Lemon vinegar is vinegar with a noticeable lemon flavor. It may be made by fermenting lemons or by infusing vinegar with lemon, so products can differ in taste and acidity. It is used as a tangy ingredient in dressings, marinades, and sauces.
Use lemon vinegar in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, or cooked vegetables. Its lemony acidity can brighten a dish, but it may taste sharper than lemon juice, so add a little first and adjust to taste.
Lemon vinegar can be made by fermenting lemons or by steeping lemon in vinegar. For a homemade fermented version, use clean equipment and discard it if mold, an unpleasant odor, or an unusual appearance develops.
No. Lemon vinegar has a vinegar base and often a fermented tang, while lemon juice is freshly squeezed citrus juice. They can both add acidity, but swapping one for the other changes the flavor of a recipe.
No reliable evidence shows that lemon vinegar causes weight loss on its own. It can add flavor to food, but it should not be treated as a slimming remedy or a substitute for an overall eating plan.
Yes, but dilute it rather than drinking it straight. Undiluted vinegar can irritate the mouth and throat, and frequent exposure to acidic drinks may affect tooth enamel; rinsing your mouth with water afterward can help.
Keep lemon vinegar tightly closed in a cool, dark place. Homemade versions should be stored in a clean container; discard them if you see mold or notice an unusual odor or appearance.
Sometimes, but it will add a more vinegary flavor than lemon juice. Lemon vinegar works well in dressings and marinades; for baking or recipes where fresh citrus flavor matters, lemon juice is usually the better choice.
Yes, lemon vinegar can flavor fish marinades, but avoid leaving fish in an acidic mixture for too long because the texture can change. Keep it refrigerated while marinating and cook it safely afterward.
Lemon juice or plain vinegar can substitute, depending on the recipe. Lemon juice gives a fresher citrus taste, while plain vinegar gives acidity without the lemon aroma; adding a little lemon zest can bring the latter closer.

Lemon vinegar is vinegar brightened with lemon juice, peel or flavour, with the balance of sharpness and citrus aroma varying by recipe. It is used in many kitchens as a tangy seasoning rather than a drink or a dish on its own. Stir it into salad dressings, splash it over cooked vegetables, or use it in marinades for fish and other proteins; a little can lift rich or savoury flavours. It is very low in calories, so its main contribution is acidity and freshness, not energy or substantial nutrients. For an easy dressing, whisk a small amount with olive oil and herbs, then adjust to taste.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
