About Achar

Achar, commonly known as Indian pickle, is a flavorful condiment made by preserving vegetables, fruits, or a blend of both in oil, vinegar, and a robust mix of aromatic spices like mustard seeds, turmeric, chili powder, and fenugreek. Originating in South Asian cuisine, achar adds a tangy, spicy punch to meals and is enjoyed in small portions alongside staples like rice, bread, or curries. Nutritionally, achar packs probiotic benefits when naturally fermented, supporting gut health, and contains antioxidants from the spices used. However, its high sodium content from added salt and oil makes it best consumed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring their sodium or fat intake. Variants of achar can range from mango, lime, and ginger to garlic and mixed vegetable, offering a versatile and vibrant addition to any plate.
