Pickling cucumbers has been used for thousands of years in order to preserve foods beyond their growing season. But pickling cucumbers also has a lot of good benefits for our body’s health.
Good source of probiotics
Pickling is a form of fermentation. When cucumbers are fermented, healthy bacteria help to break down the hard-to-digest cellulose in foods, as well as some of the natural sugar. These healthy bacteria help to keep fermented food safe and less likely to spoil,. They can also help increase the good bacteria in your gut when eaten.
While this type of cucumbers don’t have a lot of vitamins and minerals themselves, eating a pickle with a meal can raise the probiotic content of any meal you eat.
