Pickle Facts
- We consume 5,200,000 pounds of pickles each year in the United States.
- Pickles are a great snack, low in calories and a good source of vitamin K, but high in sodium.
- When served on a stick at festivals, fairs or carnivals, pickles are sometimes known as “stick pickles”.
- A rising trend in the United States is deep-fried pickles which have a breading or batter surrounding the pickle spear or slice. (Zaxby’s has good Deep Fried Pickles!)

My favorite kind of pickles are Dill Pickles!
I do not like sweet pickles or bread and butter pickles.
My Favorite Dill Pickle is made by Vlasic. Oh I enjoy dill pickle juice (dill pickle brine). Nathan’s and Claussen’s brand bring in might favorites as well.
I also love fried pickle chips.
Pickles are great as a snack, on a sandwich or burger and even fried!
