Pickled cucumber cornichons are small, tart gherkins, typically measuring 1 to 2 inches in length. Native to French and European cuisines, they are made by preserving immature cucumbers in a brine of vinegar, water, salt, and often spices like mustard seeds, garlic, or dill. Their crisp texture and sharp, tangy flavor make them a popular condiment or accompaniment to dishes such as pâtés, cheeses, or charcuterie boards. Cornichons are low in calories, fat-free, and contain small amounts of vitamins like Vitamin K and potassium. They are a good source of probiotics if they are naturally fermented, which supports gut health. However, their high sodium content from the brining process can be a concern for individuals monitoring salt intake. When enjoyed in moderation, cornichons can provide a flavorful boost to meals without significantly impacting nutrition.
