Fukujinzuke (Japanese Pickles)

Fukujinzuke (Japanese Pickles) is a Japanese relish of finely chopped vegetables (often daikon, eggplant, lotus root and cucumber) pickled in a soy-sugar based brine and commonly served with curry and rice. It is typically used in small amounts as a salty-sweet condiment and contains 4.2g of sodium per 100g, so a little goes a long way. Nutritionally it is low in fat and protein but provides small amounts of fiber and vitamin K; because it’s a pickled, sweetened product it often contributes added sugar and salt rather than essential nutrients, so moderate use or lower-sodium/unsweetened alternatives is recommended.
