Sweet cornichons are small gherkin cucumbers pickled in a brine with a gentle sweetness, so the sharpness of vinegar is softened without losing the crunch. This Bodrum jar holds 680 g under a red lid, and whole spice seeds are visible at the bottom of the glass. The label shows vegan, gluten free and non-GMO badges and states no added preservatives, colours or sweeteners. The nutrition panel lists 4 g of sugars per 100 g.
The mild sweet-sour taste makes them a natural partner for cold cuts, pâté, cheese boards and sandwiches, and they are a favourite beside burgers, hot dogs and fried chicken. On a Turkish table they sit comfortably with kebab, kofte, tost and breakfast spreads, or you can chop them into potato salad, egg salad and yoghurt dips.
Store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. The label asks you to keep the jar refrigerated once opened and to eat the contents within one week.
