Distilled vinegars (including vinegars in foods and condiments) are gluten-free because the distillation process filters out the large gluten proteins so they do not pass through to the end product making the finished liquid gluten free.
Which vinegars are gluten free?
Some examples of gluten-free vinegars include:
- Apple cider vinegar.
- Distilled vinegar/grain vinegar/spirit vinegar/white vinegar.
- Balsamic vinegar.
- Wine vinegar/grape vinegar.
Do balsamic vinegars have gluten in them?
Balsamic vinegar is made from grapes and it should be gluten-free. Interestingly enough, there is a small chance that the casks that balsamic vinegar could have gluten contamination from a wheat based paste that is sometimes used to seal those casks.
