Why Pickle?

It's not just for that tangy, sour, delicious flavor! Pickling began as a way to preserve food, long before we had houses with refrigerators and running electricity. With this method, people could enjoy their vegetables for months or even years after they were picked! More recently, however, it's become clear that pickling may offer significant health advantages as well. A form of fermentation, pickling often produces food that is rich in antioxidants and probiotic bacteria.
