    No.  But it is a great way to get probiotics in your diet.

    Just use organic  cukes and use Bragg's Apple cider vinegar with the "mother" and do your thing.  

    I think that would make it work.  Yes, sireee.   Organic and fermented?  Very healthy.

    Mine are sun pickles. Water,(distilled), vinegar and cukes. Our farmers here grow organic. I sterilize the jars in the oven I cube the cukes and put them in the jar. I also add some pickling spice and a small amount of calcium chloride for crispness. I seal the jars and put them in the sun. They self-ferment and I have to open the lids after around four days to let the gases out. Another week and they are done.

    I just do mine in the refrigerator in the garage.  They're at least as good as B'hampte (?) and cheaper.  Just add water, sugar, spices and vinegar and, "Bing" half sour pickles in a half hour.  Half sour, half hour.  Catchy.  Oh, yes, don't forget the pickling cucumbers.
