Whenever I think of pickles, it always brings me back to fond memories of the holiday's at my grandmothers house. Whether it be Thanksgiving, Easter, or a Family Reunion, the one thing I will always remember the most is eating jar after jar of Grandma's homemade pickles until I could not eat another bite.
Why Did I Eat All of Those Pickles?
Because they were so good. As I grew up, Grandma's pickles never failed to bring a smile to my face and a treat to my tastebuds.
So One Day I Decided I Wanted to Make My Own.
Once I was old enough, I made sure Grandma taught me everything about her famous pickling recipes and techniques. She gave me ALL of her pickling secrets and knowledge to create amazing pickles. Since then, I have developed even more great pickling techniques, utilizing the technology of today.
Now My Pickles Are Actually BETTER Than Grandmas.
Now that I often can my own pickles and pickled goods, I love to share them with my friends, family, and co-workers. A lot of them ask me to teach them how I pickle, but I never could give them my complete knowledge... until now.
Now Anyone Can Learn To Make Amazing Pickled Goods!
I finally finished writing The Ultimate Guide to Pickling. After sharing it with my friends and family with amazing responses, I would like to share this guide with you!
Inside, I detail everything I have learned over the years that you will ever need to know about pickling.
"BUT WHY SHOULD I PICKLE WHEN I CAN JUST BUY THEM AT THE STORE"? YOU ASK.
The Answer
YOUR HEALTH!
Whenever you purchase mass produced store bought pickles, you are potentially exposing you and your loved ones to harmful chemicals used on the cucumbers, and throughout the pickling process.
By making your own pickles at home, you will know that the pickles you are eating are chemical FREE. Better yet, if you grow your own vegetables, you will know that they were grown chemical free as well.
Do You Have A Garden?
If you do, pickling your vegetables is also a GREAT way to preserve them for many, many months, and years even. Instead of letting your vegetables spoil, my guide will teach you exactly how to preserve them. The methods are super simple, and as an added side benefit, I can almost guarantee that your kids will LOVE whatever you pickle.
Lets Not Forget The Health Benefits!
Not only are pickles a great AND tasty snack, but they are EXTREMELY healthy for you as well.
- pickles are high in fiber, which is healthy for the digestive track and helps prevent cancer.
- pickles contain antioxidants and depending on the vegetable, are a great source of calcium, magnesium, and iron.
- When pickles are fermented, lactic acid is created which helps to lower fat in the bloodstream, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure.
- It has been found that eating fermented products regularly resulted in lower rates of skin problems, asthma, and auto-immune disorders.
- Vinegar, which is used in the pickling process is known to boost the immune system, ease digestive disorders, and can break down calcium deposits in a person's joints. Vinegar is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
The list of health benefits pickles possess goes on and on, and with this guide, you will avoid the unhealthy chemicals used to grow and produce pickles.
