TAIYUAN, China, July 26 (Bernama-AsiaNet) — When people think of China’s Shanxi province, the ancient “Mature Vinegar” with over 3,000 years of history comes to mind. This unique vinegar, known for its sour, fragrant, sweet, mellow, and fresh flavors, undergoes five main steps and 82 procedures, including steaming, fermenting, smoking, drenching, and aging. The process can take anywhere from one year to over ten years to complete.
The saying “A bit of vinegar in your home, no need to see the doc alone” reflects the long-standing recognition of vinegar’s health benefits by the people of Shanxi. In recent years, Shanxi has introduced vinegar-based health products and food-medicine homology products, further enhancing the health benefits of Shanxi Mature Vinegar.
