Summer is here, bringing the joy of ice cream season. While chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry remain timeless favorites, innovative flavors are shaking things up. Following Italy's bold Viagra-infused ice cream, U.S.-based Van Holten's—founded in 1898 and renowned for its pickles—is now offering Pickle Ices: frozen treats made with real pickle juice.
Originally a vinegar producer, Van Holten's has mastered single-serve pickles like the famous "Pickle-In-A-Pouch." Their latest innovation? Pickle Ices, which blend tangy pickle flavor with added electrolytes.
Targeted at athletes, these pops leverage pickle juice's proven benefits for hydration during intense workouts and cramp prevention. Enriched with potassium, magnesium, and calcium, Pickle Ices help replenish essential nutrients lost in sweat, as highlighted by Delish. With a vibrant neon yellow-green hue and low-calorie profile, they're as functional as they are eye-catching. Pickle trends are surging—from viral pickle soup recipes to New York’s pickle-centric eateries—making this a timely fusion of health and novelty.
Pickle Ices are currently sold out on Van Holten's Amazon store, but their signature Pickle-In-A-Pouch is available for €9 each, including delivery. Worth a try?
