Study Notes
All About Pickled Cucumbers
- Pickled cucumbers are cucumbers that have been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solution and left to ferment for some time.
- Pickled cucumbers are often part of mixed pickles and are highly popular in the United States and a delicacy in northern and eastern Europe.
- There are different types of pickled cucumbers, including brined pickles, bread-and-butter pickles, gherkins, kosher dill, Hungarian pickles, Polish and German-style pickled cucumbers, lime pickles, and Kool-Aid pickles.
- Brined pickles are prepared using the traditional process of natural fermentation in brine, making them grow sour, and do not need vinegar in the brine.
- Bread-and-butter pickles are a marinated variety of pickled cucumber in a solution of vinegar, sugar, and spices.
- Gherkins, or baby pickles, are small cucumbers typically used for pickling and are often tart French pickles called cornichons.
- Kosher dill pickles are not necessarily kosher but made in the traditional manner of Jewish New York City pickle makers, with a generous addition of garlic and dill to natural salt brine.
- Hungarian pickles, called kovászos uborka, are made without vinegar by placing cucumbers in a glass vessel along with spices, water, and salt, and left to sit in the sun for a few days so the yeast in the bread can help cause a fermentation process.
- Polish and German-style pickled cucumbers are sour, similar to kosher dill, but seasoned differently and traditionally preserved in wooden barrels.
- Lime pickles are soaked in pickling lime rather than in a salt brine to enhance texture and may contain added vinegar, sugar, and pickling spices.
- Pickles are low in calories and contain a moderate amount of vitamin K, but most sour pickled cucumbers are high in sodium.
- Pickles are often used as a side dish accompanying meals, as a condiment on sandwiches or hot dogs, or in various dishes such as rassolnik, potato salad, or chicken salad.
- The term "pickle" is derived from the Dutch word pekel, meaning brine, and in the UK, "pickle" generally refers to a style of sweet, vinegary chutneys, while "gherkin" refers to a pickled cucumber.
