Crisp, tart pickles made from tiny gherkin cucumbers. The gherkin is a fruit similar in form and nutritional value to a cucumber. Gherkins and cucumbers belong to the same species but are different cultivar groups. They are usually picked when 4 to 8 cm in length and pickled in jars or cans with vinegar (often flavored with herbs, particularly dill; hence, dill pickle) or brine to resemble a pickled cucumber. The term can also be used to refer to the West Indian Burr Gherkin (Cucumis anguria), a related species, originally from West Africa and introduced to the West Indies, probably by the Portuguese. It is edible and may be pickled, but must be picked when no longer than 4 cm long, since it becomes bitter and spiny if allowed to grow larger.
The Borlotti beans are an excellent source of vitamin B1, they are rich in phosphorus, magnesium, iron and potassium. Consumed with other grains, such as brown rice, they provide high-quality protein.
A classic combination of rice, sweet onions, mint and dill is gently hand wrapped inside tender grape leaves. Serve at room temperature and pair with feta.
Cannellini beans are large white beans, about 1/2 long, with a firm texture and skin and a nut-like flavor. Very popular in Italy, and especially Tuscany. Cannellini beans are mild in flavor and hold their shape well.
Cento Whole Hot Cherry Peppers are farm fresh red and green cherry peppers, picked at the peak of freshness and packed in vinegar for a crunchy texture. Use these hot peppers to add a spicy kick to your favorite recipe.
