According to Pickle Packers International, we each consume 106 pickles on average per year-about nine pounds per person-mostly on sandwiches and in salads.rnA pickle refers to any food preserved in vinegar or brine.

In Middle Eastern countries pickles accompany most meals, and include everything from eggplant to carrots, turnips to green beans.
