Dill Pickle

We'll take the sharp, vinegary punch of a pickle wherever we can get it.

 Pucker up, pickle lovers: This is going to be your year. Amazon will now deliver a gallon jug of pickle juice to your doorstep-and 7,000 other pickle-flavored wonders. Superfans can savor pickle-flavored cotton candy, almonds and pretzels, dip their pickle-flavored tortilla chips in Grillo's Pickle de Gallo, then pair it all with Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer. Why the pickle frenzy? The surge of fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut has made us crave even more salty-sour food. And there's science behind the phenomenon: Sour flavor releases mood-boosting serotonin. Basically, these recipes should make you happy! -Kelsey Hurwitz
