Fermented Curtido

Cultural Context

Originating from El Salvador, curtido is a traditional fermented cabbage slaw often served alongside pupusas. This vibrant side dish is not only a staple in Salvadoran cuisine but also embodies the country's love for pickled and fermented foods. Its tangy flavor and crunchy texture enhance meals, making it a beloved accompaniment in many Latin American households. Today, curtido has gained popularity beyond its borders, with variations appearing in various cuisines worldwide.
