Everyone's Amma.
Amma isn't one person's mother. She's the one who cooks for everyone, and won't let you leave her kitchen hungry. That's how we've made every jar for eight years: Andhra recipes our family has handed down for over 150 years, made by hand in small batches, with no preservatives, no artificial colours and never palm oil. More than 25,000 families now eat from Amma's kitchen, and in 2023 our work with millets was mentioned in the Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat.
Made like a mother makes it. For everyone she feeds.

America loves The Pickle Story! Uncle Jaiveer and his staff make fantastic product. We ordered pickle and honey as gifts for our wedding gifts in our wedding in Minnesota, USA. Everyone loved it and raved about it for years. Just returned and ordered another set to fill every gap in my suitcase home. Come here. Leave happy.

We bought pickles from Pickle Story and I never expected this level of authenticity. The taste of Magaya, Lemon pickle, and Bellam Avakaya instantly took me back to my childhood days. It truly feels like homemade with so much love and care. Really appreciate such efforts in keeping our traditional flavors alive.

I tried both “The Pickle Story” Millet Health Mix and Millet Chocolate Health Mix in the porridge form at a family breakfast get together. The response was an unequivocal “WOW” as both the products were so scrumptious that we finished the two packets in one go! You have my family vote.

Got an opportunity to taste the Mango Ginger & Tamarind pickles from “The Pickle Story”… Loved the spicy, tangy and overall flavor of the pickles. Hot rice with ghee and “The Pickle Story” is my choice for the rainy game day evening dinner!

Where are your pickles made?
