About this Recipe

A pickled cucumber (also known as a gherkin in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, and New Zealand) is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solution and left to ferment for a period of time, either by immersing the cucumbers in an acidic solution or through lacto-fermentation. Pickled cucumbers are
frequently included in mixed pickles..

Whats the difference between pickled cucumbers and regular cucumbers?

Pickling cucumbers are smaller in length and diameter than slicing cucumbers. They are bred to have thinner skins and black spines to improve the appearance of the pickled product. Pickling varieties can be eaten fresh, and slicing varieties can be pickled, but the average consumer can tell the difference.

These taste great within a few hours of making. You can serve it as a side salad for grilled chicken or fish. Delicious with roasted veggies and pasta dish as well.

Who invented pickled cucumbers?

Pickles were invented over 4,000 years ago when ancient Mesopotamians began soaking cucumbers in acidic brine to preserve them. Since then, they have become a cultural staple, renowned for their heartiness, health benefits, and delicious taste.
