Gherkin:
A Gherkin is a variety of cucumber. Gherkins are cooked, eaten raw, or used as pickles. Gherkins are usually picked when 4 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) in length and pickled in jars or cans with vinegar often flavoured with herbs, particularly dill; hence, dill pickle or brine. Sugar is also a popular addition, in which case the label typically shows Sweet Gherkins.
