About Lebanese cornichons

Lebanese cornichons are small, tangy pickled cucumbers popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. Known for their crisp texture and sharp, zesty flavor, they are typically pickled in a brine made of vinegar, water, salt, and sometimes garlic or spices. These bite-sized pickles are a versatile ingredient, frequently enjoyed as a snack, garnish, or accompaniment to mezze platters. Originating from Lebanese culinary traditions, they add a refreshing acidity that complements rich dishes like grilled meats and hummus. Nutritionally, Lebanese cornichons are low in calories and fat, making them a guilt-free addition to meals. They provide small amounts of vitamins like K and electrolytes such as sodium. However, their sodium content can be high due to the brining process, so those monitoring salt intake should consume them in moderation. Overall, Lebanese cornichons deliver crunch and vibrant flavor while offering a modest nutritional profile perfect for balanced diets.
