What it is
These are sliced cucumbers preserved in a brine. The brine typically contains vinegar, water, salt, and various spices. This process gives them their characteristic tangy flavor and crisp texture. They are a common condiment and ingredient in many dishes. The slices are usually uniform in thickness, making them easy to measure and use in recipes. They are ready to eat straight from the jar.

Their refreshing crunch can cut through the richness of many dishes. They are also a popular ingredient in relish recipes.
