What vinegar to use for pickling?

Answer 1

The commonest type of vinegar used for pickling is either distilled white or malt (brown). Use white vinegar if you don't want malt vinegar to darken the colour of the pickled items (hard-boiled eggs, whole or sliced onions, and other vegetables, etc). The vinegar used to pickle beetroot would not matter as the strong dark redness of the beetroot would override a malt vinegar.

Answer 2

There is a type of vinegar called pikling vinegar you can buy at Gordon's Food Service. I think.

Answer 3

To make refrigerator pickles, we use apple cider vinegar

Answer 4

White vinegar is the best vinegar to use for pickling eggs.

Answer 5

Any vinegar is ok but to avoid adding any other dlavors I would just use the white distilled vinegar
