Types of Vinegar and Their Benefits
In addition to Micho vinegar, there are many other types of vinegars, which are listed below.
(1) Rice Vinegar – Effects of Rice Vinegar
Rice vinegar is vinegar made from rice. It has been popular in Japan since ancient times. Because it is made from rice, it is used in Japanese cuisine such as sushi and vinegared dishes, and is characterized by the sweet and mild taste of rice.
Rice vinegar contains a large amount of “citric acid. Rice vinegar is made from rice, and when processed into vinegar, it is said to produce 15 types of amino acids and 70 types of organic acids.
The amino acids and other substances contained in rice vinegar help burn fat, making it effective for weight loss. Lactic acid, which is considered a cause of fatigue, is decomposed by citric acid, and the body changes to an alkaline state, which helps relieve fatigue.
Since rice vinegar contains a lot of citric acid, it can be expected to prevent kidney stones, which are said to be common among men in their 40s and older. It is also effective for arteriosclerosis and stiff shoulders because it thins the blood.
(2) Black Vinegar – Effects of Black Vinegar
Black vinegar is said to have existed since the Edo period. It is black in appearance and is said to be mellow and more aromatic than ordinary rice vinegar.
Black vinegar is made from brown rice, low-polished rice, barley, etc. It helps lower blood pressure and prevents a sudden rise in blood sugar levels. Like rice vinegar, it is rich in amino acids and is effective for weight loss as it reduces visceral fat.
(3) Fruit Vinegar – Effects of Fruit Vinegar
Fruit vinegar is vinegar made from one or more types of fruit as an ingredient.
Fruit vinegar is defined as vinegar when the total amount of fruits used is 300 grams or more per liter of vinegar. The popular “apple cider vinegar” is one of these fruit vinegars.
Compared to rice vinegar, it contains almost no amino acids, but is rich in citric acid and potassium, and is said to help relieve fatigue.
(4) Wine Vinegar – Benefits of Wine Vinegar
Wine vinegar is also classified as a fruit vinegar made from grapes. It is healthier than rice vinegar and has fewer sugar and calories. Since it is made from grapes, it is highly aromatic and fruity in taste.
Wine vinegar also contains a lot of acetic acid bacteria and has a high acidity. The acetic acid bacteria also help to thin the blood and regulate the intestinal environment. It is also rich in polyphenol, which helps prevent aging of the body through its antioxidant effect.
(5) Balsamic Vinegar – Benefits of Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic vinegar is a type of fruit vinegar made from grapes. The word “balsamic” is derived from the Italian word “balsamic,” meaning healthy or rejuvenating.
Balsamic vinegar is rich in potassium, which helps prevent anemia, lower cholesterol levels, and increase good cholesterol. It is also a strong anti-oxidant and anti-aging agent, and has three times the polyphenols of black vinegar.
However, nowadays, in addition to traditional vinegars aged only with grapes, many vinegars are made with coloring agents, caramel dyes, and antioxidants that are not aged long enough, so be careful about IGP and DOP certifications, origin, and quality.
Precautions for taking vinegar
Vinegar contains a variety of nutrients, but be careful not to drink too much, especially if you are diabetic or have high blood sugar levels, because drinkable vinegar drinks contain a lot of sugar.
If you drink vinegar on its own, it will upset your stomach and throat, so dilute it to at least 5 times its original volume. It is recommended to take about 1 tablespoon a day.
