Did you know today is National Pickle Day? Neither did I. The origins of National Pickle Day trace back to the early 2000s when the Pickle Packers International, a trade group representing pickle manufacturers, began promoting the holiday to bring awareness to the long history, cultural significance, and surprising versatility of pickles. However, pickles themselves have been a part of human history for thousands of years, with origins dating back to ancient Mesopotamia around 2400 BC, when cucumbers were first pickled for preservation. Over time, pickling became a widely used method to preserve vegetables and other foods, with each culture putting its own spin on the process.
