As you might have guessed, pickling spice is a spice blend used in mixtures to pickle various foods.

It is a sweet and spicy combination that adds flavor to pickled ingredients, and stands up well to the pickling process, since whole or crushed spices are normally used.

Tropical Sun pickling spices are a blend of spices typically used for pickling and preserving foods, often including ingredients like allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, and mustard seeds, among others.

These spices impart a distinctive, sometimes sweet and peppery flavor to pickled items like cucumbers, onions, and other vegetables.

The ingredients are often whole or in coarse pieces and can be used in pickling brines or vinegar solutions.
