Pickle Texture: When Softness Signals Spoilage
Crispness is key in good pickles. When pickles lose their firm texture and become mushy or slimy, it’s often a sign of spoilage. Texture changes may occur due to improper storage, old age, or contamination. If the brine is also cloudy or the smell is unpleasant, the pickles are no longer safe to eat. Pickles should snap when bitten, not squish. Want to know more about texture changes and pickle health? Visit SGR 777 Foods.
