Dill Pickles

There are many types of prepared pickles in grocery stores. Look for Dill Pickles in refrigerated deli sections or on shelves, often near vinegars, oils or other condiments. Check the labels to ensure that there are no carbs or sugars added. Bread and Butter versions of these pickles can be high in sugar.
