Roundy's Whole Baby Dill Pickles
What it is
These are small, whole dill pickles, often referred to as baby dills. They are preserved in a brine, typically made with vinegar, water, salt, and dill. The pickling process gives them their characteristic tangy and salty flavor. They are usually sold whole, meaning they have not been sliced or cut. This allows for a satisfying crunch and a full pickle experience. The size makes them ideal for snacking or as a side dish.
How people cook with it
Whole baby dill pickles are a versatile addition to many meals and snacks. They offer a bright, acidic counterpoint to richer flavors.
- Serve alongside sandwiches

- Chop for relishes
To enjoy, simply remove a pickle from its brine. You can eat it whole as a refreshing snack. They are commonly served as a side with sandwiches, burgers, or deli meats, providing a crisp texture and tangy flavor. For a more involved use, you can finely chop them to create a quick relish or add them to potato salads for an extra layer of zest. Their compact size also makes them suitable for spearing onto cocktail picks for appetizers.
How it differs from similar foods
Whole baby dills differ from sliced pickles in their texture and presentation. Being whole, they offer a more substantial crunch. Compared to larger dill pickles, their smaller size makes them more convenient for snacking and serving whole without cutting. They retain the classic dill pickle flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
After opening the jar, it is important to keep the pickles submerged in their brine. Store the opened jar in the refrigerator. This helps maintain their crispness and prevents spoilage. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses to preserve freshness and flavor.
