Cabbage is a very popular vegetable in the middle lane. In the head of cabbage contains valuable fiber, many vitamins and macronutrients. In addition, any dish with the addition of cabbage becomes not only healthier, but also tastier. That is why good housewives try to stock cabbage for the winter and as much as possible.

So, pickled cabbage is the most simple and necessary preparation. In this article we will look at how to cook this vegetable by itself, as well as with beetroot and bell pepper, so that it becomes crispy, appetizing, with a mild flavor and pleasant sourness.

Features of such a blank

Marinating cabbage is the best way to store this vegetable.. The fact is that when it is boiled, the amount of folic acid is almost halved. And marinating allows not only to preserve, but also to increase the vitamins contained inside, due to lactic fermentation.

Many generations of housewives adjusted the proportions for perfect marinating - 200 g of salt per 10 kg of cabbage and 300 g of carrots. After marinating, this delicacy should be stored at a temperature of 0 to 5 degrees in the refrigerator. Subject to the recipes and storage conditions, this food will delight you all winter and spring, until the next harvest.

What kind of vegetable to choose?

For marinating is best to choose white cabbage. Best of all, if it is a mid-late or late grade. Distinguishing late vegetable is easy on a dense, “stuffed” head.

Ideal for pickling is the Glory variety. Choose the biggest heads, as any hostess will tell you that there will be several times less waste from one big cabbage than from two small ones.

Benefit and harm

I would like to say that a person receives exclusively benefits from such a dish as pickled cabbage, but this will not be true. The fact is that, like any other dish, it has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages.

• Benefit - Cabbage is a unique vegetable, which, when pickled, acquires more beneficial properties than in its raw form. So, 300 grams of pickled cabbage contain a daily rate of vitamin C, which increase the human immunity.

  Another great feature is the help in cleansing the body, a positive impact on the work of the stomach and liver. Doctors say that the lactic acid contained in the dish eliminates plaque on the joints and is able to overcome many of the dangerous bacteria in the human stomach.

• Harm - this product should be used with caution in people suffering from acute forms of gastritis.

Step by step instructions on how to marinate

Capacity Selection

The best option is wooden tubs.. But in urban environments this type of capacity is not available. Therefore, you should pay attention to the enameled tanks or buckets.

Enamel should not be chipped. Plastic containers are also worthy of attention, but connoisseurs of the dish say that with such a salted vegetable loses its rich taste.

You can also choose glass containers - three- and five-liter jars, which are well suited for storage in the refrigerator. The only exception is aluminum packaging. The fact is that lactic acid contributes to the oxidation of aluminum, which leads to a metallic taste of the dish and unappetizing gray cabbage color.

Selection of ingredients for a 3-liter capacity

A 3 liter can is required:

• one large head of cabbage;
• two or three medium sized carrots;
• litere of water;
• half a cup of sugar;
• 2 tablespoons of salt.

For a smaller volume, the proportions should be reduced according to the recipe. So, per liter of pickled cabbage you need to take:

• a third of the head;
• one carrot;
• two glasses of water;
• three tablespoons of sugar;
• incomplete tablespoon of salt.

Marinade preparation

1. Classic marinade - for 1 liter of water we take a tablespoon of salt and a slide, three tablespoons of sugar and one part tablespoon of 70% vinegar.
2. Spicy marinade - to the classic recipe, add one small hot pepper and three cloves of garlic.
3. Sweet cabbage - In a liter of water, add three tablespoons of sugar, a tablespoon of vinegar, but reduce the salt to two teaspoons without a slide.

   Cabbage with sweet marinade is not stored for a long time. Shelf life does not exceed a few weeks.

4. Crispy cabbage - for the crunch, add a bit of oak bark or horseradish root to the classic marinade recipe. A teaspoon per kilogram of the finished dish will be enough.
5. Quick cooking cabbage - for a glass of water we take half a glass of vinegar, half a glass of sunflower oil, 100 g of sugar, 4 leaves of bay leaf and 8-10 peas of black pepper.
