Features of pickling cucumbers with oil

Vegetable oil protects vegetables from acid attack, thus increasing the shelf life of the workpieces. It dissolves any spices and spices better, while retaining their special aroma. The saturated fatty acids contained in the product stimulate metabolism and remove “bad” cholesterol from the human body.

The taste of the final product depends not only on compliance with the rules of preparation, but also on the competent choice of the main ingredients:

1. Butter. For use in conservation, only the type obtained by cold pressing is suitable. This information should be indicated on the product label. This oil retains the maximum useful properties and contains a minimum amount of impurities.
2. Cucumbers. For blanks, small vegetables with fine tuberosity and a darker color are suitable. The best option for butter cucumber salad is universal or special pickling varieties. The salad variety will not work, as it has too thick skin.
