Pickled Cucumber
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.
Cucumber
Cucumber is mainly grown in the North of Vietnam. Since it just grows well in cool weather, so there are only 2 main crops per year, the first crop (Spring â?? Summer) is from March to May and the second (Autumn â?? Winter) is from November to January of the following year. The output per season is about 8,000 - 10,000 metric tons of fresh materials.
Processing
Cucumber is often harvested after 40-45 days since planting and the leading time for harvest lasts around two months. In the harvest time, cucumber still grows very quickly, so it should be picked everyday or so its size can be changed from 4-7 cm to 7-10 cm.
Recipe
Our pickled cucumbers are manufactured under a traditional recipe by using salt, sugar, spices, and acetic acid. It is done through a brine fermentation process. Fresh cucumbers are picked, washed and salted thoroughly, and then added to a brine solution for a number of weeks. Vinegar, sugar and spices can be added to the process depending on customer's requirements.
