Water should be taken a little, just to slightly moisten the vegetables.

You will also need any deep dishes that can be tightly closed with a lid: a saucepan or a plastic container for cold foods.

Fermentation is one of the many ways to harvest crops for the winter, berries and fruits, as a result of which, in the process of physico-chemical moments, lactic acid appears, which is a natural preservative. Vegetables are fermented in brine (whole or in pieces), or in personal juice (they are crushed, chopped, chopped), added table salt, under the influence of lactic acid bacteria, a fermentation (fermentation) procedure occurs.

Salt is not considered an important ingredient, although it affects the taste and inhibits the development of pathogenicity. Salt for brine is taken, as a rule, in a volume of five percent of the amount of liquid, and for fermentation in personal juice, as a rule, in a proportion of 1.5-2% of the volume of vegetables. The fermentation time depends on several factors: the temperature and the amount of salt. If there are two refrigerators or a cellar, then you can make large stocks of this vegetable.
