Product Details
Bragg has been bottling raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar for more than a century. The cloudy threads suspended in the bottle are the mother, the culture of cellulose, yeast and bacteria that forms as cider ferments into vinegar and that unfiltered bottles keep rather than strain out. It settles while the bottle stands, so shake it before pouring.
This one is a blend rather than plain cider vinegar. Honey and fruit juice soften the acidity into something tart and fruity, nearer a dry cordial than a spoonful of vinegar. Cranberry supplies the puckery edge, apple rounds it out, and a trace of ginger warms the finish.
The usual way to take it is two tablespoons stirred into a tall glass of cold or sparkling water over ice. It works in the kitchen as well: whisk it into a vinaigrette for bitter greens, brush it over roast pork or chicken in the last few minutes, or use it to sharpen a pan sauce.

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
How is this different from regular Bragg apple cider vinegar?
This is a blend, not straight vinegar. Alongside the organic raw apple cider vinegar it contains organic honey, cranberry juice, apple juice, water, ginger extract and apple essence, so it tastes sweet-tart rather than purely sharp. The classic Bragg bottle is nothing but apple cider vinegar with the mother. Buyers who wanted plain vinegar and grabbed this one by mistake are a recurring theme in reviews.
What is the mother, and is the cloudy stuff floating in the bottle normal?
The mother is the web of cellulose and acetic acid bacteria formed during fermentation, and it is what makes raw, unfiltered vinegar look cloudy with visible strands or a haze that settles. Seeing it in this bottle is expected, which is why the label tells you to shake gently before pouring. A clear bottle would mean the vinegar had been filtered and pasteurized.
Is this vegan?
No. Organic honey is one of the listed ingredients and is the source of the added sugar in the blend, so this particular flavor does not fit a vegan diet. Bragg's plain organic apple cider vinegar and some of its other blends contain no honey, so vegans typically buy one of those instead.
How sweet is it, and does it have added sugar?
It does contain added sugar, all of it from the organic honey in the blend, and the honey plus fruit juices are what round off the vinegar bite. Reviewers are split on this: many say the sweetness is exactly what finally made vinegar drinkable for them, while others find it too sweet and go back to plain. If sweetness is the thing you are trying to avoid, the unflavored bottle is the better pick.
Is it a ready-to-drink beverage or something you mix?
It is a vinegar blend meant to be mixed, not a bottled drink. Bragg's own directions are to combine two tablespoons with eight ounces of water, and the 16 ounce bottle is counted as sixteen servings on that basis. Bragg separately sells ready-to-drink apple cider vinegar beverages in flavors like concord grape acai, which are a different product and are consumed straight from the bottle.
Can I cook with it or use it in salad dressing?
Yes, and reviewers commonly do, particularly in vinaigrettes and marinades where the honey and cranberry work in your favor. Keep in mind it is milder and sweeter than plain cider vinegar, so it will not behave identically in a recipe calling for straight vinegar, and the fruit flavor can clash in savory dishes where you want a neutral acid. Pickling and other recipes that depend on a known acidity level are better done with unblended vinegar.
Is this 5 percent acidity like ordinary vinegar?
Bragg publishes a 5 percent acidity figure for its straight apple cider vinegar but does not publish an acidity percentage for this blend, and since juices, honey and water are part of the formula the finished blend is less acidic than undiluted vinegar. Anyone who needs a verified acidity level, for canning or pickling for example, should not assume a number for this bottle. Use plain labeled vinegar where acidity is a safety consideration.
Is the apple cider vinegar weight-loss research settled?
No, it is disputed. A widely publicized 2024 study in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health reporting substantial weight loss from apple cider vinegar was retracted by the BMJ Group in 2025 over concerns about the quality of the work, and researchers quoted in coverage of the retraction had flagged the size of the reported effect as implausible. Harvard, Mayo Clinic and other institutions have publicly pushed back on popular vinegar claims. Treat this bottle as a food and a flavoring, and take any specific health assertion you read online as unproven.
Is it certified organic and non-GMO?
Yes. The bottle carries USDA Organic certification and Non-GMO Project verification, and the vinegar is raw and unfiltered rather than pasteurized. Retailer listings also mark it gluten free. Every fruit and sweetener component in the blend is listed as organic.
Who owns Bragg, and is it still the original company?
Bragg Live Food Products was built around Paul Bragg and later Patricia Bragg in Santa Barbara, California, and remained closely tied to the family for decades. In 2019 an investor group that included Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom acquired the company, with Patricia Bragg staying on in an ambassador role. The brand name and its apple cider vinegar recipe carried over through that sale.
How does it compare to Bragg's other vinegar blends?
Bragg sells several sweetened blends alongside the plain vinegar, including a honey blend and a cayenne-spiced version, all built on the same raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother. The cranberry apple version is the tart-fruity one, with ginger extract in the background. Choosing among them is a matter of flavor preference rather than a difference in the underlying vinegar.
