It is an excellent condiment sprinkled over vegetables and grain. Excellent on salads.
EDEN Brown Rice Vinegar is made from organically grown, cooked brown rice Oryza sative, koji Aspergillus oryzae, and pure water. The ingredients are blended, fermented, and allowed to age and mellow its taste. The enzymes in the koji break down the complex starches in the brown rice converting them to simple sugars, then alcohol, and finally acetic acid or vinegar. We bottle it in amber glass to protect nutrients, flavor and bouquet. 4.5 percent acidity.
A vinegar that is labeled 'rice vinegar' does not assure its quality. Many commercial vinegars are synthetic products made from glacial acetic acid, a petroleum product. Others are made from alcohol produced for industrial use. Please avoid any vinegar labeled 'distilled,' as it is a most highly refined chemical, not food.
Authentic brown rice vinegar is considered a very healthful food in Japan and is served with almost every meal.
Rice vinegar was brought from China to Japan in the fourth century A.D., at about the same time that the closely related process for making rice wine (sake) was introduced. Natural rice vinegar maintained its popularity in Japan until the early 1900s when the cheaper alcohol vinegar brewing method was developed. EDEN Brown Rice Vinegar is the healthiest, original version.
EDEN Brown Rice Vinegar is excellent for making dressings and sauces. Essential for vinegaring sushi rice with over 90 other uses in the recipe section of this site, including Quick Dill Pickles.
