Well, in order for the product to turn out to be tasty and healthy, they not only adhere to a certain salting recipe, but choose favorable days for work.
Many housewives prefer to salt the product to preserve the cabbage for the winter. Indeed, cabbage harvested in this way does not spoil for a long time, while it remains crispy. To obtain this long-lasting product, each housewife has her own recipe and certain subtleties in choosing the time when it is best to start working. Most often, when choosing a day for salting, hostesses adhere to the lunar calendar. In general, you can start pickling cabbage any day, however, for winter storage, it is very important to pickle cabbage in a certain time period, taking into account three factors. If all of them are taken into account, then it will be possible not to worry that the product will deteriorate or be tasteless.
So, firstly, cabbage needs to be salted only on the growing moon, located in the constellations of Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius or Capricorn, secondly, to carry out work on a "man's" day (Monday, Tuesday or Thursday), thirdly - be sure to have time to cope with the task in the period from Pokrov (October 14) to the end of November.
Now for 2017. In the period from mid-October to November 30, the most favorable days for salting cabbage according to the lunar calendar, taking into account all of the above factors, are October 23, 24 and 26, as well as November 3, 20, 21, 23 and 30.
And finally, it is worth noting that a late-ripening variety of cabbage is best suited for salting for the winter, especially flattened dense forks with a pleasant creamy color. The fact is that such heads of cabbage, when salted and pickled, emit the largest amount of juice, as a result, the finished cabbage turns out to be the most crisp and juicy.
