Marinating is a way of cooking food with acid. The cheapest and most accessible of them is vinegar. Most housewives canned vegetables with marinades for the winter, thus diversifying the family's diet in the cold season. It is believed that the first vinegar from palm wine appeared in the East as early as 5 millennia BC. In Russia in the old days rye, bread, raspberry were considered traditional. Today we rarely make vinegar on our own, although there is nothing complicated about it. It is much easier and safer to go to the nearest store and buy an inexpensive product.
But preparations for the winter are made annually in every home. And although pickled vegetables are healthier than pickled vegetables, often we simply have no other choice - the latter are easier to cook. And they are stored better, especially in a city apartment, where there is no cellar or basement. Pickled cabbage for the winter has long become a traditional dish for us, delicious and rich in vitamins. Today we will cook it with mushrooms or other vegetables.
