Nutritional Content

The main nutrient in pickle juice is sodium, which provides between 50 and 115 percent of RDI in a 3.5-ounce serving. Potassium and magnesium each provide 3 percent of the RDI, and calcium is between 1 and 5 percent.1‘Drinking Pickle Juice: Nutrition, Benefits, and Side Effects.’ Medical News Today, MediLexicon International, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318618#nutrition

There are also around 0.4 grams of carbohydrates in a 3.5-ounce serving of pickle juice, good for low-carb diets. Most commercial varieties of pickle juice are pasteurized and contain vinegar. Unpasteurized types may also contain significant amounts of probiotic bacteria.2Milanowski, Ann. ‘6 Health Benefits of Drinking Pickle Juice.’ Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, 4 Jan. 2021, health.clevelandclinic.org/6-health-benefits-of-drinking-pickle-juice/
