The nutritional values of pickled vegetables are not very different from the value of the raw veg. Frozen veg are often greater.
Below is the nutritional value of various nutrients for -
Pickles, cucumber, dill or kosher dill (100g) followed by the value for -
Cucumber, with peel, raw. (100g)
Energy kcal . . . . .12 / 15
Protein g . . . . . . . .0.60 / 0.65
Total lipid (fat) g . . 0.14 / 0.11
Carbohydrate g . . .2.59 / 3.63
Fiber, total dietary g 1.1 / 0.5
Calcium, Ca . .mg . . 42 / 16
Vitamin C, .. mg . . . 0.8 / 2.8
In some cases there is more in the pickle - fiber for example.
No they can't be considered part of the daily five because this refers to fresh fruit and veg raw or cooked. Also the main reason is you just would not eat enough, pickles are a condiment and only go with a meal they can't make a meal.
As shown above - 100 grams of pickled cucumber would only give you 12 calories, you need about 2500 per day that means you'd need to eat about 50 lb or 20+ kg per day!
Never mind the additives and salt (sodium) in the pickle, not good.

Q: Is a pickle an appropriate "vegetable" for children?
Pickles are cucumbers that have been cured in brine, so technically they are vegetables. But, nutritionally speaking, there are better choices, say CNRC nutritionists.
Pickles and cucumbers consist mainly of water with just a small amount of calcium, a trace of iron, a few calories and no protein. Because they offer little nutritional value, they are not considered a "vegetable choice" in the School Lunch Program.
Although pickles are nutritional lightweights, they make a fun, tasty, fat-free, low-calorie condiment or snack. But, do keep in mind that one large dill pickle provides over 1700 milligrams of sodium, or 70 percent of an adult's suggested daily supply.

Enjoy your pickles, but you need to eat fruit and veg as well.

I'm always wondering this question. I love pickles, And really want them to be healthy. However I do know you have to use unrefined salt when required, otherwise you will never have a healthy pickle. Raked natural salt is best , Sea salt is ok.

Not sure but onions, gerkins and beetroot are good for you and do count towards your 5 a day and also contain antoxidants a cancer fighting properties. Actual pickle has things like coliflower.

I really like both fruits and fruit and vegetables better, however they look and taste. You desire a little of both.

Nutritional Value Of Pickled Vegetables

In the event it's a fruit they have seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.
