Training on making ‘hawthorn vinegar’ naturally for women in Çameli.

DENIZLI (IHA) – In the Çameli district of Denizli, an educational program was organized for women on the natural production of hawthorn vinegar, which has preventive effects against hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, in collaboration with the Denizli Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry and the Çameli District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry.

Thanks to the natural structure and climate of the Çameli district, many fruits are grown in the region. Especially regarding the production of hawthorn vinegar, which has preventive effects against hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, an educational program was organized for women in collaboration with the Denizli Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry and the Çameli District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry. The training was attended by Çameli Mayor Cengiz Arslan, District Director of Agriculture and Forestry Adem Yavuz, President of the Çameli Chamber of Agriculture Hamit Tuncer, and the Çameli Elmalı Women’s Cooperative team. In the theoretical part of the training, Oya Çelik discussed the positive effects of naturally produced products on health and their properties that enhance quality of life. In the practical training, the hawthorn fruits, which grow abundantly in the Çameli district, were harvested and prepared for processing by the participating women. Under the guidance of Aysel Işıklıgöz, the stages of natural hawthorn vinegar production were demonstrated practically. Detailed information was provided about the vinegar-making process, and its benefits for the body were highlighted.

“We thank you for this meaningful event”

At the end of the event, Çameli Mayor Cengiz Arslan made a statement, saying, “Many fruits and vegetables are grown in our region. We also support women in our neighborhoods with various projects. Although we are in the Aegean region, the Mediterranean climate is more dominant in our district. We have been consuming hawthorn fruit both fresh and dried for years. Additionally, the leaves of the hawthorn tree are also beneficial. Today, we thank the Denizli Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, which has been with us in teaching women how to make hawthorn vinegar naturally, and we appreciate the contributions of the Çameli Elmalı Women’s Cooperative, the District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Çameli Chamber of Agriculture for making this meaningful event possible.”
