How does pickling food help to preserve it?

Pickling food helps preserve it by creating an acidic environment, typically through the use of vinegar or fermentation, which inhibits the growth of spoilage-causing bacteria and molds. The process also often involves the addition of salt, which draws out moisture and further creates conditions unfavorable for microbial growth. Additionally, pickling can enhance the flavor and texture of foods, making them more enjoyable to eat while extending their shelf life.
