Health Hack #68: Don’t get yourself in a Pickle
Pickles are an easy household favorite but not all pickles are created the same. Usually gherkins are preserved cucumbers with dill and vinegar. However, vinegar creates a “sterilized” pickle that’s really just loaded with salt. Meh!
Look for lacto-fermented pickles and olives! They are easier to digest, and contain pre and probiotics which are excellent for gut health and removing inflammation. Plus they pack antioxidants and vitamins and minerals.
Why eat a boring cucumber when you can enjoy a healthy option!
I found a source online (aka easy ordering!) and tried them. They are so good and passed the 6-year old taste test of my daughter. That has to mean something!
