Tomato vinegar is a unique condiment that not only adds an interesting flavour and aroma to recipes, but is also rich in nutrients. Here are some of the key differences between tomato vinegar and other types of vinegar:
- Tomato vinegar is made by fermenting tomato juice or tomato paste, while balsamic vinegar is made by boiling grapes, wine or other acidic juices and then aging them to the right consistency. Finally, apple vinegar is made by fermenting apples (again without adding sugar).
