Vinegar has been used in cooking for centuries, but did you know that apple cider vinegar has a whole host of health benefits too? Cranberry Country Market is Tomah's favorite farmer's market, supplying a wide variety of organic, locally-grown groceries with the friendly service to match. 

Encouraging shoppers to lead healthy lifestyles, these knowledgeable grocers offer three health benefits of apple cider vinegar:

• Kills Bacteria: If you're searching for a natural food preservative, apple cider vinegar makes an excellent choice. The next time you grab groceries, pick up a bottle to inhibit bacteria like E. coli from growing, multiplying, and spoiling other foods. The natural acetic acid present in vinegar keeps fresh vegetables and fruits safe from bacteria.
• Lowers Blood Sugar: Elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance are a major problem for diabetics, but they're also a concern for non-diabetics, as high blood sugar is one of aging's major factors and can lead to a multitude of dangerous conditions, like blood clots and strokes. Apple cider vinegar has been proven to keep both insulin and blood sugar levels stable, so pick up a bottle the next time you're at the farmer's market.

• Helps Weight Loss: Just a tablespoon of vinegar increases feelings of fullness, preventing overeating and resulting in weight loss. Together with meals high in whole wheat, fresh vegetables, and an assortment of fruits, apple cider vinegar acts as a helpful weight loss aid.
