While a lot of recipes for tangy pickles require some type of vinegar, fermenting can also create that beloved sour taste (with some gut-friendly probiotics as a bonus). To make your own fermented pickles, all you need is a salty brine, some spice and herbs for flavoring, and fresh veggies. After a few days or weeks, you'll be rewarded with crunchy and irresistible pickles that will last for months in the fridge.

Fermenting isn't just for cucumbers! Other veggies, like beets can be equally delicious when fermented. Try it with either red or golden beets, both of which will ferment the same way but come out with varying flavors.
