Cucumbers 2 Ways : Pickled & Fermented

Cucumbers 2 Ways : Pickled & Fermented

Pickled cucumbers are one of the easiest and tastiest ways to preserve fresh cucumbers and add a zingy boost to your meals. In this recipe, we give you two options: a Quick Pickled version that’s ready in just a couple of hours, and a more traditional Fermented version using natural lacto-fermentation that takes 5–7 days but brings deeper flavour and gut-loving probiotics. Both methods are simple, low-effort, and allow for lots of creativity with spices and herbs. Great as a snack, sandwich topping, or zingy side dish!
