Are pickles harmful

Answer 1

That is a question that is entirely dependent on personal preference. The "pickling" process usually refers to a combination of herbs and spices combined with an acidic liquid, usually vinegar, that preserves the food. Most "pickles" are vegetables but many meats, like eggs, fish or sausage, can be pickled, as well. However, when Americans refer to "pickles" they are usually referring to pickled cucumbers. There are many types of pickles. Bread & Butter pickles will be sweet and sour. Regular pickles are just sour with lots of dill. Kosher pickles have garlic mixed in with the dill and some coriander (cilantro seeds). Some pickling spices also include different types of spicy peppers (black, white, red) as well. Personally, I prefer kosher dills over traditional, when I'm eating them by themselves. However, I like dill pickles on Sandwiches and burgers for the added sour depth. Bread & Butter pickles can add a lot of flavor to a salad, like macaroni or potato.

Answer 2

It depends on what you consider "nasty". If you think slightly tangy, bitter, yet sweet "nasty", then yes, pickles are nasty. If not, then pickles are not nasty. It's your call. Besides the taste, pickles do provide Vitamin A, iron, and potassium. Again, if healthy means "nasty", then pickles are nasty. If you think healthy is good, then pickles are good.

Answer 3

No, they are not good for you. Cause they have a lot of sodium in them.
