Matters needing attention in pickling pickles

1. Generally, the temperature of pickles should not exceed 20 degrees above zero, otherwise pickles will rot and deteriorate quickly. In winter, we should keep a certain temperature, generally not lower than minus five degrees Celsius, and it is best to keep it at two to three degrees above zero. If the temperature is too low, pickles will go bad and taste bad if they freeze.

2. Crispy vegetables should be stored in a cool and ventilated place. After vegetables are pickled, except fermented kimchi, the reprocessed kimchi should be opened at the initial stage of pickling. At the same time, it is necessary to put the pickle in a cool and ventilated place to help dissipate the heat generated by pickles, and the pickled pickles should not be exposed to the sun.
