Ceres Organics Organic Whole Gherkins 670g are crunchy pickled cucumbers for anyone who enjoys a tangy addition to sandwiches, salads and savoury platters. They are kept whole in a seasoned vinegar pickle, giving you the choice to serve them as they come or cut them to suit a meal. The recipe has no added sugar.
Organic gherkins make up 54% of the jar. White vinegar, sea salt, dill, mustard seed and a mix of onion, coriander, fennel and black pepper give the pickle its savoury character. This is the classic whole gherkin variety, with herbs and spices rather than the chilli flavour of a separate variant. The crisp texture is useful beside softer foods such as cheese, dips or a sandwich filling.
Serve whole gherkins on a grazing plate, slice them lengthways for sandwiches or cut them into rounds for burgers. For a salad, chop a few and fold them through potatoes, beans or your usual leafy mix. Finely chopped pieces can also add tang and crunch to a sandwich spread. On crackers, a slice pairs with cheese or hummus; at dinner, a small portion can sit beside a savoury meal as a sharp accompaniment.
The whole format lets you choose the shape and size of each serving, making this jar useful for both a shared platter and meals prepared in the kitchen. It is different from a jar of ready-sliced pickles, where the cutting has already been done. Certified organic, vegan and a product of Germany. Mustard seed is an ingredient, so take that into account when serving anyone with a food allergy. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 5 days; plan a few uses close together when opening the 670g jar.
