Good bacteria: an ally for your health
Have you heard that there are good bacteria for your health? Archie will explain why this is true, and how apple cider vinegar mother can help you stay healthy.
40 billion bacteria in our body
Before we begin, a figure: 40 billion. That's a lot, yes… but it's at least the number of bacteria contained in each of our bodies. Especially in our intestines. This is what we call the gut microbiota.
The importance of the gut microbiota
Scientific research has shown that a healthy gut microbiota protects us from disease. It also appears to have a significant impact on our mental health. To maintain a healthy microbiota, prevent the onset of illness, and strengthen our immune system, it's important to diversify our sources of beneficial bacteria (more information about the microbiota can be found here).
Archie: a naturally living vinegar
At Archie, we produce an unfiltered and unpasteurized cider vinegar , made from organic French apples .
This artisanal process helps to preserve the mother of vinegar , a natural deposit that forms during fermentation and testifies to its vitality.
Each bottle is therefore unique, with possible variations in colour and sediment — a characteristic specific to living vinegars.
A strong commitment to organic products
Regarding the organic aspect, we are firmly convinced that not offering organic products (with or without a label!) in the 21st century is heresy! But it's even crazier when you know that apples are among the fruits most exposed to pesticides.
Unpasteurized to preserve life
Unpasteurized. Pasteurization is the heating process that kills all bacteria. Vinegar is naturally antibacterial. Therefore, pasteurization offers no benefit other than aesthetics. Not using this process allows us to avoid killing the "mother" of Archie cider vinegar (which would be far too cruel). This mother is naturally formed during the fermentation process. Unfiltered. Not filtering the cider vinegar allows our product to retain all its authenticity. No two bottles of Archie are identical. In fact, from one bottle to another, the sediment, a sign that all the beneficial properties are preserved, will have a different appearance. Its color will also vary slightly.
So consuming Archie means consuming living foods, it means varying your sources of good bacteria to live a loooong time in excellent health.
