Brine pickling boosts vitamins into forms that are easily absorbed by the body, as well as creating additional vitamins.  Minerals also become more absorbable  and you get additional minerals from the sea salt and the plants used.  Enzymes which help pre-digest foods while you eat are also created with pickling.  Beneficial microcultures, known as probiotics, are created which aid in our immune system function.

In technical terms, brine pickling uses beneficial bacteria to bring down the pH to a level where the organisms which cause food spoilage cannot survive. Salt binds to the water creating an environment where there is none of the needed moisture available to the spoilage organisms.  The beneficial bacteria are able to flourish and once the pH gets to below 4.7 the spoilage organisms will die.  The process takes approximately four days.  Once completed you can open and close the jar as often as you would like and there will be no spoilage.Some of the recipes you can create with the Perfect Pickler are condiments such as salsa, chutney or catsup, sauerkraut, slaws and others. Do you have any special recipes using the Perfect Pickler?  Please share them with everyone if you would like! - http://www.mainesealiving.com/
