A Diabetes-Friendly Mixed Pickle Recipe with Natural Sweeteners

Managing sugar doesn't mean giving up on sweet-and-sour pickle. This recipe uses natural, low-glycemic sweeteners.

Replace sugar or jaggery with powdered stevia extract or erythritol. These don't spike blood sugar. For a whole-food option, a small amount of mashed ripe banana or date paste can work, but use sparingly.

Increase the sour element with extra lime juice or amchur to balance the reduced sweetness. Spices like cinnamon can also enhance the perception of sweetness.

Always consult with a healthcare provider for personal dietary advice. This approach allows for flavor enjoyment without compromise. Diabetics should also carefully check labels if purchasing, making a transparent mixed pickle a valuable resource.
