Piccalilli is a condiment made from chopped vegetables pickled in a mustard and vinegar sauce. The data describe samples of mild, saucy and sweet varieties. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 18g per 100g, including 15g of sugars. It also contains 0.5g of fat and 1.9g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate supplies energy for the body. The sugar and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake, particularly when piccalilli is eaten alongside other salty foods. Eating too much salt can contribute to raised blood pressure. Recipes vary between products, so labels can help when comparing them. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
