Whole Fruit Vinegar

As we are sure you have seen, we love to rescue fruit! And at Sour Flower, we brew with the peel, pit and all. Here are some of the benefits of doing so:

  • Polyphenol and Antioxidant Levels: Polyphenols are concentrated in the skin and seeds of fruits. By using the whole fruit, we retain these parts, ensuring higher levels of antioxidants.
  • Fiber and Nutrients: Whole fruits contain fiber and other nutrients that contribute to the health benefits of the final vinegar. Juicing, by contrast, tends to remove fiber and other compounds that are tied to the antioxidant capacity of the fruit.
  • Vinegar Fermentation Process: The fermentation process itself can influence, the polyphenol content. Using whole fruit allows for more complex fermentation which further enhances the vinegar's health benefits, compared to using only juice.

*Most commercial fruit vinegars (like ACV) are using juice : ) They will still have the benefits of the acetic acid but loose many of the nutrients of the original fruit.*

Stay in nature

Our mission is to get outside as much as possible and create. Creativity is the counter part to nature, its what fuels our souls. They are synergistic to one another, without nature, our creative spark dwindles.

A bottle of vinegar can act as a blank canvas, just as finding edible food in the wild, a special ingredient at a farmers market, or maybe even something at the discount bin in the grocery store these are starting points. Let the ingredient itself inspire you to think outside of the box and create something novel.

True health comes from within.
