25 Uses for Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar #HeinzVinegar

Apple cider vinegar should be a staple in every household. The health benefits and uses of Apple cider vinegar are endless, but here are 25 uses and recipes that we think everyone will love. Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar has lots of health benefits. Drinking ACV tastes just like other brands to me, but it has some great health benefits.

This post is brought to you by Heinz.

Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar unfiltered contains the Mother. The Mother is the existing bacteria that hasn’t been destroyed in pasteurization and gives a cloudy, thick appearance. Heinz ACV is made from natural apples and diluted with water to a uniform pickling and table strength.

Apple Cider Vinegar has so many benefits and uses. It’s amazing all the things you can use it for your home. I’ve seen many pins about them. Always remember to water down apple cider vinegar if you drink it. Some of the uses (to name a few):

1. Repels Fleas- 

Mix equal parts ACV and water into a spray bottle and spray on your pet before going outside or after a bath.

2. Shiny Hair – 

  • 2 tbsp ACV
  • 1 cup of water

Cover hair with mix after shampooing, then finish with conditioner.

3. Lower Blood Pressure- (studies have shown)

  • 2 tsp. ACV
  • 1 glass of water

Drink before meals to balance the body’s pH levels.

4. Nausea- 

  • 1 tbsp ACV
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 glass of cold water

Mix and drink when you have an upset stomach.

5. Canning –

Better taste in pickled items. Make sure the strength is 5% or stronger.

6. Dressings –

Makes a great base for dressings, see recipe below.

7. Bug Bite Relief-

Dab a cotton ball with undiluted ACV and place it on the bug bite.

8. Weed Killer- 

  • 1/2 gallon of ACV
  • 1/4 cup table salt

This is a powerful mixture and will kill all plants. If you would like just a weed killer, try a little lemon in ACV without the soap.

9. Deodorant-

Equal parts ACV to equal parts of water.

Dip a cotton ball into the mixture. Swab your armpits with it and let it evaporate. Then, powder them with equal parts of cornstarch and baking soda mixture to keep them dry.

One of my favorite things to use Heinz Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar for is in my “Sniffles Tea.” It helps break up my nasal decongestion when I have a cold or the flu. Here is what you’ll need.

23. Sniffles Tea

  • Lemon Tea
  • Honey
  • Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar

Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar

The honey cuts out any bitterness from the lemon or vinegar. I used it this week for my cold, and it helps A LOT! Another one of my favorites is the Tangy Cucumber Dressing recipe from Heinz.

24. Salad Dressings and Vinaigrettes

Tangy Cucumber Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Heinz® Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup dairy sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup diced peeled cucumber

Directions

Combine ingredients. Cover; chill to blend flavors.
Serve over tomato and lettuce salads, sliced chicken, or chilled salmon. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Last but not least, my all-time favorite use of Apple Cider Vinegar is catching fruit flies! We have a lot of our own vegetables and fruit in our garden, so they are always just sitting around waiting for us to eat them. So we attract quite a few. I make our fruit fly trap with a mason jar, apple cider vinegar, a cut piece of fruit, and a rolled-up piece of paper. I catch so many of them it blows me away!

    • Angela, I choose to contact you because you said you sipped the vinegar and I was looking for someone who had actually took a little straight, not diluted. I use it on all kind of skin problems and it cures all, great. So, I read somewhere in the past that it was good to take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a couple times a week. Ok, shouldn’t be a problem, I have on many occasions taken a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. well, I went to swallow this and it burned my throat severely . I was able to spit out a lot of it but my throat is so sore that I have been unable to eat or drink, swallow, for two days. Do you know anyone who actually swallowed some? did your sips burn ? I need to know because it just doesn’t make sense, maybe I have some other problem if the vinegar doesn’t burn. I would really appreciate any information about this. Thank You

  1. What is the best method for using ACV for weight loss? I drink it straight twice to thrice a day, but it leaves a bad taste.

    • I’ve not used it for weight loss so I couldn’t give you an exact answer. I did read an article the other day that you can take a shot of 2 tbsp ACV with 2 tbsp water and 1/2tsp ground cinnamon before each meal to rev up your metabolism!

  2. Are there any negatives about ACV….can one OD on same. And, is Heinz White Vinegar healthy for you or only for cleaning purposes. Thx for your reply. R
