- 1. Hi Is it possible to locally source your gherkins, and if so, will you be doing it in the future as it is not environmentally friendly to import them all the way from Turkey. Thanks.

As you know, gherkins are small cucumbers. The cucumber plant prefers to grow in tropical, sub tropical and mild temperature zones of the world. For this reason, one of the largest growing regions for gherkins in the world is India. The UK climate is not suited to gherkins and as such McDonald's imports them.

This is a bit of a myth. The gherkins are actually there as a signature ingredient of McDonald's burgers, and have been part of McDonald's sandwiches for decades for no other reason than taste.
