Pickled veggies are in a pickle

Filed under: Business, Poultry, Trends, Condiments, America, Health & Medical The sales of pickles and pickled veggies slowed down and held steady the past five years. In the ever increasing food industry this is equivalent to declining sales, which are themselves expected over the next few years. I don't understand this myself since I love pickled vegetables of all kinds. I must have over a dozen different ones in my fridge, and my own homemade ones in the pantry. Some of my favorites are premium and gourmet pickles, southern types with chile's or bourbon in them, or funky Asian ones. I also like weird ones that I can use to garnish my martinis and gin like my trusty Talk O' Texas Crisp Hot Okra Pickles. Mmmmm. Besides the taste, I like the fact that pickles are good for you. I know most people don't equate pickled vegetables with healthy living but they are. All fermented products have pro-biotic health benefits. I hope the big companies do some marketing about the health benefits and pickles become more popular. My reasons are selfish ,but I really want to see more high quality and tasty pickled veggies on the store shelves for me to try. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
