Gherkins

Gherkins are small, crunchy cucumbers that are typically pickled in a brine of vinegar, water, salt, and spices. They are often used as a condiment or garnish, especially in salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards. Gherkins are valued for their tangy flavor and crisp texture, which adds a fresh and savory element to dishes. They are usually harvested when immature, which gives them their petite size and distinctive taste. Commonly found in jarred or fermented forms, gherkins are appreciated worldwide for their versatility and unique flavor profile.
