I live in germany. Most pickles in a jar have 4-7g sugar / 100g.
They taste great, but considering the weight of a pickle the sugar-content might become significant.
For example, a medium sized jar is 600g (that’s 24-42g of sugar) and can easily be eaten in a day.
​
There are pickles in a jar with 0g of sugar, but unfortunately they taste like wet pants.
So i guess it’s no pickles for me.
​
Question: Do you care about the sugar in your pickles?
Buy the salted pickles they should have less than 1g / 100g
Your taste will get adapted once you quit sugar
At the end it is not about the taste it is about that this strategy is working, that’s what counts! I eat avocado, coconut, cucumber, eggs and fish day in and day out
Lactofermented pickles are extremely easy to make and you can use all kinds of things to flavor them, not just dill but garlic, peppers, various spices. One summer I bought 8 kilos of pickling cucumbers and had so many pickles I had to give them away to neighbors. (Lactofermented also means you have to keep them in the fridge.) And I used no sugar.
