Cucumbers, water, garlic, sea salt, dill, spices. No sugar, vinegar or preservatives.

And no yellow dye number 5. "Gold Medal" "Best pickle in America." Well I don't know about that but they're sure the best pickles I can buy at the neighbourhood organic food store. I suspect that manufacturers have to add yellow dye when the additives they use discolours the cucumbers. They adulterate the food so people can't tell by looking at it how much it's already been adulterated. If eating good kosher dills without yellow dye makes me a puritan, so be it.

I've never seen an advertisement for BUBBIES. I picked up my first jar after reading the label. I buy two jars at a time to make sure I don't run out.
