Introduction

To the untrained eye, a jar of pickle may just be a side condiment. But in India, achar is a story — of family, spices and seasons. For decades, Devras has carried forward this tradition from Panipat, taking Indian pickles to dining tables across the globe.

A Cultural Staple Throughout History

The roots of Indian pickles go back centuries — ancient Sanskrit texts describe the preservation of fruits and vegetables in salt, oil, and spices. This was more than just food storage; it was a way to carry flavors through seasons and bond families through meals.

Regional Varieties & Flavor Profiles

  • North India: Mustard oil-based pickles with a tangy-spicy profile — mango, chilli, lemon.

  • South India: Tamarind and sesame oil pickles, often hotter and tangier.

Devras stands proudly in this tradition, offering authentic Panipat-style recipes with unmatched consistency.

Why Pickles Endure: Health, Preservation & Memory

Pickles endure because they’re practical and emotional:

  • Preservation: Extends shelf life naturally without synthetic additives.

  • Digestive Benefits: Spices like fenugreek and mustard aid digestion.

  • Emotional Connect: Reminds people of home, festivals, and family meals.

How Devras Keeps Cultural Richness in Every Jar

Devras maintains its heritage by:

  • Sourcing ingredients from trusted Indian farms

  • Following family recipes from 1938

  • Curing under natural sunlight

  • Maintaining purity with no compromise on quality

International Appreciation of Indian Pickles

Today, Indian pickles are celebrated in over 54 countries — from Canada , UK to gourmet restaurants in the UAE and USA. India is the third-largest exporter of pickles globally (Swayampaak, Mishticue).

Devras has been part of this growth, ensuring jars reach customers fresh, authentic, and export-ready.
