This is just a vent! My favorite food is pickles and they are my go to snack since they are barely any calories. However, they are ridiculously high in sodium! One pickle spear from Jimmy Johns is 579mg of sodium. What a disappointment! Guess i'll go to cucumbers in vinegar as a healthier alternative.

Are there other places you could cut sodium so that you don't have to deny yourself your favorite snack?0

Yea and I can wait and have one later in the day if my sodium levels are lower0

I bought Archer Farms' Sea Salt & Vinegar popcorn seasoning and I sprinkle it on my cucumbers.0
-
There is such a thing as sea salt and vinegar seasoning!? This just made my day! I LOVE salt and vinegar! Thanks!0

Pickles are one of my favorites too! But I love cucumbers just as much. I like to eat them whole, and dip them in fat free Italian dressing.0

Pickles are both my all time favorite and my worst enemy! I could eat a whole jar if given the chance! haha!0

Pickles are 100% my absolute favorite food. Dill pickles specifically. I'm with you on the sodium, but they're so darn yummy.0

Leave pickles in seasoned vinegar for a few days and you have pickles.0

I love pickles too.
On another note, your profile says "watch my color intake." I think you meant "calorie."0 -
I feel your pain. The sodium makes me so bloated so its just as bad to me as eating high fat or sugary foods.0

Pickles make me puke since being pregnant =(
Thought I'd share. I normally love them as well.0 -
I eat them by the jar and ignore the sodium. I could care less about water weight, since it comes and goes, and I'm not going to deny myself a satisfying snack that is so low in cals.0

Make home made pickles! Super easy and you can control the sodium. I add more vinegar to mine and up the garlic and dill.0

OMG...when I first needed BP medication, one of them caused me to teetee a lot too. Talk about CRAVING pickles!!! I was eating about 5 pickles/day when I was on them damn pills. 2 pickle sandwiches and a pickle with almost every meal...no matter what the meal was...haha. Spaghetti??? Yep, needed a pickle with it. Enchiladas??? Yep, needed a pickle with it!0

I eat Claussen kosher pickle spears almost every day! I am never over or even close over sodium so I continue to consume the delicious pickles.0

Pickle salt is the best! Drink the water and enjoy the pickles.0

They do sell reduced sodium pickles, maybe try those for day to day and save the Jimmy Johns for treats.0

A bar near me gives you pickle popcorn... wish I could figure out how to make it! It goes amazingly good with beer...
I've made fresh pickles with vinegar & sea salt.
