Pickled Vegetables

"Vegetables that have been packed into a jar or can with a briny or vinegary solution. Favored by those with a taste for vinegar, they're also often used in cooking and last for a long time."

Pickled vegetables are a food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. They can be produced as soon as Basic Food Preservation has been researched, but require multiple steps to be produced, needing vegetables to first be brined and then pickled for 5 days.

Although the quality of the vegetable is lost, meaning all mood benefits are also lost, they last a long time and are quick and easy to make.

When pickled, Advanced crops tend to lose value, Intermediate crops tends to retain their value and Basic crops tend to increase in value.

Overall, pickling can be invaluable to early colonies. It greatly increases the shelf life of food, removes any penalties or risk for eating it plain and creates no loss of nutrition at the cost of very little work. However, it becomes more or less obsolete with refrigeration.
