According to Ganeriwal, the “live bacteria-rich pickle our daadi/naani (grandmothers) makes is through the process of ‘lacto-fermentation’, a method that is gaining popularity worldwide.”

“The salt, aids in controlling the fermentation process, the oil acts as natural preservative and the methi/jeera/dhania (fenugreek/cumin/coriander seeds) have anti–microbial properties that also enhances the taste,” she had said in an earlier Instagram post.

Besides maintaining the gut health by working on digestion, and improving immunity, homemade pickles help:

Fight obesity and diabetes

Our fast-paced lifestyle is heavy on packaged/processed food which upsets the balance of our gut microbiota. New researches link the changes in our “gut flora mix” with an increase in obesity and diabetes. “The ‘live’ bacteria in homemade achaar helps restore the diversity and strength of the gut microbiota, accelerates fat burning, and increases insulin sensitivity,” she said.
