Can I eat fresh salted vegetables?

I know it is unhealthy to eat pickles, but the pickles I ate yesterday were just made by my friends. They are particularly fresh. Can they be eaten? Is it harmful to eat?

    No matter when the pickles are made, they are unhealthy. Fresh vegetables contain a certain amount of nitrate. During the salting process, it will be reduced to nitrite. After the concentration reaches a peak, the nitrite is gradually used or decomposed by bacteria. The nitrite has certain carcinogenicity. In general, the most nitrite in pickled vegetables occurs between two or three days to ten days after pickling begins. Therefore, it is best to eat pickles after 20 days of pickling.
