5) For potted plants that are on the way out!

If your indoor plants are looking a little lack-lustre, a little pickle juice could bring them back to life. The secret is the potassium contained in the juice: certain plants (lupins, primroses, etc.) do well in more acidic soil.

On the contrary, garden weeds hate being watered with this juice.

6) Stay hydrated

When you are exercising, it is very important to stay hydrated. In order to do so effectively, why not add a little pickle juice to your water bottle? The salt contained in the juice is great for hydration, because it makes the body retain water in its cells. Remember this tip the next time you are getting ready to hit the gym!

7) An incredible way of looking after copper

This salt and vinegar liquid is made up of sodium and acid. This is exactly what’s needed to clean and treat copper pots, and prevent them from oxidising.

8) This juice is linked to weight loss and recovery after exercise

As well as hydrating you while you exercise, pickle juice can also help your muscles to recover afterwards, thanks to the potassium contained in the juice. Drinking a quarter of a glass after exercise will suffice.

The vinegar it contains also helps it boost the metabolism and reduce appetite, which is why it is great for anyone trying to lose weight.
