Brining is a very old method of preserving fresh produce
through fermentation. Pickling salt (pure sodium chloride) and water
are mixed to create an anaerobic (without air) environment which encourages
lactic acid fermentation while discouraging bacteria which cause spoilage.
As a side benefit, the brine is perfect for infusing pickles with other
flavors such as dill, spices and garlic.
