Pickled foods are renowned for their long shelf lives and were common before the invention of refrigeration and other modern preservation methods. Pickled foods are also enjoyed for their unique flavours and texture changes brought about by the fermentation process.
The biggest strength for most pickled foods is that they help maintain digestive health by preventing bloating and helping in absorbing nutrients from other foods, thus strengthening our immune system. Long-term consumption of pickled foods can also curb cravings for sugary and starchy foods to prevent binge eating.
Perhaps it is time to ditch those sugar and salt-rich table sauces and bring in the healthier pickled condiments that are bursting with flavour. Check out our range of pickled foods from Pachranga, Prome, Telugu and Vimal and elevate your dishes with a nutritious flavour explosion today!
Disclaimer: Certain chutneys contain pickled ingredients but are not considered a true pickled food. Rather, they are best described as sweet and tangy sauces or side dishes.
