Pickle juice is typically seen as an annoying afterthought, and most people waste no time in pouring it down the drain.

However, what you may not know is that pickle juice can actually be useful in numerous ways.

That’s why we’ve compiled eight ways that you can use pickle juice instead of putting it to waste!

Make more pickles!

All you have to do is put sliced cucumbers or other vegetables in the pickle juice and leave them in a jar in the back of your fridge for a few days.

Once you take it out a few days later, you’ll have a fresh batch of pickles!

Treat an upset stomach

Vinegar, a fermented food that is a great remedy for upset stomachs, is a major ingredient in pickle juice.

Next time you have an upset stomach, have a little bit of pickle juice and see if that helps.

Cure a hangover

Pickle juice can help to replace electrolytes and other fluids that are lost from a night of drinking.

If you also drink water along with the pickle juice, you’ll feel better in no time!

Add it to a drink recipe

Pickle juice is always good to liven up a cocktail. It’s so popular that pickle-infused vodka is even being sold in stores!

Reduce heartburn

A spoonful of pickle juice is known to help ease the effects of heartburn.

Kill weeds in your garden

The acidity in the vinegar of pickle juice is high enough that it can kill most weeds.

On top of that, it can help flowers like azaleas and rhododendrons, which require highly acidic soil, to grow.

Treat a sunburn

Pickle juice will bring instant relief along with a cooling sensation when applied to a sun burn.

Try it yourself next time you get too much sun!
