As always , interesting !
We learned about James Cook's cook on board of his ship, discovering sauerkraut' s benefits against scurvy in 18th C.

Learning this much later:
The Dongui Bogam is a 15th C compilation of medical books collected from all over Asia by envoys from Joseon/Korea . Regarded as the oldest encyclopedie.
One of the books explains these benefits in detail , written in 2th C in Korea.

( There is a jar with homemade kimchi on our balcony 🙂)

That’s a great video but cucumbers don’t shrink much during brining (and pretty much not at all for pickling with vinegar). Instead, smaller varieties or young cucumbers are used. Large cucumbers stay large.
