Alternative Pickled Goods for a Bloody Mary Garnish

TREND FOR THOUGHT: The Pickle market is witnessing a shift towards the emergence of gourmet, artisanal, and craft-made varieties. Despite the increasing production costs due to inflation, which are somewhat modest compared to other products, there is a growing consumer willingness to embrace novel and more intense flavors. This trend is particularly evident in the rising popularity of pickles made in small batch although there is a race to the shelves at major grocers increasing the likelihood of a price war.
