Gherkins, raw

Gherkins are small cucumbers; the figures here describe them raw, with the ends trimmed, rather than pickled. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 96g of water, 1.8g of carbohydrate, 11mg of vitamin C and 0.03g of salt.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Raw gherkins contain little fat or salt. Pickled gherkins may contain added salt or sugar, so these figures do not describe products preserved in brine or vinegar. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
