Man I saved a lot of money last year just by pickling some vegetables in brine and eating them later as snacks.
Its really good to save i wish i had help to know how
IT can make the flavor of some foods a little salty if you use a salt brine, and the texture will definitely be different, but it doesn't change the nutritional value much
are we talking about veggies?
Yeah.  We're talking cucumbers and squash and maybe some ginger.  But I have heard you could pickle meat and eggs too.
