Recipes with Oak Leaves
Oak leaves are used in folk and traditional medicine, and are also used in cooking, mainly for the preservation of cucumbers and other vegetables for the winter. Due to the high content of astringents and tannins, oak leaves give elasticity to pickled or salted cucumbers. As a result of salting or pickling with oak leaves, cucumbers are hard and crunchy.
