Why we picked it
-
This pickle skips oil entirely and lets old-fashioned lacto-fermentation do the preserving, on native-variety lemons.
-
Every ingredient carries a percentage — lemon, misri, rock salt and four spices, nothing else.
-
The lab report comes back clean across microbiology, heavy metals and a 30+ analyte pesticide panel.
-
Oil-free means 0.19 g of fat per 100 g, where a traditional achaar is mostly oil.
What to look for in Pickle?
What to look for in Pickle?
- 01Traditional pickle is preserved by salt, oil and spice. Class II preservatives such as benzoates and sulphites mean the cure is doing less of the work.
- 02Oil should sit above the pickle as a seal. A dry-looking jar spoils faster once opened.
- 03Acetic acid and added colour are the usual shortcuts. Real pickle darkens as it ages rather than staying bright.
- 04Check which oil is named. Cold-pressed mustard or sesame is traditional; unnamed 'edible oil' tells you nothing.
What's inside
