I live alone, and always love to prepare pickles at home, so are all pickles high in nitrite?

    A number of studies have proved that since lactic acid bacteria do not have nitrate reductase, the nitrite content produced by strict pure lactic acid bacteria fermentation is very low. Fresh ginger, fresh pepper, garlic, green onion, onion, perilla and other ingredients added in pickle pickling can help reduce nitrite levels. The nitrite content of pickles that need to be prepared for several months is also very low.
