JWhole30 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I see several recipes claiming to be Whole30 compliant that call for rice vinegar. This is okay to use? Why? If not, any thoughts on what to sub? I'm specifically looking at sunshine sauce. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yep, rice vinegar is fine as long as there are no added sulfites or other forbidden additives. I believe the only vinegar not allowed is malt vinegar. I think it has to do with the process of making the vinegars, but I'll leave the science to the mods! FYI - if the sunshine sauce recipe is from Well Fed, everything in there is Whole30-approved except for the fruit crisp at the end, I think.

GFChris Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Rice vinegar is fine, per the Whole30 rules. "Vinegar. Most forms of vinegar, including white, balsamic, apple cider, red wine, and rice, are allowed during your Whole30 program. The only exceptions are vinegars with added sugar, or malt vinegar, which generally contains gluten." - See more at: http://whole30.com/whole30-program-rules/#sthash.c5qZoF5k.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2014 The reason why rice vinegar is okay is because the fermentation process transforms the rice essence into a form that does not cause trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
