Pickled cucumbers are a popular snack in many countries and are also known as salted cucumbers or simply pickles. They are cucumbers that have been preserved in a brine of water, vinegar, salt, and other spices. The process of pickling cucumbers not only preserves them but also enhances their flavor, giving them a tangy and salty taste. Pickled cucumbers are often enjoyed on their own as a snack or as a condiment to add crunch and flavor to sandwiches and burgers. They are a staple in many traditional cuisines, such as Russian, Jewish, and American, where they are enjoyed as part of a meal or as a side dish. Some people even enjoy drinking the brine of pickled cucumbers as a refreshing and tangy beverage.
