Dubbed 'Sprout Shpickles,' the newest pickled product from Shpickles is a jar of [fermented Brussels sprouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brine-time). The snack is made of little more than Brussels sprouts, water, and vinegar, meaning that the "[delicious brine flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-the-brine) explodes in your mouth with each bite." Beyond the great taste, the fermented veggies are also bursting with vitamins and minerals, making the sprouts a healthy snack option. Available in packs of three or 12, the Sprout Shpickles are great for those who want to add a more pickled veggies to their snack pantry.
