Why is my jar of pickles bereft of juice?

Who drinks pickle juice? What are the benefits of drinking the pickle juice? Is it okay to refill the jar of pickle with white vinegar and water?

I love both eating the pickles and drinking, sometimes I take a bite and a sip at the same time for extra flavor. :melting_face:

Supposedly it can keep you hydrated. Which I guess kinda makes since because the juice has sodium and potassium which are electrolytes.

And you really don’t even have to by the jar for the juice. There’s a company called Mt. Olive that just sells the pickle juice.

Yeah, my mother said alcoholics would drink the pickle juice if they weren’t allowed to drink beer. My mother wouldn’t let my dad drink beer after they were married, so he drank the pickle juice to ween himself off the beer.

Polish people swear by it as a hangover cure (I am of Polish descent so I know about a lot of the customs/culture).

As others have said, this is probably because it rehydrates you and has potassium/electrolytes.

It’s one of those old world home remedies. Very resourceful too since you can eat the pickles, drink the juice and nothing goes to waste!
