What it is

Dill pickles are cucumbers that have been pickled in a brine of salt, water, and dill. Other spices like garlic and peppercorns are often added. The pickling process preserves the cucumber and gives it a distinct sour and salty flavor.

Why it's used

Dill pickles are primarily used as a condiment or side dish, adding a tangy flavor and crunchy texture to foods. They are commonly found in sandwiches, burgers, and salads, and are also used to make tartar sauce and other relishes.

Health notes

Dill pickles are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of sodium, and high sodium intake can be a concern for some individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated sodium intake and recommends limiting it for general health. JECFA has evaluated salt and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Dill pickles are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
