I love pickles. Love them. As a chef<\/a>, I\u2019m particularly drawn to them as an acidic counterpoint to flavors\u2014they can really amp up a dish and give it real \u201cpop.\u201d But maybe their most important contribution for me is the preservation of seasonality and the traditions that are at the heart of my culinary ethos. Growing up in the South, pickles of some sort were always on the dinner table in little glass dishes. And, now, it turns out that these delicious morsels are really good for you. Hot damn.<\/p>\n

Before modern refrigeration, fermentation <\/a>and preservation were essential parts of the American diet. The time-honored techniques provided frugality for rural farmers and the ability to successfully transport foodstuffs long distances to American cities. My grandmother \u201cput up\u201d vegetables from her 2-acre garden all summer long. That was her term. Pickles, preserves, chutneys, and relishes filled her pantry. The truth is, I don\u2019t think that she ever thought about the secondary health benefits of fermentation. But she did live to be 98. And that says a lot.<\/p>\n

Fermentation is Our Future\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For those of you playing at home, \u201cGut Health\u201d is definitely the new black. It seems that the research surrounding the positive effects of eating fermented foods grows exponentially week to week. Kombucha, yogurt, and vinegar-based drinks are all the rage. The symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiome and our human-selves\u2014how the health of one supports the health of the other\u2014is revolutionizing the way people think about food. And how they eat. Traditional foods like miso, sauerkraut, and good-old kosher dill pickles are seen in a completely different, more health-centric light.<\/p>\n

And the best part is that these foods are delicious. It would be another thing altogether if the road to healthy living required a daily dose of boiled beetle larvae. Somehow, we often think that healthy has to be hard. Or, at least, not very tasty. Thankfully, incorporating delectable fermented foods into your diet isn\u2019t difficult. With the internet, you can have everything that you need to ferment your own vegetables in a matter of days. And then all you need is a good farmers\u2019 market or co-op and patience.<\/p>\n

But there is no silver bullet. Instinctually, I feel we all know that. Much of the research continues to point to the sincere importance of continuing to eat a diverse array of seasonal fruits and vegetables\u2014the acclaimed \u201crainbow.\u201d But don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014the importance of fermented foods cannot be overstated. The evidence is pretty staggering. It\u2019s just that Greek yogurt alone doesn\u2019t promise a long, healthy life. Anyway, that would be pretty boring. Am I right? And while you\u2019re thinking, can you pass the kimchi?<\/p>\n
