The term brining, applied to cucumbers, means

  • A.Drying them slowly in a current of warm air
  • B.Immersing them in salt solution to ferment
  • C.Cooking them briefly in boiling water
  • D.Coating them in dry sugar before storage

Answer: B

Correct answer: Immersing them in salt solution to ferment

Brining puts the cucumbers into salt solution, where the salt draws out their juice, suppresses competing organisms and permits the lactic acid bacteria to work. The word describes the whole fermentation process rather than merely the addition of salt.
