garden apple tree

Well-known large-branched garden tree within 10 m tall.

Medicinal raw materials are fruits. Undeservedly forgotten medicinal plant in the literature on herbal medicine.

The chemical composition of the fruits is almost the same as that of the forest apple tree, the difference in sucrose, which is greater in the garden apple tree, there is a lot of potassium, carbohydrates, and calcium in the fruits of the garden apple tree. One of the explanations for the universality of the use of apples, juice or vinegar from them as a medicine in folk medicine is their ability to bind with potassium such mineral elements as phosphorus, chlorine, sodium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, iron, fluorine, silicon and a number of trace elements. .

A famous proverb says: “Eat an apple every day and you won’t need to call a doctor.” Its true essence is that apples have healing properties for the human body. Therapy methods based on the use of apple juice or apple cider vinegar are equally effective, since each of these products is a source of valuable minerals.

Due to the fact that the fruit is a perishable product, and the juice has a limited shelf life, we will pay attention to the preparation and use of apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar contains all the mineral elements listed earlier that are part of the apple.

How to make apple cider vinegar. The apples are washed, rotten or wormy parts are removed, then they are crushed or rubbed on a coarse grater, both the core and the peel are used. This raw apple gruel is placed in a suitable vessel. Top up with tepid, pre-boiled water (0.5 l of water per 0.4 kg of apple gruel). For each liter of water, 100 g of honey or sugar are added, also (to accelerate acetic acid fermentation) 10 g of bread yeast and 20 g of dry black bread.

The vessel with this mixture is kept open at a temperature of 20-30°C.

Acetic acid fermentation is facilitated by a liquid with a low alcohol content (less than 20% sugary substances), a constant temperature and as large a contact surface with air as possible (aerobic fermentation).

The vessel must be made of glass (a jar), wood (a barrel without a lid) or enameled clay.

The vessel must be stored in the dark, because the sun’s ultraviolet rays prevent fermentation.

To carry out the first stage of fermentation, the vessel is kept warm for 10 days, stirring the apple gruel 2-3 times every day with a wooden spoon, then transferred to a gauze bag and squeezed.

The resulting juice is again filtered through gauze, the weight is determined and poured into a vessel with a wide neck.

You can add 50-100 g of honey or sugar to each liter of juice, stirring until completely homogenized.

To carry out the second stage of fermentation, the jar is closed with gauze, tied and kept warm in order to continue fermentation. Fermentation is over when the liquid has calmed down and cleared up.

Depending on the appropriate juice preparation, temperature, etc., apple cider vinegar will be ready in 40-60 days. Then it is poured into bottles with a hose, filtered with a watering can with gauze.

The bottles are tightly stoppered, corked with wax and stored in a dark, cool place.

Apple cider vinegar is pleasant to consume as a seasoning for salads and other dishes, meeting the needs of the human body for an acidic food supplement. According to the direction of physician S. Jarvis, apple cider vinegar can be used as a dietary food product and as a therapeutic agent for all kinds of diseases.
