Gherkins: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers pickled cucumbers, often referred to as gherkins or cornichons. They are typically preserved in vinegar, brine, or a combination of both, and may include added spices and flavourings. When choosing gherkins, it's helpful to check the nutrition label for salt content, as pickling processes often involve significant amounts. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting salt intake. You can also look at the ingredient list for added sugars, which may be present in some varieties, particularly sweet gherkins. The primary ingredient should ideally be cucumbers. While gherkins are a vegetable, their nutritional contribution in terms of fibre or vitamins is generally low due to the pickling process and small serving sizes. They are often used as a condiment or flavour enhancer rather than a significant source of nutrients. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
