I did’nt have time to go to china town today to get pickled mustard greens. Luckily, my PolyScience chamber vacuum sealer is just the ticket! I bought fresh, local, kale and compressed it in a mix of cane vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and homemade IPA ale-egar… more on vacuum sealers after the jump!

Chamber vacuum sealers are a true game changer- they allow you to create new textures by compressing fruits and vegetables, infuse flavors instantly, preserve foods, and create lushious sauces.  quick pickling is probably one of the coolest techniques you can do. It allows you to buy market fresh vegetables — whatever’s in peak season — and have quick pickles the same day for dinner or service!
