Kabees el lift (Levantine pink turnip pickle)كبيس اللفت
Kabees el lift is sliced turnip packed in a jar with a few slices of beetroot, covered with warm brine and vinegar, sealed and left to ferment for one week to one month. The beet turns the turnips pink, and the colour fades as the pickle ages. Five Lebanese market brands measured pH 3.1–3.6 and 3.8–5.6 % salt.

Kabees el lift is sliced turnip packed in a jar with a few slices of beetroot, covered with warm brine and vinegar, sealed and left to ferment for one week to one month. The beet turns the turnips pink, and the colour fades as the pickle ages. Five Lebanese market brands measured pH 3.1–3.6 and 3.8–5.6 % salt. Made in 4 steps over 7 days – 30 days. The longest step, ferment until sour and pink, takes 7–30 days (Tlais S 2020). Salt is 3.8–5.6 % (Tlais S 2020). Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc lactic acid bacteria, found in senmaizuke, a related Kyoto turnip pickle made with vinegar (Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc or both predominated in the vinegar-type products); no study of kabees el lift names its microbes does most of the fermenting.
Kabees el lift is coloured by a few slices of beetroot, which only colour it and do not lengthen its life. The home method in the Lebanese study combines brine and vinegar and is left sealed to ferment, while Abood's refrigerator recipe is a vinegar pickle that she sets apart from fermented turnips.
Vinegar refrigerator pickleVinegar, water and salt brine, refrigerated for at least 3 days and up to a couple of months (Abood). Abood calls it a refrigerator pickle and sets it apart from fermenting turnips.
Salt-brine fermented liftTurnips fermented in salt and water with no vinegar, ready in about 5–7 days kept in a dark place (Abood).
Safety
The Lebanese study compared its samples with the Codex Alimentarius limit of pH 4.6 for pickled vegetables and the Lebanese standard (LIBNOR) of no more than 12 % salt; all five brands were below both. Vinegar refrigerator versions must stay in the refrigerator, as they are not canned.
Turnips are available fresh for only a few months a year, and turnip fermentation became one of the oldest solutions for having them all year (Tlais et al. 2020). That study cites about 76 registered pickle factories in Lebanon, and $17 million of the $27 million annual production of Lebanese pickled vegetables coming from exports.
