“…Currently, mainly three fermented vegetable products are produced and consumed in the world—sauerkraut (in South Korea, Chinese cabbage is fermented to obtain a more spicy version called kimchi), pickles (fermented cucumbers), and olives (Di Cagno, Filannino, & Gobbetti, ; Erten, Boyacı‐Gündüz, Ağırman, & Cabaroglu, ; Hutkins, ; Steinkraus, ). In Europe, approximately twenty different vegetable species are fermented, but it must be remembered that there are many acidified or pickled plant products that are simply produced by adding vinegar, salt, and flavoring mixtures to fresh vegetables.…”
