Ingredients Needed in our Keto Fried Pickles

Eggs or Egg Whites.

Tips on buying eggs.

When buying eggs, be sure to open the container to make sure all the eggs are intact. Check the date on the label to make sure the eggs are not expired.

As long as eggs are refrigerated, they will last four to five weeks beyond the packed date.

Folks argue about this all the time. Pickles are made from cucumbers making them a vegetable BUT pickles are made from the fruit of the cucumber plant. My thoughts? I classify pickles as a vegetable.

Can Pickles Go Bad?

Pickles have an impressive lifespan. Pickles can last for 2 years UNOPENED if stored in the refrigerator or pantry. Once the pickle jar is open, store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. The main reason pickles go bad is because we reach for a pickle with our icky fingers. Go and grab a fork or tongs and get pickles out that jar correctly!

Yes. Pickles are made with cucumbers and vinegar. HOWEVER, it is important to review the ingredient label on your pickles to make sure they are gluten free.
