A pickle is usually a cucumber that has been preserved in a brine solution made of vinegar, water, and salt, often with spices like dill, garlic, or mustard seeds. The process of pickling involves soaking the cucumbers in this brine to ferment and develop a tangy, sour flavor over time.

Pickling isn’t limited to cucumbers; you can pickle a wide range of vegetables, like carrots, onions, and peppers. The process not only preserves food but also creates unique flavors. Pickles are popular as snacks, in sandwiches, and as accompaniments to meals!
