Gherkin

Gherkins are small cucumbers that are pickled in a mixture of vinegar, salt, and various spices. These tangy and crunchy vegetables are commonly used as a condiment or added to dishes for a burst of flavour.

To make gherkins, cucumbers are harvested while they are still small and tender. They are then pickled in a brine solution that typically includes vinegar, salt, dill, garlic, and sometimes sugar. The pickling process gives gherkins their distinctive sour taste and crisp texture.

Gherkins often appear on food labels as an ingredient in sandwiches, salads, relishes, and pickles. They are known for adding a zesty kick to dishes and are popular in burgers, tartar sauce, and deli platters. Their tangy flavour can balance out the richness of foods like cheese or charcuterie, making them a versatile and tasty addition to various dishes.
