Whether it's bread and butter pickles, gherkins, dill pickles, Polish or German pickles, cinnamon pickles, kool-aid pickles or even breaded pickles, today is the day to enjoy your favourite pickles even more on National Pickle Day!
A pickled cucumber (commonly known as a pickle in the United States and Canada and a gherkin in Britain, Ireland, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand) is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solution and left to ferment for a period of time, by either immersing the cucumbers in an acidic solution or through souring by lacto-fermentation. Pickled cucumbers are often part of mixed pickles.
Happy National Pickle Day!
