Do pickles have any nutritional value?

Answer 1

The pickle while only containing 7 calories has no nutritional value

Answer 2

Pickles make a fun, tasty, fat-free, low-calorie condiment or snack. And, because pickles are just cucumbers that have been cured in brine, they are technically a vegetable.

But, because pickles and cucumbers consist mainly of water, they offer little nutritional value. With no protein and just a small amount of calcium and only a trace of iron, pickles are not considered a "vegetable choice" in the School Lunch Program. So, nutritionally speaking, there are better choices that provide the vitamins and minerals necessary for health. And, by the way, one whole dill pickle can provide nearly half an adult's daily suggested supply of sodium.
