Do Homemade Pickles Have Health Benefits?
Do homemade dill pickles have health benefits? I'm talking about the ones where you make a brine of vinegar, water and salt and pour it over cucumbers, dill and garlic and then put the lid on, wait for it to seal and let them sit for 6 weeks and then eat anytime after that. We make them every year and I was hoping it had some of the benefits of fermenting, but I'm assuming not? Does the vinegar kill everything good in them?

Re: Do Homemade Pickles Have Health Benefits?
If you actually ferment them, yes. I've never seen a ferment call for vinegar though. Why not just do the same without the vinegar, but with brine, dill and garlic? If you need the vinegar use ACV the kind "with mother" because that is fermented.

Lacto-fermented pickles have probiotics in them. They do not usually have vinegar. There are also a few brands of 'real' fermented pickles you can buy at some stores, we love Bubbies!
