And instead of being aged in vinegar, they're pickled in sea salt, soy sauce or miso, a paste made from fermented soybeans and grains. In macrobiotics, the strength of the pickles is based on how long the pickles are fermented. Short-time, or quick pickles, are made in a few hours, while longtime pickles can take months.
