Fermented vegetables are essential ingredients in many traditional Polish dishes.\u00a0 In the summer, many households ferment cabbages, cucumbers and tomatoes in glass jars or wooden barrels.\u00a0 The Brine-Pickled Cucumbers (Og\u00f3rki Kiszone) are cucumbers preserved in water, salt, garlic, dill and spices.\u00a0 They have a crunchy texture and a sour flavor.\u00a0 We select brine-pickled cucumbers produced in Poland, available in European grocery stores in the USA.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally served as a first course, soups are an integral part of the Polish cuisine.\u00a0 A wide variety of vegetable soups are made with either fresh or fermented vegetables.\u00a0 The richly flavored Cucumber Soup is made with shredded pickled cucumbers, vegetables, sour cream and seasoning.\u00a0 Our Cucumber Soup has a slightly creamy texture and is a burst of sour flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
