Gherkins, pickled, drained

Gherkins are small cucumbers preserved by pickling. The figures here describe pickled gherkins after the liquid has been drained off. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of carbohydrate and fibre, with little fat or protein. Per 100g, they contain 2.6g of carbohydrate, including 2.4g of sugars, alongside 1.5g of fibre and 1.7g of salt.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as draining the pickling liquid does not remove all the salt in the gherkins. Salt content can vary between products, so labels can help with comparisons. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
