Trivia
[For Health Conscious] A massive staple in every Taiwanese eatery 'Xiaocai' corner. Unlike Japanese sweet vinegar tosses, Taiwan black vinegar's 'mellow richness' and massive 'ginger/garlic' make it a splendid rice side (or beer snack) despite zero calories. No better ingredient for constipation relief during diets.
