Why are pickled cucumbers better than fresh ones?

During the pickling period, cucumbers become saturated with probiotics.

As a result, vegetables become much more beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract.

Thus, salted cucumbers, oddly enough, can be called more useful than fresh ones.

However, the latter are inferior to the former only in terms of probiotic content.

All other useful properties are the same. Thus, fresh cucumbers are a good source of vitamin K, beta-carotene and fiber.

Thus, completely giving up fresh cucumbers in favor of salted ones is not entirely the right thing to do.

Eat fresh fruits if possible: this way you will bring great benefits to your body.
