Cathy Isom is celebrating the common household product you can eat and clean with. That’s coming up on This Land of Ours.
Celebrating National Vinegar Day
Vinegar is a common household product that brightens many salads, is used in canning and can shine up a window, too! And on November 1 This Land of Ours recognizes National Vinegar Day! Vinegar is produced either by a fast or a slow fermentation process. Slow methods are generally 
used with traditional vinegar and the fermentation proceeds slowly over the course of months or up to a year.
There are many varieties of vinegar, including: Apple cider, Balsamic, Beer, Cane, Coconut, Date, Distilled vinegar, Rice, Sherry vinegar, White and Wine.
Vinegar is also an essential ingredient in mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce and mayonnaise. It’s a popular condiment for fish and chips, used as a flavoring for potato chips, as a dip for crab meat, and a substitute for fresh lemon juice. Some forms of vinegar are are believed to have health benefits, are often used in cleaning, as well as gardening and pest control.
