(HealthNewsDigest.com) -- It’s an increasingly popular novelty snack treat that may sound a bit hard to swallow. But PickleSickles pickle juice treats are growing in popularity nationally and providing unexpected health benefits for kids, adults and seniors alike. PickleSickles are uniquely packaged frozen treats made, not from just the brine left over from pickling, but from freshly squeezed pickles, much like an apple or orange is pressed.

“We use 100% of the pickle,” says PickleSickle
Co-Founder David Millar. “We realize it is hard to imagine that
someone thought of the idea of creating a frozen treat made from
pickle juice,” he says. “But once people try them they are
hooked – and we are happy to supply them with this refreshing
treat.”

The name PickleSickles was created by John Howard owner
of Outerskate roller skating rink and arcade in Seguin, Texas.
He has been freezing pickle juice for the kids and adults and
sells out every night. Surprised by the sales, he decided there
was a market worth investigating. The company is also creating
flavored PickleSickles such as cherry, lemon-lime that have
proven to be very popular.

The company is also catering to the cravings of expectant mothers with this unique sour snack. But it isn’t just to quench the craving, it is to provide the heretofore little-known health benefits of pickle juice for anyone from kids to pregnant women to diabetics.

A recent study revealed that pickles blunted the blood-sugar
spike by as much as 30% after a high-carb meal. Studies revealed
that vinegar, much like that used in the pickling process,
provided a balancing benefit to combat harmful insulin spikes.
The spices used in the pickling process are also healthy.
Pickling ingredients like garlic and dill help to control the
growth of unhealthy bacteria in the body. And many other spices
involved in the pickling have been known to have wide-ranging
health properties as well. PickleSickles have no fat and have
less than 1 gram of sugar.

The company is also branding a line
of PickleSickle characters such as PickleSickle Bob to help
spread the news about this unique new product line and its
healthy attributes to give kids a more nutritious snack
alternative than sugary sweets. PickleSickles come in packages
of 16 and sell for $17.95 including shipping on the internet.
