Moreover, innovations in packaging—like vacuum-sealed glass jars and environmentally friendly materials—have improved shelf life, flavour retention, and overall consumer appeal. These technological advancements not only facilitate larger production scales but also help reduce spoilage and logistics costs, making a strong argument for investing in pickle technology. - Innovating for Wellness: Health-Centric Design Trends in Consumer Products
