About Diluted Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
One drink made with one tablespoon, or approximately 15 grams, of apple cider vinegar diluted in one cup of water provides about 3 calories and only a trace amount of carbohydrate, with no meaningful protein, fat, or fiber. The water adds volume but no calories.
Apple cider vinegar is mostly water and acetic acid, with very small amounts of potassium and other minerals. Products standardized to 5 percent acidity provide roughly 750 milligrams of acetic acid per tablespoon, although acidity can differ by product.
This entry contains no honey, maple syrup, fruit juice, sugar, or sweetener. It is a recipe estimate based on USDA apple-cider-vinegar values and must be consumed diluted because concentrated acid can irritate the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and tooth enamel.
