“The health benefits of pickles go far beyond taste – they aid digestion, preserve nutrients, and add a burst of flavor to every meal.”
Pickles are one of those foods that never lose their charm. Whether it’s the tang of lemon, the spice of mango, or the crunch of carrot, pickles have been a staple in Indian households for generations. But alongside the love for pickles, there are always a few evergreen questions people search for online.
At Manan Pickles, where we’ve been making authentic pickles since 1981, we’ve gathered answers to the most common queries — along with our unique perspective.
1. Are pickles healthy or unhealthy?
Pickles can be very healthy when prepared traditionally. Fermented pickles aid digestion, improve gut health, and are rich in antioxidants. Indian pickles, made with spices like turmeric, fenugreek, and mustard seeds, are packed with natural goodness.
👉 At Manan Pickles, we use time-tested recipes without artificial preservatives, so you get the health benefits of pickling in its purest form.
2. How long do pickles last?
Properly stored pickles can last from 6 months to over a year. In fact, many pickles taste even better as they age because the flavors deepen over time.
👉 Our customers often tell us that their jar of Mango Pickle or Lemon Pickle becomes more flavorful with time — a natural sign of traditional preparation.
3. Do pickles need refrigeration?
Most Indian pickles don’t require refrigeration if stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight jar. However, if you live in a humid climate or have opened the jar, refrigeration can help extend freshness.
👉 With Manan Pickles, you don’t need to worry — our careful preparation ensures that the pickles stay fresh without losing their authentic taste.
4. Why do pickles turn black or brown?
This often happens due to oxidation, the natural process of spices and oil reacting with air. It usually doesn’t affect taste or safety.
👉 At Manan Pickles, we balance oil, salt, and spices carefully to ensure your pickle keeps its vibrant look and taste for longer.
5. Can pickles be eaten daily?
Yes — in moderation. A spoonful of pickle can enhance your meal and boost digestion. Just keep an eye on salt and oil intake if you’re health-conscious.
👉 Our wide range of pickles — from Stuffed Red Chili Pickle to Garlic Pickle — means you can enjoy variety every day without getting bored.
6. Why are homemade or traditional pickles better than factory-made ones?
Traditional pickles are slow-prepared, sun-cured, and spiced with love — giving them flavor and depth that mass-produced pickles often lack.
👉 Manan Pickles has stayed true to its roots since 1981, blending family recipes, high-quality ingredients, and traditional methods. That’s why our loyal customers swear by the taste across generations.
