White vinegar

Also called: Khal cad (Soomaali) · Vinaigre blanc (Français) · خل أبيض (العربية)

Good to know

Plain white (distilled) vinegar is sharp and clean-tasting, and won’t colour light sauces the way darker vinegars do. For cooking, check the label says 5% acidity; stronger ‘cleaning vinegar’ isn’t meant for food.
