Pickled Carrots

Pickled carrots are carrots preserved in a brine of water and salt, often with vinegar added, which gives them a tangy flavour and a crunchy bite. Pickles, known as kabees, are a familiar part of the Lebanese table. Pickled carrots are commonly served alongside mezze, tucked into falafel, shawarma and other sandwiches, or set next to grilled dishes, rice and stews to add a sharp, refreshing contrast. They can also be chopped into salads or eaten on their own as a snack. You can find pickled carrots on the shelf at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and solidarity initiative where customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and refill everyday essentials, helping to cut plastic waste and single-use packaging.
