The gherkin (French cornichon) is a fruit similar in form and nutritional value to a cucumber. Gherkins and cucumbers belong to the same species (Cucumis sativus), but are different cultivar groups.

They are usually picked when 4 to 8 cm (1 to 3 inch) in length and picked in jars or cans with vinegar (often flavor with herbs, particularly dill; hence, “dill pickle”) or brine to resemble a pickled cucumber. Pickled gherkins are served to accompany other foods, often in sandwiches. They are associated with central European and European Jewish cuisine, but are now found more widely.

Agro-On (Thailand)’s Gherkins are well selected and are produced in vinegar.
