WHAT IS PICKLING ALL ABOUT?
Pickling is a process of preserving food by soaking it in vinegar or brine (a mixture of salt and water). It can be used to protect any kind of vegetable, a lot of fruits, meats, and other foods like eggs. Use pickles in your lunchtime sarnie to inject more flavour into your dinner or just as a late-night snack straight from the jar. Essentially, pickling elongates the life of any perishable item as the acidic solution prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, which contributes to the delicious pickle’s characteristic sour and tangy taste.
