Distilled Vinegar

Distilled Vinegar is a clear, sharply acidic vinegar made by fermenting distilled grain alcohol and is widely used in cooking, pickling and cleaning for its strong, neutral flavor. It’s commonly labeled by strength (e.g., 5–12% acidity) and appears in cuisines worldwide where a clean, bright sourness is desired. Nutritionally Distilled Vinegar is very low in energy at 18kcal per 100g and contains virtually no fat, protein or carbohydrates, so it contributes flavor without calories when used sparingly. Its main active component is acetic acid rather than macronutrients. Although used in small amounts, the acetic acid in vinegar has been linked in studies to modest benefits such as slowing carbohydrate absorption and helping with blood sugar control when consumed with starchy meals; it can also enhance perceived fullness and reduce the need for added fats in dressings and sauces.
