Confused by vinegar!
| Mon, 03-05-2007 - 10:30am |
Hi ladies! My DH made me dinner last night while I was out, and he used rice wine vinegar to make the salad dressing, thinking that balsamic would have too much sugar for my diet. However, I read the label to the rice wine vinegar, and sugar was on the ingredient list, with 4 grams indicated on the nutrition label. I then checked the balsamic, and there's nothing else but balsamic on the ingredient list, however there are also 4 grams of sugar listed on the label. Can I use the balsamic to make a dressing, since there's no added sugar? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I started mulling it over and then confused myself. I am only on day 2 of P1, so I'm very green. Thanks for your help!

Any type of vinegar is acceptable for South Beach. Because it's used as a condiment and in small quantities, it doesn't matter what the sugar content says - most vinegar will have natural sugars. If you want to be really strict, you can avoid those that have sugar added as an ingredient.
Hi,
I just wanted to make some clarifications on the vinegar.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Hmmm...I've never seen 'seasoned' rice vinegar. I guess that's a good thing. ;-p
