Acar is a traditional Southeast Asian side dish, commonly found in Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean cuisines. This tangy pickle is made by fermenting or marinating a mix of vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, and sometimes chilies, in a spiced vinegar solution flavored with turmeric, ginger, garlic, and sugar. Often served as a condiment or accompaniment to rice and meat dishes, Acar provides a refreshing and zesty contrast to heavier flavors. Rich in probiotics from the fermentation process and packed with vitamins from fresh vegetables, Acar can support gut health and overall digestion. However, the high sugar or salt content typical in its preparation may be a concern for those monitoring their sodium or calorie intake. Its vibrant taste and crunchy texture have made it a beloved staple in Southeast Asian meals, prized for balancing complex dishes and adding a nutritious twist.
