Who doesn’t love tangy pickle to go with curd rice? Or a pulpy, flavourful fruit spread on your slice of bread to kickstart the day on a sweet note? We surely do. Helping us out here is Pickleberry, a brand started by pickle lovers Pavan, Reshna and Marshall that makes our pickled dreams come true. Its food preserving culture of bottling up cooking traditions from around the world had us completely hooked. Pickleberry sells completely natural products from homemade recipes that have been sourced from far flung corners of India.
The Pineapple Mango pickle with its sweet and sour finish is a crowd puller. Derived from a traditional Kochi recipe, the spices render themselves to the fruity mix to give an overall mild spice to the pickle. The Dates and Lime Pickle follows a similar flavour path along with an additional tartness from the lemon rinds. If you want the pickles to be a meaty affair, try out Pickleberry’s salty and spicy Tuna Pickle with chunks of sun-dried Tuna. Pickleberry’s natural fruit blends are a homerun as well. Their Passion Fruit and Fig preserve lends a grainy mouthfeel from the figs and a sweet jelly-like texture from the passion fruit. The sour and spicy Batoko Plum and Kanthari Sweet Pickle with bird-eye chillies is another house favourite. For those of you who can't do without the spice, try the brand's Lal Mirch Achar (red chilli pickle) that can add spice to your meal and to your life.
Pickleberry’s products come in 200g to 500g variants and prices range around INR 350 - INR 400. Place your orders through their Instagram/Facebook handle or their website. Delivery is pan-India.
