The rationale was that, it would be easier to incorporate vegetables into multiple meals, rather than focusing solely on cooking with vegetables.…

I noticed that the pH is more acidic when vinegar was added to all of the vegetables. A pH less than 7 in considered a acid, 7 is neutral, and over 7 is considered an base. If you refer back to the tables, the pH was the lowest when vinegar was added to these vegetables, numbers including a range from three to five.
