Achaar, also known as Indian pickles, is a tangy, spicy condiment originating from South Asia. Traditionally made by fermenting fruits or vegetables such as mangoes, lemons, or green chilies, it combines ingredients like mustard seeds, vinegar, salt, oil, and an array of aromatic spices. Achaar varies in flavor, from fiery and tart to subtly sweet, and is a staple in Indian cuisine, often served as a side to enhance meals. While high in flavor, achaar can be high in sodium and oil, which may need moderation for those watching their salt or fat intake. On the healthier side, achaar often contains mustard seeds and turmeric, which offer anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidants. Its probiotics from fermentation can support gut health, depending on the preparation method. Achaar is a vibrant and versatile addition to dishes, offering bold flavors while balancing mindful consumption.
