Days to go: 

National Pickle Day aims to honor and appreciate the beloved pickle. National Pickle Day highlights the wide variety of pickled foods that exist, including cucumbers, beets, peppers, and green tomatoes, among others. Traditional pickles are made by soaking cucumbers in a mixture of water, vinegar, salt, and various spices. This allows the vegetables to ferment and develop their distinct flavor.

The history of pickles is intricately woven into human culture. Pickling was developed as a means of preserving food before modern refrigeration techniques. Cleopatra herself was a fan of pickles, believing that their consumption contributed to her beauty and youthfulness. During Christopher Columbus's voyages, he rationed pickles to his sailors to prevent scurvy, highlighting their nutritional value.

On National Pickle Day, pickle lovers from coast to coast share their enthusiasm for this tangy and crunchy treat. National Pickle Day is celebrated annually on November 14th.
