In response to ""Pickles aren't made from vinegar, they come out of the ground like that." "No they... Wait, you think there's a thing called a pickle plant?" by Classroom Transcripts

OMG. Uh...but I thought it was brine?

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Oct 24 '19, 09:21

I love pickles but have generally avoided them since trying to eat low (ok...at this point...less) sodium

Responses:

nope. vinegar, sugar, salt and some spices -- nm - decline Oct 24, 09:24 3
- Salt makes it a brine, no? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 09:34 2
  - brine is technically salt + water (although most pickling recipes are vinegar w/ some water so I guess you could in generally call it a brine) -- nm - decline Oct 24, 09:37 1
    - and the pickling is because of the vinegar (not the salt or water). The vinegar is what causes the fermentation that preserves the veggies -- nm - decline Oct 24, 09:39
