Pickling Procedures
Pickling is a process used for food preservation by immersing items in an acidic solution, typically vinegar or brine, to inhibit bacterial growth and extend shelf life.
Types of Pickling:
- Quick Pickles: Vegetables are directly immersed in a vinegar solution without fermentation.
- Fermented Pickles: Lactic acid bacteria naturally develop during fermentation, enhancing flavor and texture.
