4 Substitutes for Apple Cider Vinegar in Smoky BBQ Jackfruit Burgers

1. White wine vinegar

Ratio: 1:1

The closest substitute - slightly sharper and less fruity. Works in everything ACV does.

2. Lemon juice

Ratio: 1:1

Brighter and more citrusy - excellent in dressings. Also works to make vegan buttermilk.

3. Rice wine vinegar

Ratio: 1:1

Milder and slightly sweeter - better in Asian-inspired dishes and lighter dressings.

4. Red wine vinegar

Ratio: 1:1

Stronger and more complex - works in robust dishes but may overpower delicate flavours.
