Despite the trend toward eating fresh foods, Americans are rediscovering the health benefits of traditional pickled foods. Fermented vegetables such as pickles, sauerkraut, and relishes are considered probiotic, meaning they help restore beneficial bacteria to the body, which is of special interest to consumers looking to improve their digestive, cardiovascular, and immune health.

The low-fat, heart friendly characteristics of the Mediterranean cuisine, in which olives and olive products play substantial roles, are making such diets very popular with Americans. Add to this the common notion that pickles, olives, and relishes are “fun-filled” food and marketers have a lot of potential to promote their products as tasty, healthy, and nutritious. Pickles, Olives and Relishes in the U.S., new from Packaged Facts, investigates the trends, marketers and products that are driving this $2.6 billion market - one that has seen ups and downs over the past five years, and could be in for another rough patch through 2010, unless marketers take a more innovate and aggressive approach to reinvigorate their products.
