Gherkins
Raw gherkins reach their peak between July and September, mirroring the British summer cucumber harvest. While available year-round in pickled form, the fresh, crunchy fruit is a brief seasonal specialty. Low in calories and high in water content, they provide a crisp source of vitamin K and antioxidants.
