How to use "Sour" in context?
Sour has a long and varied history, with variations found all over the world. In many cases, sour is created when a fermentation process causes the bacteria that make lactic acid to overflow, creating a sour taste. In some cases, sour is produced from combining vinegar with other fruits or vegetables.
Sour is generally associated with food, but it has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. In India, for example, sour foods are used to treat a wide range of ailments, from constipation to diarrhea. In China, sour foods are believed to be effective in treating colds and the flu.
