About Dill pickles
Dill pickles are cucumbers preserved in a seasoned brine or vinegar, with dill providing a characteristic herbal aroma and flavour. The cucumbers remain firm or crisp to varying degrees, and the finished pickle tastes salty and sour, sometimes with garlic or other spices.
They are sold whole, sliced or speared, and may be fermented in brine or acidified with vinegar. These methods and recipes differ, so a fermented dill pickle should not be assumed to have the same composition as a vinegar-pickled product.
