About Pickles, cucumber, dill or kosher dill

A dill pickle is simply a cucumber cured in a salty brine flavored with dill, garlic and spices; kosher dills lean heavily on the garlic. The fermentation or vinegar pickling that preserves them is also what gives them their sharp, mouth-puckering tang and signature crunch.

Because they are mostly water and cucumber, pickles are remarkably low in calories, around 12 per 100 grams, with negligible fat and only a trace of carbohydrate. The trade-off is salt: that preserving brine pushes sodium well past 800 milligrams per 100 grams, which is the one number worth watching if you are keeping an eye on blood pressure.

They add a bright, acidic crunch to burgers and sandwiches and a salty bite straight from the jar. Anyone limiting sodium can look for reduced-salt versions, though the brine is central to what a pickle is.
