottle but it is NOT a cooking vinegar.
I cook with Braggs. Love it!
That's what I thought. People on "cleanses" tend to use that, or so I've heard.
Well according to ATK Braggs was best suited for making pan sauces and not strong enough for coleslaw so your opinion has been refuted.
Sipping vinegar.......lol..
I was making a tartar sauce and wanted to put rice vinegar in it. I had regular and seasoned. I sipped them directly for their flavor profile to choose. I couldn't decide so I flipped a mental coin
Er...as much as I like Bridget, she wasn’t in this taste test. But kudos to Julia for sipping all that vinegar. Let’s see how long it takes the ATK media team to correct the description.
How does Jack stay slim and the two testers don't
Dr. Bragg is rolling over in his grave.
in ukraine there is 9% acidity !! 9!!
Drink braggs- the rest are for cleaning!
Bridget sure looks like Julia...
Buy a bag of apples, slice and dice, put scraps in a bucket (maybe a few good pieces as well), fill with water, cover with breathable fabric, let sit for at least two weeks. Bottle it, and you're done. Best ac vinegar you can have, and it isn't industrial factory flavored crap.
Generic ALDI brand for the win.
costwise 4 sure
Eden and Braggs are the only vinegars we buy and they have the mother in them. We also allow our homemade kombucha to age into a vinegar. We are vinegar snobs (;laughing)
I keep wanting to like these informative videos but the style is just so jarring. It’s like something from a bad 90s sitcom… just way too American
Fuck off, idiot
Did you catch the name of the channel? 😁
@@itburns5756 Really?
totally agree; I keep expecting Emeril Lagasse to roll in “bamming” everyone in the ridiculous studio audience
Thank God they didn't show Bragg.
That was a very weak advertisement.
It figures people/panel prefer sugar over actual health. When it comes to food as medicine, taste is not the paramount indicator: try chewing on a pill and tell me how THAT tastes. Unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar is true (with the mother or not), and it works in cooking or just sipping.
Well, it actually *does* figure, since this is a cooking show that uses tasting panels to determine which brands taste the best. That is the entire point of this segment of the show.
What the hell? LOL this is not a medicine or health show.
STOP THE PRETASTING COACHING>>>>BIASED RESULTS !!!!!!
Wow, ATK is going downhill fast.
Seems like your studio panel was mostly women? Extremely biased survey...was it even a blind sensory test?
Yup, it was sexist. Prolly racist too.
This is so white
Welp, found the racist.
