They are really good.
The only thing that was a surprise, was just how hot these are. A lot more than the other brand I've had.
Has not stopped me from enjoying them however.
So It would taste Hot and salty if taken directly.Every time I have this pickle in my lunch box, people complement "It smells good".
Yeah This is a Pickle and it has high salt and Chilies powder.
This is to be eaten along with other food viz, rice or different flat breads.
As mentioned in other review a 1 spoon full would go for a 1/2 cup rice or one meal(lunch/dinner).
I love mango pickles like these. Have for years.
Since the store nearby was out, a quick search brought up these as a top choice.
