Re: Good or bad about achar.

i think fermented food is good for ur health

cuz nutritional value of sum fruits and veggies increase when they r fermented so its good

and also the spices used in desi pickles r good becuase they help the food to digest easily and properly

but i think oil in desi pickles is a killer shud avoid it

just avoid the oil and take the veggies or fruits in it its good :)

why the things which tastes more nice are more likely to get u fat

Re: Good or bad about achar.

I think consuming achaar in moderation should be fine. Yes it has high sodium and too much oil, but some of the spices used like TLK said, are actually benefical. A little bit is just fine!
