Smoke & Powders - Vinegar

Vinegar powder is the powdered version of a liquid solution, such as apple cider or ethyl alcohol, which has been fermented once with bacteria, converting the natural sugars into alcohol and then fermented a second time to convert the solution into acetic acid or vinegar. Fermenting the solution twice turns the liquid into a sour tasting substance. There are numerous materials containing sugar that are used to create vinegar such as fruits (apples, berries, coconuts, grapes, melons, peaches), grains (sorghum, rice, barley malt), whey, sugars (molasses, sugar cane, honey, maple syrup), and vegetables (beets, potatoes) however, the most commonly used varieties are apple cider vinegar and distilled white vinegar, also known as spirit vinegar. Very pungent powdered version of the well-known liquid, vinegar powder is great for dressings, dips, or adding to French fries and chips.
