• Studies show pickles boost our central nervous system and our mental health in general.
• It is also a great way to give your children the nutrition they require from fruits and vegetables that they may not eat otherwise.
• The fibre content of the fruits and vegetables are also retained if they are pickled. Due to the use of acetic acid in preparing pickles, your hemoglobin level is boosted. But it holds true for pickles that have low salt content.

 The tradition of pickle making goes back thousands of years. The word “pickle” is derived from the Dutch word derived from “pekel” which means saline.  According to some historians, the origin of pickles is in ancient Persia where meat, fruits or pickles were preserved in salt, vinegar, honey or syrup.
