Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while?
Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 11 months agoif you are discussing short-term survive-ability, while waiting for rescue, then eating pickles is better than nothing. They will provide water, vitamins, electrolytes, etc. If you are discussing living of a pickles as a lifestyle, or prolonged diet option, then it isn’t enough.

It would do the opposite of providing water, it would almost immediately decrease the amount of water available to your body.

The pickles themselves shouldn't be a net negative for hydration, but drinking the juice would be.

No way, pickles alone are super salty, it'll definitely be dehydrating

So dry them thoroughly before eating?
And then you DIY distill the pickle juice to get as much water and as little acid as possible
