Pickles
It is a little-known fact that most pickles are actually cucumbers and that the word “pickle” actually refers to the process of pickling a food- or preserving it using fermentation. You see, healthy cucumbers are placed in a jar of either brine (highly concentrated saltwater) or vinegar (which contains acetic acid and other chemicals for flavoring). These “pickles” often sit in those solutions for months, sucking up the saltiness that makes them taste so good. But it’s also enough salt to cause some major damage inside your body. It’s much healthier to eat the pickles unpickled.
