Flax Original is delicious mixed into your food and can enhance the flavour because it adds a creaminess.
Try these ideas to instantly improve the nutritive value of your meal:

• Drizzle over hot vegetables
• Use to mash potatoes instead of butter or milk
• Mix into soups or stews (after cooking is finished)
• Add to porridge
• Blend into smoothies

1. Mix up a non-toxic, all-purpose cleaner.
Just mix one part Apple Cider Vinegar with one part water, filter that into a spray bottle, and get to work. 

2. Stamp out the smell in any room.
To knock out smoky smells in particular, pour the Apple Cider Vinegar into a shallow bowl and place it where the odor is strongest . Leave it out for as long as it takes for the smell to vanish.

3. Make your garden grow—without a single weed.
It can be used as fertilizer (particularly on plants that love acids, like blueberry bushes) and also as a weed killer. Pour it directly on weed infested areas, and mix 10 ounces of Apple Cider Vinegar (with a five percent acidity) with 10 gallons of water to fertilize soil. 

4. Keep pets flea-free.
When you need to keep fleas away from your pets, turn to Apple Cider Vinegar for the solution. Dilute it with water (one part of each) and rub the mixture into their fur and work it into their skin to repel those pests.  

5. Enhance your hair.
Rinsing your strands with Apple Cider Vinegar lowers the pH of your scalp and can assist with greasiness, itchiness, and irritation. Try combining a tablespoon or two in a glass of water and rinsing your hair with the mixture while you’re in the shower. For extreme itchiness, combine a quarter cup Apple Cider Vinegar with a quarter cup water, pour it into a spray bottle, apply the mixture to your scalp, and leave it on for up to an hour before rinsing.

6. Improve your complexion.
Use it as an astringent (just dilute it and apply it to your face), or use it as a spot treatment to target blemishes. 

7. Swap out your deodorant.
Just as it can freshen up your bathroom, Apple Cider Vinegar can also help keep B.O. at bay. Simply swipe some of it in your underarm area and don’t worry: The vinegar smell evaporates.

8. Relieve burnt skin. 
Add about a cup of the good stuff to your bath water to help soothe the burn.

9. Whiten your teeth.
As it turns out, working it into your teeth and then rinsing may lead to a whiter grin. You can also try using it as a mouthwash - dentists suggest combining two parts water to one part Apple Cider Vinegar and swishing it around for about a minute.

10. Freshen your skin after shaving.
Diluted with water (you’ll want to do one part Apple Cider Vinegar and one part water), this solution can help soothe your skin. And remember: the smell of this natural aftershave will dissipate with a little time!

11. Mix up condiments (vinaigrettes, sauces, and marinades).
Apple Cider Vinegar has an amazing flavour to liven up vinaigettes, sauces and marindades. 

12. Make your own tasty juice.
While drinking Apple Cider Vinegar in general is linked to a range of health benefits, you can also create your own concoctions.. After all, why swallow it solo when you can pair it with much more palatable ingredients, like grape juice or honey.

13. Add a punch of flavor to soups.
Apple Cider Vinegar can also add just the right punch of flavor to soups. Try adding it in a veggie soup.

14. Boost your baking game.
It can help give batters a lift. And because its mild flavor is undectable in sweets, it’s an especially good option for those homemade treats.

15. Stop the itch and scratching
Whether your scratching is due to a bug bite,or even a sting, Apple Cider Vinegar can help with these painful and uncomfortable side effects. Just apply the solution directly to your itchy area, and let Apple Cider Vinegar take you to an “Ahhh” moment of relief.

16. Detox, detox, detox.
Adding in a splash or two of Apple Cider Vinegar to your meals may assist with body detoxification.

Hot liquids: Add one tablespoon to small amount of cold liquid and let it stand for one minute, then add hot liquid and stir until dissolved.
