I love pickles. Always have. Always will. No pregnancy necessary. And, while I often make my own pickles, sometimes, I just need a quick pickle (pun intended).

Sometimes, like when making my dill pickle wings, I need a lot of pickle juice.

Sometimes, when I’m breaking down chickens for bone broth, dinner later in the week, and my quick & easy chicken salad, I need to be able to grab a handful of pickles right then and there to chop up and toss in.

Sometimes, my children demand, err ask, for sandwiches at lunchtime, when I wasn’t planning on making them, and since they all finally agree on something at the same time, I just don’t have the strength to argue. And, of course they need pickles in said sandwiches.

And sometimes, I just want to reach in the fridge and grab a pickle to snack on, without rhyme or reason.

It’s for occasions like these, that I always. And I mean always. Have grillo’s pickles in my refrigerator.

What’s awesome about grillo’s is that its ingredients are almost identical to what I put in my own homemade pickles. No preservatives. No sugars. Just cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, garlic, fresh dill, and salt. Which also makes them the perfect pickle if you are on whole30, keto, or a low carb diet of any sort. Or, if you are looking to eliminate processed foods.

Or?!? If you just want an awesome pickle.
