    The alternative to these pickles are making small batches of pickles at home which would be free of commercial preservatives. They are vegan and can be made gluten-free. To make a gluten-free batch, do not add asafoetida/heeng to it.

If you have some carrots to spare, you will enjoy this nibble. Good thing is unlike mangoes, carrots come in all seasons and colors. Be it orange, purple or red. So lets pickle while it shines hot and bright! 

    Pickling is also a great way of adding fermented food to your gut. This helps you improve your gut by adding good bacteria to it. So what if you did not like kombucha? Pickle will come to your rescue.
