Bottled and jarred packaged goods are often considered to be healthier than their counterparts because they are not processed as much, but there are some exceptions such as ketchup, which is pasteurized.

Bottled and jarred packaged goods can be both raw or cooked. Raw means that the food was not heated at all, while cooked means that it was heated for a certain amount of time.

The most common type of bottled and jarred packaged good is pickles. Pickles are cucumbers that have been soaked in a vinegar or brine solution for a few weeks until they become sour to taste. They can also be made with other vegetables such as cauliflower, green beans, carrots, cabbage, onions and garlic.
