Taste like freakin heaven man.... really though, its hard to describe. I can tell you it wont go bad, and can replace salsa if you like it. It is fermented veggies, usually white cabbage and spices. Buy a jar sometime, you wont be disappointed.... well probably not. It isn't for everyone, but I am glad I found out about it cause I was buying local salsa and it didn't stay good long! Just make sure there is no added vinegar!! Nothing wrong with vinegar, but thats not the right way to make that kinda stuff... like pickles, sauerkraut, etc... you only need salt and water to make that stuff!
