I use nothing but cabbage and salt. Nature does the rest. Using vinegar to pickle foods doesn't produce bacteria that are good for you. Lacto fermentation is where it's at!

I bought this book for my wife last December, since then we have made our own sauerkraut, pickled beets, greenbeens, okra, jalapenos with carrots and onions, garlic, and of course, cucumbers. All raw and all fermented. We were amazed at how easy it is to pickle and how much tastier it is than anything you can buy in a store. If your not ready to invest in a book. Check out the author's website where he has recipes for sauerkraut and cucumbers. I would recommend starting with the sauerkraut.

I need to make my own.... but I did get some from the store that was really good. I put it on olive oil drizzled german farm bread with (brewer's) yeast and some Bragg's liquid amino. Food that good almost makes me want to be a vegetarian. A woman at our local herb room was telling me about the pro-biotic benefits of raw sauerkraut.

What's the difference in taste compared to your usual store-bought vinegar pickle? I would just come and find out but that Metrolink wreck has given me the willies. Also, I think I need to alert Roger from I-Mockery about this. Mmm, pickles.
