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 pickle brands:
- Vlassic
- Nathan’s
- Claussen’s
My ultimate favorite is The Hearty Garlic by Claussen’s.
I love dill pickle juice (pickle brine). I like all three of those brimes.
There is one brand I do not like, I do not like Mt. Olive. Not sure why, but I don’t.
I also love fried pickle chips.
Pickles are great as a snack, on a sandwich or burger and even fried!
