Nina began pickling at home when her mother-in-law stopped doing this annual activity. By then she was already in her 40s hence her pickling remained restricted for the use of extended family and friends. Her signature style and fabulous taste made her famous amongst her regular crew, that began coaxing her to pursue this as a commercial venture. With the support of her family and friends circle, Nina’s Pickles & Preserves came into being two years back. From pickles, she soon moved on to making the popular alcoholic and non-alcoholic preserves. The fact that makes Nina\u2019s Pickles the best homemade pickles in Delhi, is that they\u2019re completely preservative-free, with the exception of oil and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickles are an essential item in almost every household as they add pep and flavour to the blandest of food. Some people have inhibitions about pickles and deem them too oily and unhealthy. Pickles are often blamed for health issues like increased blood pressure, raised cholesterol etc. However, celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar dispels these unfounded notions completely. In her books, she has hailed the many qualities of pickles. \u201cThey contain probiotics, restore electrolytes and treat muscle cramps\u201d, she says. Hence, contrary to popular belief, when eaten in moderation, pickles and preserves help to control blood pressure and solve numerous health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
