Everyone knows that vinegar is considered one of the most important ingredients for making borscht.
First of all, it is responsible for the appearance of the desired degree of sourness, which distinguishes the classic dish from many other soups.
It is also this component that acts as a “color fixer,” recalls chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
But not everyone likes the idea of vinegar: many people feel its flavor even in small quantities.
In terms of its mechanism of action, this variety is practically no different from the classic product. However, the taste of apple cider vinegar is somewhat softer and more pleasant.
This ingredient can perform exactly the same tasks as vinegar. In order to add sourness and preserve the color of the soup, you will need to use just one pinch of powder.
This component is best added to the container with beets. This will allow you to be absolutely sure that the color will be preserved.
