Pickles are vital to Indian cuisine. They serve as both a compliment to the flavors and textures of the main course as well as a tasty digestive aid. In India, pickles are called “achaar” – they’re an ancient favorite, dating back about 4,000 years! In fact, it’s highly likely that the procedures and methods of pickling actually originated in India. After all, it’s an ideal way of preserving food for long journeys, cold winters in the North, and times of scarcity and famine.
There are countless varieties of pickles in India. Each, in its own way serves to enhance the tastes and textures of a main course, a snack, an appetizer or a dessert, while at the same time encouraging good digestion. Each pickle can be made with an assortment of fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy products, herbs and spices, reflecting the 6 tastes as described by Ayurveda, India’s ancient healing system. The six tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, astringent and salty.
But of all of the pickles in India, it’s the Aam Ka Achaar – the Indian Mango Pickle – that takes the pickle-cake (so to speak)! By far, it’s the most popular and most beloved pickle of all. At Pure Indian foods, we make our Aam Ka Achaar from luscious green mangoes, aromatic, health-promoting Indian spices like turmeric, ginger, hing and black seed, and extra virgin olive oil, all certified organic and all slowly marinated to create a mouth-watering, blissfully delicious treat.
