About Pickle

A pickle is a food preserved or seasoned in a pickling preparation, commonly involving brine or an acidic liquid. The name covers many vegetables and other foods, as well as differing preparation methods, so it does not identify a single ingredient or recipe.

Pickles are encountered as whole, sliced, or chopped pieces and may be crisp or softer, sour or otherwise seasoned. Their colour, flavour, texture, and ingredients vary with the base food, processing, and formulation.
