What is the acidity of apple cider vinegar?

I've been thinking of incorporating apple cider vinegar into my diet for its health benefits, but I'm a bit concerned about its acidity. What is the general acidity level of apple cider vinegar? I want to make sure it's safe for me.

Honestly, knowing the acidity can be helpful, especially if you're sensitive like me. I tried ACV once and my stomach was a mess. It's really strong, so if you're trying it, dilute it properly. Don't feel bad if it doesn't work for you.

Hey, don't stress too much about the exact number! Just know it's pretty acidic, so always dilute it with water before drinking. My mom swears by it for digestion, but she always dilutes it well. Your teeth will thank you!

Apple cider vinegar is quite acidic, usually with a pH of 2.5-3.0. I once had a friend who drank it undiluted and had some serious tooth enamel erosion and stomach irritation. Please, if you're using it, always dilute it and consult your doctor, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions.

ACV typically has a pH of around 2.5 to 3.0, making it quite acidic. Some health apps actually track your fluid intake and can even remind you to dilute things like ACV. Good to be aware of the pH for gut health.

It's pretty acidic, yaar. Like, strong acidic. Around pH 2.5-3.0. Tried drinking it straight once thinking it would be a quick fix for something, biggest mistake. Burnt my throat a bit. Always dilute it, seriously.
