He explained to “Masrawy” that the adequate daily quantity of pickles is a maximum of two or three pieces at breakfast, to guarantee the health and safety of the pickle, and to do it at home to guarantee its quality.
He noted that other alternatives to the portal are the ideal solution for a special Ramadan Iftar, such as regular salads, potato Ghanouj or yogurt salad with cucumbers or tahini, as long as they do not contain a high percentage of salts.
He noted that the damage caused by pickling can affect the organs of the digestive system by poisoning, and the greatest damage occurs to patients with heart disease, since it increases the speed of attacks and can even lead to stroke and arteriosclerosis. . It causes swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, and hands.
