A continuous method and an apparatus for desalting pickles is provided. The method comprises conveying pickles having a certain salt content along a path spraying water onto the pickles as they are conveyed along the path, wherein the water is provided in an amount sufficient to saturate the pickles and displace a portion of the salt therein collecting water that drains from the saturated pickles and measuring salt content of the collected water to monitor the process and determine when the desalting process is complete.
