About Sandwich gherkin

Sandwich gherkins are small pickled cucumbers commonly used as a condiment or ingredient in sandwiches, salads, and burgers. Originating from preservation techniques popularized in Eastern and Central Europe, these tangy pickles are now widely enjoyed across many cuisines. Typically, they are made by brining cucumbers with a mixture of vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and spices like dill, mustard seed, and garlic. Low in calories and fat-free, gherkins offer a crisp texture and refreshing flavor, while also providing small amounts of vitamins like vitamin K. However, they can be high in sodium due to the pickling process, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring their salt intake. Perfect for adding zest to meals, they are a versatile topping appreciated for their unique balance of sour and savory notes.
