it IS raw... but is Bragg's raw? Is it really?

first off I just got off the phone with the people at vom fass, and all of their vinegars are raw and unfiltered. They are not however organic

But let's talk about Bragg's for a minute

Braggs likes to brag that their raw apple cider vinegar "contains the mother"

But does it really? I know two people who tried to use Bragg's as a starter culture for their own vinegar. both failed. Both knew what they were doing, and both eventually succeeded when they SWITCHED to a different starter

I don't believe that Bragg's has the mother in it. I just don't. I have yet to meet anybody who has successfully used it as a starter culture for anything. Have you? If you or anyone else has successfully used it as a starter culture I would be very curious to find out how it went.

So is it really raw? We don't know. We only have their word to go on and quite frankly we now know that the Bragg's family has a long colorful history of telling one lie after another, but I guess that is another story. And yet it is related. Because these are people you cannot trust. I mean Patricia isn't even Paul's daughter as she claims to be. And let's not even get into all of Paul's ridiculous lies that he told over many decades

so what about the pesticide issue? many people do not realize that pesticides actually break down quite readily during the fermentation process. I doubt there is even the tiniest trace amount of any pesticides left after 10 years of fermentation!

And besides all of the above, the fact of the matter is that this vinegar does something for me that no other vinegar has ever done. It is such a unique and powerful experience. Tweet
