Verified buyers
People are eating these straight from the jar.
The chili lime has ruined every other pickle for me. The heat actually builds.
Bought the soy and vinegar for ramen night. Ended up eating half the jar with chopsticks.
We stock a lot of gourmet condiments. These move faster than anything on the shelf.
Sourcing
The produce arrives Tuesday. It is in brine by Wednesday.
Cucumbers come from two family farms in the Central Valley. Chilies and limes are bought at the same market our founder shopped at growing up. Soy sauce is naturally brewed, never hydrolyzed.
Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for a production window. That is the entire trick, and it is why a jar of these does not taste like a jar of anything else.
