Strange use of cucumber water in Bavaria: alternative to road salt
In Dingolfing in Bavaria,
cucumber water is
even being used in a pilot project as a road
salt
substitute
to make the roads safer in winter, as reported by "br.de".
A cooperation with the
company Develey
makes this measure possible.
The
brine
is used here
, in which the cucumbers were pickled for about two months during production.
Previously, the cucumber water was still elaborately clarified and disposed of, now it clears the paths of snow and ice.
After
cucumber
it therefore does not smell on the streets, because the salt water is cleaned beforehand, the
salt content
also doubled.
An environmentally friendly alternative which, according to the project operator, has proven itself.
