About Corn vinegar

Corn vinegar is vinegar made from a corn-derived starting material, as indicated by its name. The label does not specify the fermentation process, acidity, dilution, or whether the corn material is first converted into another fermentable ingredient.

It can be used as an acidic, tangy ingredient in foods, including dressings, sauces, or preparations where vinegar is used. It is typically encountered as a liquid, but colour, flavour intensity, and other characteristics depend on production and any further processing.
