The Mongol armies got as far as Hungary in the thirteenth century, where they introduced salted cabbage to Europe." - William Duffy, Sugar Blues (Get the book.)

"SALTING AND MASSAGE The technique of salting, as indicated in many recipes, helps to soften hard vegetables such as cabbage, kale, or broccoli. Salt causes the vegetables to release moisture as it breaks down the cell walls. Digestion is made easier when these fibers are broken down. Foods that are high in cellulose will wilt slightly, creating a texture similar to cooked food. Green leafy vegetables can be "massaged" by using the hands directly to rub the salt into the greens. This effect is further enhanced by adding a small amount of an acid, such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
