Pickle me Green
Above all things pickled, the olive
BY Amy Atkins
Green: the color of re-birth, freedom, celebration and … pickled items. Pickling is done when a raw food is put in an acid (vinegar) or a citrus juice or soaked in brine solution. Years ago, pickling was used to keep foods from spoiling during long sea voyages. If pickled, beef and pork could be kept for months, and eggs and vegetables would stay, if not delicious, at least edible. However, with the advent of refrigerators, freezers and Seal-a-meals, pickling is no longer used for preservation as often as it is to add tangy flavor (and one we love) to some otherwise bland vegetables.
