@lindagI will try to explain however this may be difficult due to English translation and Polish cousin specificity. We recognize in Poland fresh cucumber and pickled cucumber (gherkin). Low- salt cucumber is something in-between - this is the cucumber which is pickled for a very short time - just for few days (2-3). They are not pickled yet but at the same time not fresh anymore.
