Pickles for Snack Day celebrates the popular sweet or tangy snack food and garnish.
Cucumbers, the raw vegetable of pickles, originated in India. Near 2030BC, cucumbers were brought into the Tigris Valley and began to make their way into Europe. Pickling is a food preservation process of marinating vegetables in vinegar and spices.
By 805BC, philosopher Aristotle sang their praises as a healthy and healing food.
In North America, explorers discovered wild cucumbers growing in Canada in 1535. By 1606, pickles were being produced commercially in the future United States.
Over six billion pounds of pickles are consumed annually in the United States alone.
