Powdered vinegar is made by evaporating the liquid from regular vinegar, creating a powder perfect for adding a tangy flavor to foods.

Vinegar powder works well as a dry seasoning for crunchy snacks without making your food soggy. Many chip manufacturers use powdered vinegar in their pre-bagged snacks.

You can add powdered vinegar to all kinds of foods, including popcorn, homemade potato chips, french fries, dry rubs for meat, marinades, and salad dressings.

Powdered vinegar can be made from various types of vinegar. Depending on the application, you may want to opt for white, malt, apple cider, or balsamic.

White vinegar is your best bet for making salt and vinegar seasoning. Balsamic works well for marinades and dressings, and malt is great on veggies since it’s used for pickling.

The powder can be purchased in stores, ordered online, or made at home. Simply boil a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, dry it in the oven, and grind it into fine powder.
