Move over Millennial avocados! Pickles have emerged as the generational green snack of choice for Gen Z, appearing in “girl dinner” spreads, gut health recommendations from wellness influencers, and questionably flavored cocktails. For some, pickles join tinned fish on the shelf of controversial food trends. Others know that sometimes after a rough day, the best self-care comes in the form of crushing a whole jar yourself while binge-watching your favorite comfort show.
Want something salty, spicy, sweet, or sour? There’s a pickle for that. And the art of creating your own pickling recipes is catching on with DIY aficionados who want to try their hand at some home fermentation. Aligning perfectly with the rising homesteading trend and budget-conscious buying practices, preservation, canning, and fermenting are poised to become even more popular in 2025.
