What days of November are the most favorable for pickling vegetables, read below.
How good to make cabbage harvest on the lunar calendar?
Our ancestors began to work on the harvesting of sauerkraut after October 14 (the feast of the Intercession) in accordance with the lunar phases. This tradition has been studied for years.
Did you know? There is a law in New Jersey that allows cabbage to be traded any day of the week except Sunday.
Research in the field of astrology led to the following conclusions:
- cabbage, "made" for a full moon or in a descending phase is obtained by the mucous, has a soft structure and is characterized by a sour taste;
- Products harvested after a new moon for 5-6 days, does not lose its crispy structure, has excellent taste, and a longer shelf life.
In addition to the moon phase, the sign of the zodiac in which the planet is located in a specific period of time is also taken into account. So, during the passage of the luminary signs related to the water element, the workpiece is not recommended. They acquire a watery structure, lose most of the nutrients, from which the shelf life is drastically reduced.
All this is due to the influence of the cyclical nature of the lunar phases on the liquid. So, while changing the position of the moon, ebb and flow of rivers, seas, oceans and juices in fruits and vegetables occur. Given the influence of the night star on the rhythms of life on Earth, it is possible to significantly improve the performance of cabbage harvesting for the winter.
What kind of cabbage can you make?
For starter culture, it is best to take late varieties - forks are characterized by high density and long shelf life, both fresh and processed. Another advantage of late ripening cabbage hybrids and varieties is the ability to carry out harvesting at any time of the year. If, for example, directly after the Pokrov there is no time for this work, then, referring to the lunar phases, it can be carried out in November, December and even in January - February.
Important! For souring should be taken white-ground varieties - red cabbage in the process of pickling acquires a bitter taste.
When selecting vegetables for sourdough, pay attention to the following points:
- the size and appearance of the head - it should be large, "not loose", with a large number of leaves of uniform color, without damage by pests;
- leaf structure - coarse, dense, crispy;
- taste - sweet, without bitterness and astringency.
Features of harvesting raw materials on the lunar calendar
It is necessary to begin work on salting vegetable crops for 3-6 lunar days in the phase that includes the growth of the Moon, but not the new moon, which lasts one or two days. You should also take into account the sign of the zodiac in which the light is located.
