I wouldn’t go so far as to say that pickles are the new “superfood”, but the incredible health benefits that they offer are now being universally recognized. Not only are they a tasty treat, but they are also a significant source of Vitamin A, C, and K, and fibre. In addition, they also have no saturated fat or cholesterol, are an anti-inflammatory, boost immune system function, are full of antioxidants, and help to ensure good gut health.
Pickle juice is also taking the world by storm. Although drinking the juice might sound a bit strange, there are actually some amazing benefits to it, including the fact that it’s great for hydration, helps relieve muscle cramps, can help with weight loss, freshens breath, and is excellent for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Wow, who knew!
