Pickling and health benefits

Contrary to what people feel, that they are too spicy and oily, pickling is actually good for health. Picking is a form of fermentation. Fermented foods help your gut immensely. Onion achar or onion pickle is a favourite. They are loaded with probiotics.In the olden days, people altered their diet, according to the weather. This would help avoid use of medicines unlike today. If you are vegan , fermented foods helped you with digestion. This pickle especially as onions and salt help you prevent sunstroke. You also enjoy simple recipes more with a little spoonful of achar.Be it dal  or khichdi or plain curd rice.

Achar ke vichar achche hai!

    अंग्रेजीअ जा गुलाम सिंधी,
    जिनिजी सिंधी बि अंग्रेजीअ में
    अहिड़ा सिंधी,
    अच्छा लटा पर खीसा खाली,
    बैंक बैलेंस न हुजे भली पर
    नवां पर्दा,नओं फर्नीचर हुजे
    अहिड़ा डे॒खाव वारा सिंधी,
    धन्य आही झूलण जा प्यारा
    लखनि में हिकु आहीं तूं सिंधी।
