Turkish pickles, or "turşu," are a tangy, fermented staple of Turkish cuisine, enjoyed as a flavorful accompaniment to meals. Made from a variety of vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, peppers, cabbage, and green beans, these pickles are traditionally preserved in a mixture of water, salt, and vinegar, sometimes with garlic or spices for added flavor. Known for their bright, zesty taste, Turkish pickles are widely consumed throughout Turkey and valued for their probiotic benefits, which support gut health and digestion. Rich in vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals, they are a low-calorie snack. However, their high salt content can be a concern for individuals monitoring sodium intake. Best enjoyed in moderation, Turkish pickles are a unique, healthful addition to the Mediterranean diet.
