pickled foods

Jarred in brine

Foods preserved in brine, vinegar, or a similar acidic solution.

The process prevents spoilage and imparts a distinctive sour or tangy flavor.

Cucumbers become pickles, cabbage becomes sauerkraut or kimchi, and countless vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meats undergo pickling across world cuisines: The deli counter featured an array of pickled foods.
