What is this food?
Pickles, mixed (about 100g). It’s usually a mix of vegetables soaked in a brine (often vinegar and salt), giving it a tangy-sour taste.
Why it matters to health
Pickles can add fiber (about 1.6g per 100g) which helps with fullness and regular digestion. They also have very small fat (about 3.1g) and no cholesterol. However, mixed pickles are typically high in sodium (about 732mg per 100g) and also high in sugar (about 29.2g per 100g), which can add up if you eat them often or in large portions. Choosing pickles as a side (not a main) helps you enjoy the flavor while keeping your daily balance for meals and snacks.
Healthier tips
- Use pickles as a side topping (small servings) for meals like rice, ulam, or sandwiches.
- Pair with fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes, whole grains) to support better fullness.
- If you’re watching salt, rinse pickles briefly and drain well before eating.
- Since pickles can be sweet and salty, keep them to occasional servings—especially if you also eat other salty items (instant noodles, processed meats, chips) in the same day.
- For a balanced day: aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, and treat pickles as part of the meal’s flavor, not the main snack.
