What it is
Vinegar is a liquid made from the fermentation of ethanol (alcohol) by acetic acid bacteria. This process converts alcohol into acetic acid, which gives vinegar its characteristic sour taste and pungent smell. It can be made from a wide variety of sources, including grains, fruits, and wine.
Why it's used
Vinegar is primarily used as a flavor enhancer and preservative in foods. Its acidity adds tanginess to dishes and helps to balance other flavors. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, pickles, and relishes.
Health notes
Vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some research suggests acetic acid may have a modest effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated vinegar and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). While generally safe, consuming large amounts of undiluted vinegar can be harmful to tooth enamel and the digestive tract.
Allergen info
Vinegar is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless specifically made from a gluten-containing grain and not purified.
