Cornichon
Cornichons are cucumbers preserved in a brine or vinegar solution and used worldwide as a tangy condiment or snack in cuisines from American deli plates to South Asian achars. They are typically crisp, sour, and sometimes fermented, which contributes to their characteristic flavor and texture. Nutritionally, Cornichons are very light in energy at 14kcal per 100g and provide some fiber along with small amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, manganese and copper. Brined/fermented varieties can also contain live bacteria that support gut microbial diversity when unpasteurized. Overall, Cornichons are a low-calorie way to add flavor and a bit of crunch to meals; just be mindful of salt content and opt for low‑sodium or homemade versions when possible.
