Both of these are very important to the pickling process which preserves food for a long time without refrigeration or freezing. Pickles are created by putting small cucumbers in a saltwater brine until they are preserved. They are lacto-fermented in the saltwater brine which makes it impossible for harmful bacteria to grow.

Having mold on your food is never a good thing, so why not find ways to prevent that from happening? Before mold can grow food must be at a point where it’s ready to decay, so the best way to get around mold is to buy food and then use it right away. The best way to do this is to plan your meals and buy only the ingredients you’ll need for the next few days or so which means you’ll get to use them all up before the mold can settle in. Another great way to prevent mold from growing on your food is to keep it in your fridge where often temperatures are able to keep food fresher longer.

You can also wash your food in vinegar and soak it for 10 minutes in vinegar and water to prevent mold from growing. We all know the dangers of mold in our home too , o it’s important to keep your home clean to leave no room for mold to appear. This means cleaning up after every meal and not leaving behind any moist or wet spots in your kitchen.
