About Aachar

Aachar, commonly known as Indian pickle, is a flavorful condiment integral to South Asian cuisine. Made by fermenting fruits or vegetables like mangoes, lemons, or chili peppers in oil, salt, and a blend of aromatic spices such as mustard seeds, fenugreek, turmeric, and red chili powder, it delivers a tangy, spicy burst of flavor. Originating from India, Aachar complements meals with its rich, spicy profile. Nutritionally, it offers benefits from antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties found in ingredients like turmeric and mustard seeds. However, due to its high salt content and oil-based preparation, it should be consumed in moderation as excessive intake may contribute to high sodium levels or calorie surplus. Homemade varieties, crafted with less oil and salt, can be a healthier alternative while still preserving the vibrant taste of this traditional favorite.
