Gherkins

Gherkins

Everyday

Gherkins are small, pickled cucumbers known for their crisp texture and tangy flavor enhanced by brining in vinegar or fermented saltwater. These immature cucumbers are typically preserved with spices like dill, garlic, or mustard seeds, creating a more complex flavor profile than standard dill pickles. While low in calories, their sodium content is significant due to preservation methods, though traditionally fermented varieties may offer probiotic benefits.
