The process of pickling is the process of preserving foods through anaerobic fermentation in brine. Your brine is a solution of salt water. Then the food is stored in an acidic solution, typically vinegar, which results in its sour taste. Pickling foods is a food preservation method that has been around for over 4000 years, it has allowed us to make it through winters and spells of weather where fresh food was not readily available.
