10% spirit vinegar
Description
Spirit vinegar 10% is a colorless, clear liquid with a distinctly sour, sharp taste and an intense, irritating aroma; the concentration of 10% ethyl acetate makes it stronger than typical table vinegar. From a nutritional standpoint, it provides almost no calories or macronutrients, but it has properties that support digestion, acts as an antibacterial and preservative, and when used moderately, it may help with glycemic control; however, excessive consumption should be avoided in cases of reflux, ulcers, or dental issues. In the kitchen, it is suitable for marinades, pickling vegetables, seasoning sauces and salads, as well as being an ingredient in preserving products, and for degreasing and cleaning surfaces. Store in a tightly closed bottle, preferably glass or stainless steel, in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and children; it has a long shelf life.
