vinegared

Treated with sourness

Vinegared describes food that has been treated with or preserved in vinegar: vinegared cucumbers, vinegared rice for sushi.

The word emphasizes the process or result rather than the taste—something vinegared has had vinegar applied to it, while something vinegary merely tastes sharp or sour.
