Illustrated by Anna Sudit.We've been raving about the magical properties of coconut oil for quite some time now. With good reasons: It's versatile, and it has plenty of health and beauty benefits. But, while we don't know if we're ready to discount this multipurpose wonder altogether, there's a new super-ingredient in town to give it some serious competition. Enter: apple cider vinegar.
