The principle of sweet and sour garlic is that acetic acid degrades somatic cells.

after the degradation of somatic cells by acetic acid, the selective permeability is weakened, the water in somatic cells is discharged, and acetic acid and sugar enter somatic cells. The main components of white vinegar and aged vinegar are acetic acid, and both of them can be used. However, it must be pointed out that there are some white vinegar mixed with acetic acid in the market at present. This kind of vinegar not only has no taste of grain, but also is not good for physical and mental health if eaten for a long time. Therefore, whether you use white vinegar or aged vinegar to pickle sweet and sour garlic, you should choose vinegar made from grains as much as possible.

It must be noted that the acetic acid concentration of aged vinegar is much higher than that of white vinegar. In the case of pickled sweet and sour garlic, the dosage of the two kinds of vinegar is different. When mixed together, the demand must be strictly controlled to prevent too much or too little vinegar from weakening the taste of pickled sweet and sour garlic.
