PICKLING vs FERMENTING - What's the Difference? Quick Grocery Store I.D.

What is the difference between pickled and fermented? This video explains the difference between pickling vs fermenting as identified in a US grocery store. Is it pickled or fermented?
===================================
NOTES ON THIS VIDEO:
** I would like to add these points to help clear up confusion.
*Re: PASTUERIZATION vs STERILIZATION: I made the mistake of using the words pasteurization and sterilization interchangeably. They are not the same and I should have been only using the word sterilization in regards to canning. This error is acknowledged, my apologies.
*Re: FERMENTED FOODS DO NOT NEED REFERIGERATION: The title of this video says "Quick Grocery Store I.D", meaning it addresses these foods when sold in a U.S. grocery store (and does not address home nor 'traditional' fermentations).
Re: FERMENTED FOODS DO NOT NEED REFERIGERATION: In the United States, by law, a live culture fermented food must be refrigerated when being sold in a grocery store. Again by law in the US, foods like fruits & vegetables (including pickles) that are to be sold on the shelf, must be 'canned'. **OTHER COUNTRIES DIFFER*
Re: FERMENTED FOODS DO NOT NEED REFERIGERATION: Live-Culture fermented foods can have longer term shelf stability (months +) under certain conditions. Home fermenters can experience this. However by law, if a live culture food is to be sold in a grocery store in the U.S., it must be transported via a refrigeration truck and sold in a refrigerator upon store destination. **OTHER COUNTRIES DIFFER*
*WHY DO I SEE SAUERKRAUT & KIMCHI ON THE SHELF AT A GROCERY STORE? If you see these foods on the shelf in a sealed glass jar or metal can, even if at one time is was a live culture fermentation, it has since been sterilized through the canning process. It is no longer a live culture food after the canning process.
*Re: PICKLED FOODS DO NOT NEED TO BE CANNED: The title of this video says "Quick Grocery Store I.D", meaning it addresses pickled foods when sold in a U.S. grocery store (and does not address all home nor 'traditional' pickling methods).
Re: PICKLED FOODS DO NOT NEED TO BE CANNED: By law in the US, foods like fruits & vegetables (including pickles) that are to be sold on the shelf, must be 'canned'. **OTHER COUNTRIES DIFFER* There are non-pickled foods that are canned on the shelf as well. As the video states, read the ingredients and if you see "vinegar" as a main ingredient, it is a pickled food that has been canned.
*Re: PICKLED FOODS DO NOT NEED TO BE CANNED: There is another type of pickle called a "refrigerator pickle" that does not go through the canning process. This type of pickle is not sold on a grocery store shelf and is further addressed in part 2 (the sequel to this video) which can be seen here: • VINEGAR PICKLE vs. FER...

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Claussen is a "refrigerator pickle ", thats actually the technical name of that style of vinegar pickle. it's not fermented. Claussen was the originator of the "refrigerator pickle " in their quest to develop the pickle with the best crunch. They found when a vinegar pickle was super cold, it had better crunch. That's all there is to it with Clausen, zero fermentation going on there as with anything in vinegar.

Last year was my first foray into home fermentation, after very many years of gardening. I made kraut, beet kvass, and fermented a couple of jars of Italian tomatoes with mint leaves and garlic, and also mint leaves with onions. The tomatoes were so darn good they were basically like a sauce all by themselves, not even heated! My favorite kraut included shredded beets. 😋

[@michaelham2366]

One thing I particularly like about fermenting vegetables (and also making tempeh) is that I can choose my own combinations. One batch of fermented vegetables I particularly like is beets and leeks. I admit that I chose them because I liked how the name sounded, but it turned out delicious. And I make lots of tempeh combinations I could not buy: black bean and intact whole rye; or chickpea and peanut. Right now I'm eating a black-eyed pea and peanut tempeh that's terrific, and in the fridge I have red cabbage and red onion kraut (with jalapeños). I also have some refrigerator pickles (pickles that were not sterilized (or fermented) of jalapeños and a little red onion.

There is a 3rd way, we Pickle our "carrots" with: (1)A "brine" of: 7 cups of water, 1 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup of salt (1/4 cup of sugar is optional) "ratio". (2)Put the washed "raw garden carrots" (uncooked, not peeled, & usually cut in half lengthwise) in glass Mason jars with dill weed and garlic. (3)Then "BOIL this brine" and immediately pour it into the Mason jars to 'nearly' full to the top. Screw the 2 piece lids on tight. (4) Let the brine cool and the lids will naturally pop down. ~("NO" pressure canning or "NO" water bath canning is required for our "vinegar brine" Pickling.)

If you sterilize the jars and fill them with boiled brine to create a hermetic seal, the fermented vegetables can also be stored long term on a shelf. However, it's recommended to store them in a cellar at a lower than room temperature. You definitely do not need to keep them in fridge, fermentation was used to store vegetables long before refrigerators were invented.

@@yarpenzigrin1893 but you're pouring boiling water into the the jar with the fermented vegetables?

[@yarpenzigrin1893]

@@hammothw4814 Yes, if you want to store the jars long term it should be boiled water. It doesn't need to be boiling at the time of pouring but it should be preboiled and hot. After pouring salted water into the sterilized jar you close the lid and turn the jar upside down. This creates a hermetic seal when the contents of the jar cool down. After a day or two, when you see visible signs of fermentation, you should move the jars to a cold and dark place like a cellar. After about three weeks the fermentation will be done. Properly steririlized and stored jars will last for over a year.

I think you’re killing all the good bacteria with the hot water😊

I was born and grew up in Argentina, Polish descendant, my grandma used to make fermented cucumbers in her farm and I loved them. Now I try to make them because nobody knows them in America

Thank you. I hate vinegary pickles and veggies. I'll search for fermented veggies instead. I THINK YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

Came for the pickle info, stayed for the GORGEOUS kitchen 😍 excellent video 💕

[@dermotwhelan4714]

Great tutorial. Thank you. I make pickles in small batches so they are consumed quite quickly. I pickle for flavour rather than preservation. I do bring my pickling juice to the boil but do not pasteurise the vegetables after adding the juice. I immediately refrigerate. Any food safety issues with this? I have had none to date, but don’t want to take risks obviously. Thanks for your time.

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Sounds like you're making refrigerator pickles! The full steriization is for canning process to create long term shelf stability. Not needed for refrigerator pickles 🙂

[@pizzatopia]

since you're probably fermenting the food instead of pickling, there is a good chance for bacteria to grow, and the aerobic ones are what you don't want, and the way to prevent your pickles from going bad early, is just to weigh them down with a weight. U can just get a ziplock bag, fill with drinking water, enough to weigh the pickles down and keep them from coming above the surface of the brine. anaerobic bacteria are what i cultivate in my ferments, and the concept is the same - keep the vegs under the surface of the brine. Soon, i will make my own ceramic weights, because sometimes i find the ziplock bags don't stay zipped and the water can leak out into the ferment material, which isn't good as it dilutes the salt concentration.

My mother used to ferment the little cucumbers and my father used to do sour craut in a barrel. Both of the product lasted for more then 1/2 a year. Past that, there was usually nothing left. P.S. never refrigerated....maybe after opening the jar....

[@nicks4802]

Its external bacteria contamination that sets things off. Thus why so many things say to refrigerate after opening…. The cold minimizes the growth and cultivation of the airborn bacteria that enters the food upon opening. Im BIG on refrigeration after opening. But, i know what can and cant be stored in a cool dry place. Cured and preserved meats, for example, which i love, alot of the time, dont require refrigeration, but are just nice to have served cold. Its also why workplace hygiene is important when you work in the food packaging industry.

Same here, homemade sauerkraut stayed in the fermenter in the cellar for months. No refrigeration.

Wow!! I had no idea about these differences. Actually I was going to prepare a probiotic pickle. I am happy I came across your video. Thanks a lot dear.

[@lisabloomfield6406]

I am so glad i came across your videos!! ❤ I'm so grateful and excited to learn all about fermentation! Your videos are so informative and detailed. Thank you so much!

[@guise314]

I disagree with the video. Pickling originally meant fermented. All pickling WAS fermentation -- that is until the modern more industrial food system decided they needed a more shelf stable, non-refrigerated option. But yes, the modern lingo calls these "pickles." Also, the video states that fermented vegetables need to be in the fridge after the initial 3-10 day fermentation period. This is untrue. Almost all cultures have practiced fermentation precisely because it doesn't need refrigeration. To do this more effectively, an initial much shorter fermentation period occurs (to make sure the process gets a good jump start), and then it is placed in a cool, dark place to slow ferment for months. This allows fall veggies to be eaten in winter and spring. No refrigeration necessary.

[@arrielmc.d9242]

Yap. Like that. Firts part of the process of pickling is the lactic acid fermentation in water-salt solution. Fermentation is the way to do this particular "cooking" of the food, that results crunchy, aour and salty. After that salt content can be adjusted, reduced. Vinegar is added like reinforcement of the low pH, that creates a barrier to pathogens. And only then the product is pasteurized. That is an option for the industry to ensure long term conservation, ad of course, is a process that destroys some nutrients and the lactic acid bacteria, and other bacteria. I don't really know if there are low quality pickles that avoid fermentation substituting this for other industrial fast proces. But the fermentation process is cheap, the industry uses to do this in food containers in outdoor storage. Then, the thiference is only that pickles are fermented food but pasteurized before selling.

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

Yup, this. I'm glad somebody said it already.

[@Ellestra]

@@arrielmc.d9242 No adding vinegar. It changes the taste. Just pasteurise to vacuum seal. Lactofermentation (just like alcohol fermentation) makes the environment mostly sterile anyway since low pH kills other bacteria. You just don't want mould to get there..

Ma'am your video is top quality. I have never watched a video that was so well read, wholesome, and with the right amount of information. I believe both beginners and experienced "canners" can learn from it. Thank you and keep it up. This is my first time on your channel, and I subscribed right away.
