Atchara or Pickled Papaya is a kind of food preservation
that uses the vinegar pickling technique. In this food
preservation, vinegar, salt, and sugar are heated and
added to the papaya and vegetables. This technique
creates a high acid environment that kills off microbes
and causes food to change in flavor and texture.
