The brine is probiotic and is good for you! Don't throw it away! Use some in salad dressings, as a cocktail flavoring, or even as a little tasty slurp on its own. Our Devourers are always coming up with creative ways to get the most out of the delicious and probiotic brine. In fact, from time to time we offer brine for sale just on its own. Check the store often!
