Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider VinegarThis organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) comes from apple orchards in Himachal and is raw, organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized hence contains a wealth of raw enzymes and beneficial bacteria. After a really really long search, Healthy Buddha finally found an authentic and reliable source that could make this for us.
Since this is a natural vinegar, some layer of ‘mother of vinegar’ will develop on top, when in contact with oxygen (this is a sign of purity and nothing to worry, simply needs to be shaken and consumed). Also the acidity will slowly increase over time. Contains only fermented apple juice with an acidity of 3.5% – 5%. Shelf life of 10-12 months.
ACV is made by fermenting the sugar in apples and this process created acetic acid which makes the ACV acidic. Hence an over-dose or excess of it can cause stomach upset or diarrhea. Moderation is advised. 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of water (can be warm or normal) is known to dilute the acidity (1 teaspoon of honey can be added to the combination as well), however, its best to adjust the proportion to your body type.
Uses: Drinking apple cider vinegar daily is a sure way to improve every aspect of one’s health and life. Just keep in mind that drinking apple cider vinegar straight from the bottle is not recommended as it can burn your esophagus. Instead, mix one tablespoon with 250 ml of water.

Brown Basmati Rice
Brown Basmati RiceThis aromatic and flavorsome rice comes from farms in the Northern belt. Brown basmati rice is full of different nutrients and contains a mixture of vitamins and minerals that correspond to its rich flavor and nutty aroma.
In general, brown rices are more full of nutrients than their white rice relatives, and brown basmati rice is one of the most nutrient-rich of them all. One of main reasons why brown rice is healthier is because while processing, only the outermost layer, the hull, of the rice kernel is removed and hence is the least damaging to its nutritional value.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.
Uses: Brown basmati rice generally cooks more quickly. It is recommended to rinse the rice well before cooking and soak it in water for 30-45 minutes. Ration of rice to water can be in the proportion of 1:2-2.5 cups
