Salt-stock cucumbers held in storage for months are kept in brine of about

  • A.Thirty to forty per cent salt
  • B.No salt at all, only water
  • C.Ten to fifteen per cent salt
  • D.One to two per cent salt

Answer: C

Once fermentation is complete the brine is strengthened to 10 to 15 per cent so the stock keeps for many months until it is needed. It is then leached back down to roughly 2 per cent before the pickles are finished and packed, since nobody could eat them at storage strength.
