Crazy for Coconut (Vinegar)

"The next time you are making a marinade, curry or soup,
you can boost the nutrients and give your dish an exotic flair
by adding coconut vinegar. A staple of Filipino cuisine, coconut
vinegar is made from the sap of the tree rather than the nut itself,
so it doesn't taste like something that belongs in a pina colada.
Rather, it's a milder and less acidic vinegar that delivers essential
B vitamins and amino acids. If you were still wondering how to use it,
try these swaps..."

"USE IN Vinaigrettes
INSTEAD OF Red wine or balsamic vinegar

USE IN Sweet-and-Sour sauce
INSTEAD OF Apple cider vinegar

USE IN Stir-fries
INSTEAD OF Rice wine vinegar

USE IN Pad Thai
INSTEAD OF White wine vinegar"
