Marinades are flavorful liquid mixtures used to enhance the taste and tenderness of various foods, particularly meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. They typically consist of an acid (such as vinegar, citrus juice, or yogurt), oil, and a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings. The acid helps to break down the fibers in the food, making it more tender, while the oil helps retain moisture and adds richness.

Popular ingredients in marinades include garlic, ginger, soy sauce, mustard, and honey, allowing for endless flavor combinations, from tangy and sweet to spicy and savory. Marinades not only add depth of flavor but also help in caramelizing the surface of grilled or roasted foods. The marinating time can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the ingredients and the food being prepared. Marinades are a simple yet effective way to elevate the taste and texture of your dishes.
