Pickles can be made using a variety of methods including this simple one, using just vegetables, water and a high-quality salt. They reduce inflammation, increase immunity and aid in digestion and nutrient absorption. Start by finding some high-quality salt and vegetables like radish, carrot, cabbage, cauliflower, etc… Boil 1 quart of clean water and add 2 tbs sea salt. Simmer for 10 minutes. Slice the veggies thinly and pack them into a clean glass jar. When the brine has cooled, pour over the vegetables to the top and cover with cheese cloth and a rubber band (or cover). Check after 5-7 days. If you like the flavor, refrigerate and use. If not, allow to ferment for a few days more and taste again until it tastes according to your liking. The sour taste has a refreshing and energizing effect and improves mental alertness and focus.
