There’s really nothing stopping you from pickling all of your vegetables.
And honestly, as a dietitian, I cant recommend it enough.
Whats not to love?
If you arent on the pickling train yet, soon you will be.
So if you arent ready to invest in some pickling jars, consider yourself warned.
What is pickling?
…
What foods can you pickle?
Cucumbers may rule the pickling kingdom, but pretty much any veggie can be pickled.
Got cauliflower florets hanging out in your crisper?
Radishes feeling a little soft?
Even veggies you might not think oflike asparagus or jalapenoscan benefit from a little pickling TLC.
The possibilities are endless (and delicious).
it’s possible for you to pickle foods beyond veggies too.
I am partial to pickled figs and shrimp, myself.
Theyre perfect as a side, topping, or snackand they fool everyone into thinking youre a kitchen master.
…
Pickled onions on a taco?
Chefs kiss.
Pickled carrots in a salad?
Instant pop of flavor and texture.
Are pickled vegetables good for you?
Heres where it gets even better.
Beyond their long fridge life and addictive tang, pickled vegetables can actually provide health benefits.
Plus, youre still getting a good dose of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants from the vegetables themselves.
But heres the thing, your fridge doesnt have to contribute to that statistic.
A quick refrigerator pickle recipe can take as little as 10 minutes of effort.
Grab some vinegar, experiment with spices (mustard seeds?
), and slice up any veggie that needs saving.
Pickling isnt just a recipeits a mindset.
