Have you heard of rice vinegar? It's really not as popular as other vinegars, at least outside of Japan. It is more common to hear about sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar and even vinaigrette sauces.
But the nutritional contribution and subtlety in gastronomy that rice vinegar provides is what has made us dedicate this article to it today.
Let's learn a little more about rice vinegar. . .

Rice vinegar substitutes
In case you can't find rice vinegar and quickly need a substitute, a good choice is apple cider vinegar, since its acidity level is similar. Its fermentation process can be natural or with selected yeasts. And if you can't find it either, use the usual white vinegar, although its flavor will be more penetrating.
