Pickles have been seen everywhere. Not only do they come on the side of sandwiches and burgers, but people can have them as snacks, pizza toppings, flavors of other food items, and now multivitamin gummies. This pickle-flavored product targets people who prioritize caring for their health and participating in sports. Nature Made Vitamins recently announced its partnership with USA Pickleball as the “Official Vitamin of USA Pickleball.” Through their deal, Nature Made debuted pickle-flavored multivitamin gummies.
Nature Made has pickle-flavored gummies now?
Short answer, yes.
Nature Made sold samples of the pickle-flavored gummies from its Nature Made website, but it sold out quickly. But if you or a friend live around Naples, Florida, you might get your hands on the pickle multivitamins. From April 17 to 19, the company will be handing out more samples during the USA Pickleball Championship.
What is pickleball?
Pickleball is a hybrid child of badminton, ping pong, and tennis. The sport has become one of the fastest-growing sports in America for three years. According to a CBS news article, 2.5 million people played pickleball in 2014 and 2015. In comparison, almost 5 million people started playing in 2021. It grew steadily before but during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it accelerated quickly because it’s easy to learn.
According to a Foodbeast article, Nature Made and Pickleball USA has seen rapid growth as “people look for new options to help take control of their wellness and bring more joy to their lives.”
Pickles were a trending food item in 2023, and with pickleball gaining mass popularity, it's only a matter of time before pickle-themed foods come back.
