About this food

Vinegar sits in the Herbs & Spices group. Herbs and spices are used in small amounts, so their mineral impact is minor. Dried, concentrated forms (like powders) do carry more potassium - use sparingly.

Nutrient insight

Vinegar's phosphorus (<1%) is worth noting - especially with Natural plant source (lower absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
