Vinegar

Vinegar is a sour liquid ingredient that comes from fermented sources like fruits, grains, or alcohol. It is often used in cooking and as a condiment to add tanginess or acidity to dishes.

To make vinegar, the fermentation process involves turning sugars into acetic acid with the help of bacteria. This process gives vinegar its sharp taste and distinct smell. Common types of vinegar include apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and white vinegar.

Vinegar appears on food labels because it enhances the flavour profile of many foods. It can be found in salad dressings, marinades, pickles, and sauces. Vinegar also acts as a natural preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of certain products. Its acidity can tenderise meats or vegetables, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking.
