Distilled White
Vinegar
The
Native Americans were right: Corn is our friend. Not only is it delicious on
the cob or off, it’s the source of white distilled vinegar, which – as our
grandmothers knew – can make a salad dressing or clean the walls with equal
aplomb.
Uses:
Revive
wilted vegetables:
Soak wilted greens or other vegetables in a bath of one tablespoon of white
vinegar to two cups of water for 10 minutes.
Keep
colors from running:
Add one cup of white vinegar to the wash to help set the color of new towels or
other items.
Prevent
cheese from getting moldy: Dampen a paper towel in white vinegar and wrap it
around hard cheese to prevent mold spores from forming.
After reading this I decided to check a little deeper into the many uses of vinegar. This is what I found:
Howard Garrett, also known as The Dirt Doctor, has compiled a number of uses for vinegar, including recipes for both internal use and use in your organic garden, which I will share with you here. This is a lengthy article but worth going to the site to read. It brings to light so many more uses of vinegar.
