Random pickle facts!

Livestrong.com says...
Pickles stand out as flavorful, low-calorie vegetables and are high in vitamin K.

Shapefit. com says...
Americans consume more than 9 pounds of pickles per person annually – that’s
20 billion pickles throughout the U.S. each year!

AND
America was named after a pickle peddler – Amerigo Vespucci was a ships chandler who outfitted his ships full of vitamin C-rich pickles to prevent scurvy among crew members!

Boy!  It's hot here in Texas and that makes us think about a hot game that kicked off the Dallas Cowboys' 2000 season when the 'Boys played the Philadelphia Phillys... hot... how about 109 degrees?  Several Cowboys dropped out of the game with muscle aches... the Phillys?  Well they stayed in the game and eventually won  41-14... their secret to fight off cramps:  pickle juice!  You can read more about the incredible pickle juice win after Kevin C. Miller a doctoral student at the time wrote a little something on it for his dissertation.

Well, we at in a pickle have known for a long time that pickles are quite incredible!  AND you can discover what a lot of peeps are beginning to learn ... Life's greatest moments start
in a pickle...

Join us this weekend in Dallas at the White Rock Local Market 8am to 1pm AND
Celebration Farmers Market 8am to 12 noon.  You'll find our sweet and spicy pickles and our seasonal jams like Blueberry Lime... Cinnamon Peach... and Fig and Lemon Preserves... YUMMY...  See you guys there!!!
