[@terrywereb7639]

Question: historically, stores had pickle barrels. A person could reach in and pull out a dill pickle. Was the pickling brine the reason that barrel could be "open" in the store? Any time I buy a jar of pickles, " refrigerate after opening" is on the label.

[@kaymack5304]

Add mustard seeds and strips of horseradish for extra flavor!

[@alexiachimciuc3199]

​@@greengreen110 for pickling using just salt and water there's a need to avoid contact with air after opening. If not ar room temperature any part of the cucumber above the fluid will turn to mush. To prevent that after opening keep it in a cold place. Same for the unopened container. To prevent any mushing I keep down my cucumber with a rack made from thin branches from a sawer cherry tree. About the thickness of a pencil they are flexible and I wedge them underneath the jar neck pushing the cucumbers down and fill the jar carefully so the liquid will be above them. For non-fermented pickles using citric or vinegar there's no reason to keep it in the fridge after opening.

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.

[@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.

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]

@@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.

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.)

The very first thing my dad helped me to do was build raised bed, and I started planting. I've never even planted a flower before! I had a cactus when I was a kid, and it died. BUT - absolutely everything I planted grew, and I had so much food I literally couldn't give it away in the end, I'd fed every family member, every friend, every neighbour, and the food was going off on my kitchen counter! I hadn't given preserving things a thought 😬. So over the last 3 months I've been researching, and investing, in things that are completely alien to me. I've got cupboards full of glass jars, and things I fermented a month or so ago still sat in the cupboard. There's things in there, everything has a date on it, but I can't remember if it was vinegar or salt water they're sat in 😣. I thought all of this stuff could just sit on the shelves for up to a year. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I have a pressure canner on the way, and some fermentation weights and lids. I think I'm going to call it a day for this year - I've learnt so much. I know I've made mistakes, and this video has made everything a lot clearer for me.

I have had none to date, but don’t want to take risks obviously. Thanks for your time.

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.

Assuming the information is accurate, it was articulated in very clear, concise, and simple laymen's terms!! With courage and new inspiration, I shall try fermenting! Thanks!! S. Carolina

[@lasa1211]

Your explanation is wonderful! Growing up I was familiar with Sauerkraut but my family mostly ate fresh or picked veggie. Now I want to eat more fermented vegetables, especially when they're super cheap and in season. Thank you

[@april6662]

Thank you for clear concise information/ instructions👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Will surely be working with your vids!!

[@ronoconnor8971]

I was going to mention Bubbies. They have a milky looking substance in the bottom of the jar. My store sold them, stopped selling them then after popular request they are back. Thanks for the info!

[@jiritichy6855]

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.

[@marcusaetius9309]

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

Thanks!

Thank you so much!🥰

[@TheTamrock2007]

Subscribed and liked. Thanks for the education, eager to go through your videos

[@AndriiMuliar]

We made fermented vegetables and store them in cool place (10-15 C) for whole winter. All you need is to submerge all vegetables under brine (put another lid and stone) and close lit tightly.

[@fallensway855]

Thank you, I found this amazingly fascinating. I can’t believe I never thought to look at the difference of the two.

[@freakinfrugal5268]

Re: pickling brine, why would you need to pasteurize vinegar?

[@dravonwalker2352]

Marvelous clear, concise, and understandable explanation. Thank you so much! I’m now subscribing…

I have made home made hot sauce with fresh red ripe jalopeno type peppers from my garden pureed and cooked with vinegar and salt and included onions/garlic I think. I managed to get some oil on top due to what ever recipe it was. . . asian, I think. It was only one pint jar. I didn't can it, but put it in the refrigerator where it stayed for over a year before I used the whole thing up. The amazing thing about this pickled hot sauce recipe is, it also began to ferment even with the cooked vinegar situation and became better as time went on. It was amazingly yummy hot sauce! Yes, you can have it both ways! Pickled and fermented! Yay! I do think the oil on top may have helped prevent air from getting to the rest of the jar. It never spoiled. It's weird, because store bought vinegar hot sauce, or salsa at least, WILL spoil and grow mold and never ferments. What is the difference. Tapatio doesn't spoil.

[@willm5814]

Great explanation - love pickles - now hunting for fermented stuff as well!

[@BobRooney290]

wow, i had no idea there was a difference. great video! gut bacteria, thyroid activity, and metabolic rate are all tied together. keeping that gut biome healthy is the key. i see now how important fermented veggies are. probably the cheapest item at the store is sauerkraut for a dollar or two in those bags.

[@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..

[@Imaddongai]

And who are you again??

[@elainelindsey1306]

This video is probably for European and North American. The rest of the world pickles stuff differently. A lot of countries like south Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, suriname and Trinidad all follow pickling styles from India. The atchaars, kulchas and other pickles can last year's without refrigerator. Most people only started buying fridges from 70s and pickling is a thousands of years old, it's all about using right spice and storing in a dark place

[@Lat1111]

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.

[@jerrypawlak2396]

Been fermenting cabage, cucumbers and many more for years, never have i thaught about putting them in fridge, they are shelf stable, just for a shorter time than pickled

Thank you for such a clean clear and honest description of the differentiations you truly are an angel and we are so happy that you're sharing this planet with us for all of the good and abundance of goodness waiting to be discovered.

[@Navak_]

Wait real pickles are not pickled?

[@Sumrullahcanyakmaz]

As a wise man once said, if you can’t tell the difference, how does it matter?

[@evilroyslade2491]

Brilliant, fermentation vs. pickling was perfect. I'm a fermentation beginner for gut health reasons. No more canned sterile processed foods for me.

[@DedicatedBrainWorm]

Thank you for the video! I just traded a bunch of jalapenos with a coworker and wanted to perserve them. I haven't done this before. Your video got to the point and was clear!

[@ssubramanian605]

Great video. Makes so much sense why we should be eating fermented food. I do make kimchi at home and I am happy to know now why they say kimchi is good for guts!!

[@afgncap]

Where I live we've been fermenting vegetables for ages now and they definitely are shelf stable. Sure they won't last as long as pickled ones but until opened they can be stored for months without refrigeration. Pretty much every family has its own recipe for different kind of vegetables.
