No one likes them :p
Vinegar is the natural product that preserves pickles. Lime does not preserve pickles it used to be used to provide crispiness. However, the USDA no longer recommends using lime.
No. Publix hires employees as young as 14 in certain situations for limited employment. While it is an advantage to have a diploma, it is not required for employment unless there is a specific reason required by the state. One such instance is when a person is applying for work full time when he/she is under the minimum age for full time employment in their state. In this instance, they must prove that they are no longer under the state requirement for school aged children, i.e. they have graduated from high school.
Lime is supposed to make pickles crisp. However, it does not work very well. The USDA no longer recommends the use of lime in homemade pickles.
I also had trouble finding this in my supermarkets. I found it in Walmart. This stuff is awesome!
The USDA no longer recommends the use of alum in pickles. Proper procedures in preparing and processing the cucumbers will result in crisp pickles. Additionally, you can add a product called Pickle Crisp to your cucumbers to ensure they are crisp and crunchy.
Pickles are made in such a way that they last longer the extremely high amount of salt and oil act as natural preservatives. The only thumb rule to store pickles is to avoid any kind of contact with water or moisture. Storing pickles in a glass or ceramic containers in a dry area would help them to stay from getting spoilt.
Winn Dixie is no longer I believe. I heard they were bought out by Bi-Lo.
Quite recently. In fact, this past decade is when the health food trend has increased the most. It is also when the excercise trend increased the most. Everyone is learning about how to live longer and stay healthier.
Yes, they will stay 'fresher' longer than unpickled food, but eventually the will start to go bad and rot.
As of May 11,2011 they will no longer "stack" coupons. They now only allow one Manufactuer coupon & one store coupon on the the same item. :(
Vinegar is added to a salted pickling solution because the added acid of the vinegar inhibits bacteria from entering the environment. Without bacteria interacting with the pickles & juice, the pickles will stay fresh longer.
