When it comes to pickles, cucumbers don\u2019t always have to be your main squeeze. You can make almost any veggie into that juicy, crunchy bite you crave. And the best part is you can easily make the vinegar-set snack<\/a> right at home. In fact, long before it was a trend, pickling was common practice for stopping foods (and not just cucumbers) from spoiling.<\/p>\n

To start the pickling process, just toss any produce \u2014 we\u2019re talking leftover celery, a half-eaten bag of carrots<\/a> or whatever you have on hand \u2014 into a brine (aka salt and water). Let it sit overnight and it creates that crunchiness you know and love. In some cases, the food also ferments, meaning good bacteria forms. That\u2019s the same process that occurs in buzzy foods like kombucha<\/a> and kimchi, which offer a whole slew of health benefits, from providing probiotics and healthy enzymes to improving digestion<\/a> and increasing energy.<\/p>\n

So pick your favorite produce, stock up on some apple cider vinegar<\/a> and pop open a mason jar to store your healthy snack, made right at home. Just follow these six recipes for tasty, crunchy combos.<\/p>\n
