vinegar

Vinegar is a liquid that's sour and can make your face pucker. You've probably tasted it before.

When people talk about vinegar, they usually mean the kind used for cooking. They might be talking about how to use it as an ingredient in salad dressings or sauces to give them a tangy flavor. Some people also use vinegar as a natural way to clean surfaces or preserve food without added chemicals. For example, you might hear someone saying, "This salad needs some vinegar to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes." Or, "I'm using apple cider vinegar to make pickles for my garden harvest."
