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.

Can you keep vegetables fresh by using vinegar?

Yes, you can keep vegetables fresh by using vinegar. Vinegar has antimicrobial properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold on the vegetables, extending their shelf life. To use vinegar for this purpose, you can create a solution of water and vinegar (typically a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar) and soak the vegetables in it for a few minutes before storing them in the refrigerator. It's important to note that some vegetables may absorb the flavor of the vinegar, so it's best to use this method with vegetables that complement the taste of vinegar.
