WHO MAKES YOUR PICKLE?
Pickles made by rural Indian women FarmDidi pickles are handmade by women in rural India, the didis the brand is named after, using recipes they grew up with. Pickles are vegetables or fruits preserved in oil, salt and spices. In most Indian homes the women of the family made them, and the recipes passed from mother to daughter. FarmDidi turns that skill into income: the didis make pickles in small batches and FarmDidi takes them to customers across India. As FarmDidi states Didis it has worked with

FROM VILLAGE TO JAR
How a FarmDidi pickle is made Take FarmDidi's mango pickle: it is made by a women's self-help group in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra. 1.
Raw village mangoes are washed and chopped evenly by hand by the didis.
2. Spices go in: mustard, fennel, fenugreek, red chilli,
turmeric and neem leaves. 3. Sunflower oil is heated and mixed in. 4. Sun-dried in barnis, traditional ceramic jars, so the
flavours blend. 5. No chemical preservatives: salt, oil, spices and sun
do the work. The result is FarmDidi's homemade mango pickle (aam ka achar), rated 4.7 from over 1,800 reviews and best before 12 months from packaging.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Training and food safety FarmDidi says it trains the didis in hygiene, food safety, packaging and scaling traditional recipes, and supplies ingredients and business know-how. That lets home recipes be made consistently, batch after batch. WHY IT MATTERS Every jar carries a family recipe and supports the woman who made it. Read more: how pickles empower rural women.
